Why Our Sauna?

We believe sauna should feel restorative, comfortable, and deeply grounding. Our sauna is intentionally designed using traditional Finnish principles—so you experience the kind of heat, breath, and stillness that keeps people coming back.

  • A real Finnish sauna experience—designed for comfort, heat, and connection.

    Our sauna is built in the traditional Finnish style, with thoughtful details that make a big difference: two-tier seating, proper heat circulation, and space to truly relax. It’s designed for longer, more comfortable sauna rounds—whether you’re new to sauna or a longtime lover of the heat.

  • Traditional Finnish Sauna vs. Barrel Sauna

    Not all saunas are created equal. Many barrel saunas look charming but are limited in how they heat and how people can sit inside. A traditional Finnish sauna is designed for balance—heat rises where it should, bodies can recline, and the experience feels calm, social, and restorative.

  • Choose your heat. Sit back. Stay longer.

    Our sauna features two bench levels:

    • The upper bench reaches proper Finnish sauna temperatures

    • The lower bench offers gentler heat for beginners or cooldowns

    This means warmer feet, better löyly (steam), and the ability to sit or recline comfortably—unlike barrel saunas, which often have one heat zone, upright seating, and cold feet.

Comparison of Finnish sauna and barrel sauna with labeled differences. The Finnish sauna shows even heat distribution, two-tier benches for adjustable heat, and is built for proper heat and comfort. The barrel sauna shows uneven heat layers, heat trapped at the top, no upper bench, and features cold feet syndrome. Text invites experiencing the difference at Forest Bay Sauna, Green Bay, WI.
