Infrared Sauna Melbourne

If an infrared sauna in Melbourne is on your list, it helps to see how the options differ in size, heat and price. Cedar & Stone offers two ways in: a dedicated cedar Infrared Sauna and a Hybrid barrel that combines infrared with traditional heat. Both can be viewed at our Bayswater showroom, 3/38 Corporate Boulevard, by appointment.

This guide compares the two, outlines the specifications we can confirm, and explains how to plan a purchase.

Infrared Sauna vs Hybrid: side by side

The two models serve different buyers. The Infrared Sauna is the lower cost option, while the Hybrid suits households that want room for four to six people and the flexibility of traditional heat. See both in our infrared sauna collection.

Inside the Infrared Sauna

This model is built from Western Red Cedar and uses five full spectrum heaters. Together they cover the near (0.76-1.4 μm), mid (1.4-3 μm) and far (3-14 μm) infrared bands. Two ultra low EMF carbon heating panels form part of the heating setup.

Comfort features include chromotherapy lighting and dual speakers with Bluetooth, USB and FM, so you can listen to music or a podcast while you sit. Ask our team about seating capacity, whether it suits indoor or outdoor placement, and exact dimensions before you choose a spot.

Inside the Hybrid

The Hybrid shares its construction with our traditional barrels. Sustainably sourced Western Red Cedar staves are joined with groove-and-socket construction and bound with stainless steel bands. A 6000W Harvia electric heater sits with 20kg of Harvia stones for classic heat, and infrared is added alongside it.

The curved walls assist heat circulation, and a tinted half window at the rear brings in natural light. If you are drawn to the barrel shape but unsure about heat style, the Hybrid avoids having to choose. You can compare it with our other barrels on the cedar barrel saunas page.

Who each option suits

The Infrared Sauna tends to appeal to buyers who want a lower entry price and a cabin with built-in entertainment. Its lighting and speakers make it easy to settle in for a quiet session at the end of the day.

The Hybrid is a bigger commitment at A$10,990, and it rewards households that want to share the space. Because it carries a Harvia heater and stones as well as infrared, one family member can enjoy steam while another prefers a gentler session on a different day. For buyers who value the classic approach above all, our traditional sauna guide covers the stone-heated range.

Questions to answer before you buy

Indoors or outdoors?

The Hybrid is a barrel designed for the garden. For a spare room, garage or studio, browse our indoor saunas, and ask us which setting suits the Infrared Sauna.

Power and placement

Infrared cabins and traditional heaters draw power differently. Ask our team for the power requirements of each model, and check them with your electrician before the sauna arrives.

How you like to bathe

Some people prefer the gentle radiant warmth of infrared, while others want to pour water over hot stones. Trying both in the showroom is the most reliable way to find out which you enjoy.

Longer term costs

Budget for more than the purchase price. Ask us about warranty terms and what installation involves for your home, so the full cost is clear from the start.
