Dimensions & space
Plan your space and power
The two things to confirm before you order: a level indoor spot that fits the cabin, and a 120 V outlet on its own circuit.
| Item | Measurement |
|---|---|
| Floor space (W × D) | 46 × 40 in |
| Height | 75 in. Allow extra ceiling height to fit the roof cover during assembly. |
| Interior (W × D × H) | 42 × 36 × 68 in |
| Weight | 285 lb assembled |
| Power | 120 V, 15 A, non-GFCI outlet on a dedicated circuit |
- Choose a dry, level indoor spot, away from any source of water
- Keep the outlet easy to reach. Don't use adapters, surge protectors or extension cords.
- Bedrooms, home gyms and primary suites work well. Indoor use only: outdoor placement voids the warranty.
- The sauna heats more slowly in rooms below 70°F. Golden Designs doesn't recommend use below 60°F.
Installation
How assembly works
The panels clasp together, and the only tools needed are a Phillips screwdriver and a ladder. Golden Designs calls for two adults. The owner's manual walks through every step with diagrams.
Before delivery
- Confirm a 120 V, 15 A outlet on a dedicated circuit, and have an electrician add one if needed
- Clear a path to the room. The sauna arrives in 2 boxes, 370 lb in total.
- Inspect the heaters for shipping damage before you start
Build the cabin
- Floor panel first
- Then the rear and side panels, which clasp together
- Fit the bench heater panel and bench, then the front panel with the glass door
Finish & power on

- Connect each heater, light and sensor cord at the roof

Using & care
Simple to use, easy to keep
Your session
- Preheat for about 25–30 minutes to reach 115–120°F, or sit inside as it warms
- Most people use 118–122°F, for about 20–30 minutes
- Sit on one folded towel and use a second to wipe away sweat
Stay comfortable
- Drink water before, during and after
- Start with shorter sessions and build up
- After 3 hours of continuous use, give the sauna a 1-hour rest
Care
- Wipe benches and walls with plain water and a soft, damp cloth
- Never use chemical cleaners on the wood
- Unplug before cleaning
Leave the sauna right away if you feel dizzy, sleepy or uncomfortable. If you're pregnant, have a heart or blood pressure condition, take medication or have any medical condition, check with your clinician before use. Avoid alcohol before or during sessions, and supervise children closely.
Research
What regular sauna use may support
Training & recovery
A 20-minute infrared session after workouts helped athletes feel less sore and recover their performance faster. Read the study
Joint comfort
Infrared warmth eased joint stiffness and discomfort during sessions, and participants tolerated it well. Read the study
Healthy blood pressure
Adding a short sauna after exercise lowered blood pressure more than exercise alone. Read the study
Heart health over time
In a long-term Finnish study, people who used a sauna 4 to 7 times a week had lower rates of heart-related death than those who went once a week. Read the study
Tension relief
Regular sauna sessions reduced the intensity of tension-type headaches in adults who had them often. Read the study
The bigger picture
A review of sauna research summarizes what is known about regular sauna bathing and health. Read the review
Most long-term heart research studied traditional Finnish saunas as part of a healthy lifestyle. These findings show links, not guarantees, and a sauna complements care from your healthcare team rather than replacing it.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Do I need an electrician?
It runs on a 120 V, 15 A, non-GFCI outlet, and the owner's manual calls for a dedicated circuit. If you don't have one near your spot, an electrician can add it. No 240 V line is needed.
How hot does it get, and how long does it take?
Most people enjoy it at 118–122°F. It reaches 115–120°F in about 25–30 minutes from a room above 70°F, and can heat up to 140°F. The control panel goes up to 150°F, but Golden Designs explains that setting simply keeps the heaters running, since the room won't reach it.
Can I assemble it myself?
Yes. The panels clasp together with a Phillips screwdriver and a ladder, and Golden Designs calls for two adults. The owner's manual and assembly video above walk through each step.
Can it go outdoors or in a garage?
It's for indoor use only, and outdoor placement voids the warranty. Choose a dry, level spot away from water, in a room that stays above 60°F.
What does full spectrum mean here?
Along with 5 far infrared carbon heaters, this model adds 2 near infrared elements, so you get two infrared wavelengths in one session. Golden Designs rates the carbon heaters under 3 mG of EMF at 2 to 3 inches.
How does it compare with the Cordoba?
Both are 2-person full spectrum Dynamic saunas with the same heaters, controls and price. The Santiago is 46 × 40 in and 285 lb; the Cordoba is 46 × 41 in and 300 lb. Compare their photos to choose the look you prefer.
Will it fit through my doorways?
It arrives as flat panels and is built in place. Chat with us now with your doorway and stair measurements, and we'll help you check the largest panel sizes before you order.
What if something arrives damaged?
Photograph the packaging and the product, then contact us within 48 hours of delivery. Chat with us now or email info@heavenlifewellness.com.
