When investing in an infrared sauna like the Outexer Sauna, it’s only natural to wonder: Will it fit me comfortably? Whether you’re tall, broad-shouldered, or simply want to stretch out and relax, understanding the ideal height and weight recommendations can help you make a confident decision.
Why Size Matters in a Sauna
Comfort is key when it comes to enjoying a sauna session. Infrared therapy works best when you’re relaxed and able to sit or recline in a natural position. Cramped spaces can affect both your posture and your overall experience. That’s why Outexer designs each model with user comfort and body fit in mind.
General Recommendations
Most Outexer Sauna models, especially our popular T-50C and HK3, are designed to comfortably accommodate users up to 6’3” (190 cm) in height and 300 lbs (136 kg) in weight. These dimensions allow for ease of entry and exit, a natural sitting position, and room to stretch your legs.
For users above this range, we recommend exploring larger models such as the T-59C3, which provide extra interior width and headroom, offering better space distribution for taller or heavier individuals.
Seated Comfort
All Outexer infrared saunas come with ergonomic bench seating made from Canadian Hemlock wood, a material known for its durability and smooth finish. The benches are approximately 18 inches (45 cm) high and 20–22 inches (50–55 cm) deep, making them suitable for a wide range of body types.
We suggest users between 5’0” and 6’3” (152–190 cm) will find the backrest and bench height to be especially comfortable for long sessions. Taller users may consider adding a lower footrest or small cushion for added leg comfort.
Shared Use Considerations
For two-person saunas, such as the HK3 and HY5, Outexer recommends a combined weight under 550 lbs (250 kg) for optimal comfort and safety. The interior layout is designed to allow two adults to sit side-by-side without shoulder cramping or limited space.
Final Tip: Measure Your Space First
Before choosing a model, take a moment to measure your available space at home, as well as your personal sitting height and shoulder width. These factors can influence not only how the sauna fits your body but how it fits your lifestyle.
At Outexer, we believe your sauna should be a daily retreat—not a tight squeeze. If you're still unsure about which model is best for your size or space, our customer care team is always happy to help you find the perfect fit.
