The Best Sauna Accessories

Sauna Rocks/Stones

Sauna rocks are the most important accessory you can buy for your sauna. This is because they are what set the atmosphere of the whole sauna. If you have cheap rocks then they can possibly explode or not distribute the heat efficiently.

Since these rocks are so important we have created a whole article about the best stones you can purchase. If you’re looking for the best sauna rocks then we recommend visiting our buying guide HERE.

Sauna Thermometers/Hydrometers

Sauna thermometers/hydrometers are another very important accessory that you can have for your sauna. The reason for this is because you need to know how hot your sauna is running. This can help with stopping your sauna from overheating, setting the temperature to your preferred temperature, and making sure you don’t overheat yourself.

Even though most modern saunas come with a thermometer in the unit itself or the heater, it’s always smart to have a second thermometer to compare the temperature. A great thing about these thermometers is that they come in different shapes and sizes (we prefer wood). They have also become extremely cheap so people who have already spent so much money on their sauna don’t have to worry about even more expenses.

Sauna Benches

If your sauna doesn’t have a built-in bench then it is wise to purchase your own. There is nothing worse than investing the money into a sauna that doesn’t have a chair to offer.

Sauna benches can often be a little pricey, but this is simply because of the high-quality woods and other materials used to make them. Since they have to be durable enough to last the extreme temperatures, they often use expensive woods.

Some features that many of these benches offer are small shelves beneath them. This allows you to put things like towels, buckets/ladles, and water bottles underneath you. Keeping everything in the sauna organized and tidy.

One piece of advice we have when purchasing these benches is to pick a wood that matches your sauna’s wood. Also, make sure that the materials used can withstand the heat produced by the sauna.

Sauna Buckets & Ladles

A bucket and ladle (or dipper) are essential accessories for a sauna. Why? Because they allow you to pour water over hot sauna rocks. This promotes steam that beneficial to your lungs, pores, and cardiac system.

Many people who have colds or who want to clear their lungs use steam in a sauna to help them. It’s also very invigorating and provides one of the best authentic sauna environments available.

These new sauna buckets can sometimes be costly, but this is because of the durable materials used to build them. The wood is often high quality as it has to last the hot temperature that saunas produce.

Non-Essential Sauna Accessories 

Sauna Eucalyptus Oil

Many sauna enthusiasts use eucalyptus oil regularly with their sauna. They do this because eucalyptus oil offers many benefits. Benefits ranging from anti-inflammatory, decongestant, antibacterial, antispasmodic, stimulating, and many other benefits.

With all these benefits they use this oil as an arsenal to the many other benefits that saunas promote. In combination, your body is a well-oiled machine that is ready to go.

Eucalyptus oil also smells very good and can be very relaxing. Many people put a few drops into the water, pour the water on the rocks, and then breathe & relax. This improves the sauna experience and brings it to the next level.

Sauna Backrest

Often times sauna seats come with a flat backrest or no backrest at all. This can be very uncomfortable and unpleasant at times. To combat this ergonomic backrests have been made.

These backrests are often S-Shaped and are a perfect solution if you hate having a sore back after your sauna use. They are built with high-quality material and can withstand the heat that saunas produce.

These backrests aren’t only for slimmer people, but can also be used with people up to 275 pounds. No assembly is required and most come with a 3-year limited warranty.

Sauna Seat Cushion

Another comfort item to look at is a sauna seat cushion. This of course if for your bum and provides much comfort. Often times the hard and durable wood used for sauna seats can be uncomfortable. This sauna cushion is to combat this and provide a relaxing and comfortable seat.

This particular seat cushion is made with superior fade and tear-resistant marine grade polyester fabric. Its foam core is mold and moisture resistant which is important as it will last through the wet and dry heat that saunas promote

It has a neutral brown color that fits naturally into any sauna room. So you won’t have to compromise comfortability with style.
