What to Look for in a Premium Sauna or Ice Bath Setup

In the world of recovery, performance, and holistic wellness, investing in a high quality sauna or ice bath isn’t just about luxury; it’s about results. Whether you're an athlete looking to boost performance or someone committed to elevating your daily wellbeing, your setup matters.

Here’s what to look for when choosing a premium sauna or cold therapy system and why Revel is setting the new standard.

1. Temperature Control That Works for You

A premium setup isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about performance. Look for systems that offer precise temperature control so you can tailor your experience to your needs.

Ice Bath Tip: Recovery experts recommend 3–11°C for optimal cold immersion. Explore Revel Ice Baths.
Sauna Tip: Infrared and traditional saunas should reach consistent, therapeutic heat levels for effective detox and relaxation. View Revel Saunas.

2. Durability and Design That Last

Premium builds use marine grade materials, insulated walls, and weather resistant finishes, especially if your unit will be outdoors or exposed to moisture. You should expect beauty and longevity from your setup.

At Revel, our saunas and chillers are crafted with Australian conditions in mind, built to endure both climate and time. See why Revel is different.

3. Integrated Wellness Technology

Next-gen setups go beyond basic heat or cold; they incorporate vibration speakers, red light therapy, smart timers, and more.

Add-ons like our Red Light Heating Panel elevate your sauna with light therapy benefits. Shop the Helio Red Light Panel.
Revel saunas feature under seat vibration speakers and low EMF tech for a truly immersive experience. Discover the Aura Sauna.

4. Ease of Use and Maintenance

Your recovery setup should work for you, not the other way around. Look for systems with quick install options, smart drainage, intuitive controls, and low maintenance filtration systems.

The XY Pro Chiller is designed with fast cooling and easy maintenance, even for beginners.

5. Aesthetic That Matches Your Space

A premium wellness setup should feel like a seamless part of your home or facility. Clean lines, floating benches, luxury timber, and ambient lighting make all the difference.

Revel products are designed to look as good as they perform because your space should feel like a sanctuary. Explore packages.

When you invest in a premium sauna or ice bath, you're investing in your body, your mind, and your performance. Don’t settle for anything less than exceptional. At Revel, we blend innovation, design, and performance to bring you next level wellness at home.

Part of the daily routine - we love it

We love our Tampere 4 Person Traditional Sauna. The delivery process was first rate. The unit was easy to unpack and assemble. The customer support was first rate as we learnt how to use the sauna correctly.

We use the sauna in the middle of the day to take advantage of solar power. The sauna sits nicely in the indoor pool area so that we have easy access to the shower, spa, pool and sauna.

The daily sauna experience is something we look forward to - pure relaxation. We feel more energetic and healthier since we've started using it.

We highly recommend Revel Saunas - great products, great service, great prices. I guess it's ice bath next.................

Hi Pete,

Thank you so much for the glowing review! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear how much you’re enjoying your Tampere 4 Person Traditional Sauna. It definitely sounds like the perfect setup, especially in your pool area! It’s wonderful to know it’s become a part of your daily wellness routine and that you’re feeling the benefits already. We truly appreciate your kind words about the product and service. An ice bath sounds like a fantastic next step. Thanks again for your support!

Revel in Wellness,

Absolutely love it!!

I have used my fair share of saunas and this is by far one of the simplest ones yet. Effortless and such a great design! Wish I had invested sooner… thanks for the customer service team for being so easy to deal with. I can’t wait to purchase my ice bath next!

Hi Kayla,

Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear you’re loving your sauna and found it so simple and well-designed. It’s great to know our customer service team made the process easy for you too. We can’t wait to help you with your ice bath next!

Great product but some nuances

I love my sauna and use it 4 or more times per week. Still using it and it hasn’t lost its appeal even after 12 months. The sauna is still performing perfectly.
One downside is that I bought the 4 person sauna and it isn’t long enough to lie flat on the bench and if I had to purchase again I would get the 8 person size.
Also read the fine print. You do need 25 Amp power to the heater which needs to be installed by an electrician and buried 60cm which for me was more costly than expected as it required cutting through a section of concrete driveway.
I still love my sauna and would definitely buy it or a bigger one again if I ever move house.

Hi Burni,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your sauna is still going strong and getting plenty of use even after 12 months. We really appreciate you sharing your experience with the setup and sizing as well - it’s valuable feedback for future customers and for us as well. It sounds like you've made the most of your sauna despite the installation challenges, and we’re so glad it’s become such a well-loved part of your routine. If you ever decide to upgrade to the 8-person model down the track, we’d be more than happy to help. Thanks again for your support and kind words!
