Sauna Sizes & What Drives the Cost (Tylö)

Sauna shopping has a convenient quirk: Tylö names its models by how many people fit inside. A Kiruna 2 seats two. A Halmstad 4 seats four. So the size question answers itself fast — and what's left is the pair of choices that really set the price: the heat type, and where the sauna lives. Here's the whole picture.

The sizes, plainly

Tylö's lineup runs 12 models across five collections, from cozy one-to-two-person cabins up to four-person rooms with wraparound benches:

• 1–2 person — the personal-wellness size. Fits a corner of a bathroom, bedroom, or gym. The compact infrared Kiruna models plug into a standard outlet, which makes this the easiest wellness install we sell.
• 3 person — the flexible middle. Room to stretch out solo or sit a few people. The best-selling territory.
• 4 person — the family and social size. Wraparound seating, room to lie down.

The trade-off as you go up: more seats means more space, a bigger heater, more power, and a longer heat-up. Size to the sessions you'll really have — a daily solo user is happier in a 2-person cabin that heats fast than in a 4-person room that takes longer to warm.

The two choices that set the price

Tylö doesn't publish prices (saunas are quoted through the dealer), so here's the honest version of what moves the number:

1. Heat type. Infrared (Kiruna) is the value entry — the cabins are compact and most plug into a standard 120V outlet, so there's no electrician in the budget. Traditional rock-and-steam (Reflection, Halmstad) adds the real steam ritual and usually a dedicated 240V circuit. Hybrid (Kiruna Hybrid) does both in one cabin — the flexibility costs more than either single-type equivalent.
2. Indoor or outdoor. The outdoor Lulea line is a genuinely different build — thicker insulation, a steel roof, weather-sealed construction — and that weatherproofing is part of its price. Indoor cabins are simpler structures.

Size scales the price within each of those choices, mostly through the heater and materials. And the install side is refreshingly light compared with anything water-filled: a level floor, the right power, ventilation for traditional models. No pad engineering, no crane, no plumbing.

How to choose, in three questions

1. What do you want from the heat? The steam ritual → traditional. Gentle warmth for longer, easier sessions → infrared. Both → hybrid.
2. Where will it live? Inside → any indoor collection. In the yard → Lulea, full stop. (Never put an indoor cabin outside.)
3. Who's really in it most days? Size to that, not to the occasional crowd.

Answer those three and you're down to one or two models. Then come feel the difference between infrared and steam in person — it's the one thing a page can't show you — and we'll quote the exact model, delivery, and any electrical for your site. Get pricing when you're ready.
