Yes. The official specification lists full 6 person capacity.

Yes. The cabin is seventy seven inches wide, so one adult can stretch lengthwise across that width if the bench layout allows it. For exact seating layout, check the product images before ordering.

The Kuusamo is wider and deeper. It is seventy seven inches wide by sixty seven inches deep, while the Forssa is seventy five inches wide by forty eight inches deep.

The listed traditional stove range is 175 to 190°F, with the sauna able to heat up to 195°F.

Plan for 240V / 40A service for the stove and 120V / 15A service for the controls, lights and music. We recommend consulting a certified electrician before delivery.

Do not use the sauna if you are pregnant or trying to conceive, have an active fever, unstable angina, have recently had a heart attack, have severe aortic stenosis, or have uncontrolled high blood pressure. Because a traditional sauna operates at much higher temperatures than an infrared sauna, typically between 160°F and 195°F, the heat stress is more intense.

Consult your physician before use if you have any cardiovascular condition, diabetes, or difficulty regulating body temperature. If you have asthma or respiratory sensitivity, use caution with woods such as cedar, as heat can intensify the release of plicatic acid, a natural irritant that may trigger symptoms in sensitive people.

Consult your physician if you take medication that may affect circulation, blood pressure, sweating, or heat tolerance. Traditional saunas can cause faster, deeper sweating, which may affect how some medications are tolerated or absorbed.

Remove transdermal medication patches before each session unless your physician tells you otherwise, as temperatures up to 195°F may change how quickly medicine is absorbed through the skin. This information is general and does not replace professional medical advice.

Maintenance is simple, but important for the long-term life of the wood.

After each session, wipe the benches and backrests with a damp cloth to remove sweat. Removable benches are helpful because they make it easier to deep clean the lower area, where skin particles and moisture can build up.

For deeper cleaning, use only diluted white vinegar and water or cleaners specifically approved for sauna wood. Avoid bleach, ammonia, or solvents, as the wood may absorb them and release unwanted fumes when heated.

After use, remove damp towels and leave the door slightly open for about 30 minutes. Mechanical ventilation or an exhaust fan should continue running so the cabin can dry fully and reduce the risk of mold, especially in indoor installations.

Inspect the sauna stones annually. Over time, stones can erode and block airflow, which may overheat the heating elements and reduce efficiency.
