The Best 1-Person Compact Infrared Saunas

We're an authorized Dynamic, Maxxus & Golden Designs dealer — we sell, ship, and handle warranty claims on every sauna below. These are the four one-person cabins we'd actually put in a small space, ranked, with the honest trade-offs.

How We Chose

What we judged on

A one-person sauna gets bought for a specific corner of a real home. So we ranked on the things that decide whether it works there — not spec-sheet padding.

1

Footprint & real fit

Exterior dimensions, height, and whether it runs on a standard 120V household outlet — no electrician, no rewiring, no surprises on delivery day.

2

EMF at the bench

Manufacturer-rated EMF levels where you actually sit. Every pick here is low-EMF or better; our top two are ultra-low (3–5 mG).

3

Cost of ownership

Price against what's included — warranty coverage, freight, assembly design, and features like chromotherapy or audio that others charge extra for.

The Shortlist

The shortlist, ranked

1
Dynamic Compact Wide 1-Person Ultra Low EMF Sauna
Best Overall

Dynamic Sicily — 1-Person Compact

$1,399.00 · From $117/mo · Dynamic Saunas

The Sicily (formerly the Compact Wide) is our best-selling one-person sauna, and it earns the top spot on fit alone: a 35.5″ × 28″ footprint that tucks into a bathroom corner, bedroom, or office, standing just 65″ tall. Four ultra-low-EMF carbon heaters (3–5 mG at the bench), Pacific Cedar construction, a standard 120V plug, and it ships in a single 159-lb box with clasp-together assembly. Chromotherapy, red light, and a Bluetooth speaker are all included at $1,399 — nothing on this list matches it for dollars-per-usable-inch.

2
Dynamic Compact Tall 1-Person Ultra Low EMF Sauna
Best for Taller Users

Dynamic Vero — 1-Person Compact (Tall Format)

$1,499.00 · From $125/mo · Dynamic Saunas

The Vero (formerly the Compact Tall) is the Sicily's tall-format sibling — the same ultra-low-EMF far-infrared platform in a cabin built for people who found compact saunas cramped. If you're on the taller side, the extra headroom is the difference between tolerating your sauna and loving it, and at $1,499 it costs only $100 more. Same standard 120V plug, same 5-year warranty, same free freight delivery.

Maxxus S-Line Elite 1-Person Ultra Low EMF Sauna
Premium Cabin Upgrade

Maxxus S-Line Elite — 1-Person

$2,499.00 · From $208/mo · Maxxus

Maxxus's S-Line Elite is the step-up cabin: the S-Line series' more finished interior styling with ultra-low-EMF far-infrared heaters, in a one-person format. At $2,499 you're paying roughly a thousand dollars over the Sicily for build refinement rather than more heat — the right call if the sauna will live somewhere you look at it every day and you want it to feel like furniture.

4
Golden Designs Reserve 1-Person Full Spectrum Sauna
Best Full-Spectrum Luxury

Golden Designs Reserve — 1-Person Full Spectrum

$3,999.00 · From $333/mo · Golden Designs

The only pick on this list with full-spectrum infrared — near, mid, and far wavelengths rather than far-only — plus a built-in Himalayan salt bar. At $3,999 it costs nearly three Sicilys, so it's for the buyer who wants the most complete one-person heat therapy setup available rather than the best value. If that's you, nothing else in a compact footprint comes close.

Our Methodology

How this list is made

We only rank saunas we're authorized to sell and support — that's the honest limitation of this list, and also why it's reliable: we see what ships damaged, what warranty claims look like, and what owners say months later. Prices shown are live and match our product pages. Rankings weigh fit, EMF rating, and total cost of ownership for a single-user home setup; they're updated when the lineup or pricing changes. If your space or budget doesn't match our #1, call (307) 201-4597 and we'll tell you which one actually fits — even if it's the cheaper one.

Not Sure Which One?

Let us match you in 60 seconds

Answer 7 quick questions about your space, budget, and goals — we'll point you to the right model. Free shipping and a real 5-year warranty either way.
