Short answer: pick an Almost Heaven kit if you want a traditional, high-heat sauna with steam from the stones, a known price from $3,885 and a room you can assemble yourself. Pick SaunaCloud if you want infrared heat at lower air temperatures, your space is an odd size, and you’re fine paying more and waiting 8–12 weeks for a custom build. Specs come from SaunaCloud and Select Saunas on Oct 13, 2026. We haven’t tested either ourselves.

Design concept: SaunaCloudBest when you want infrared, need it to fit a specific closet, nook or remodel, and would rather hire a contractor than assemble a kit. You see renderings and an itemized quote before paying. Tradeoffs: higher total cost, no installation service, and no traditional stone heat. See our full SaunaCloud review.

Choose SaunaCloud if…
- You want lower-temperature infrared heat, not a hot stone sauna.
- Your room doesn’t fit a standard box, or you’re remodeling anyway.

Choose Almost Heaven if…
- You want the classic sauna: 180°F+ air and water on the stones.
- You want a fixed price under $5,000 and a kit you can assemble yourself.
- You already have, or can add, a 240V/30A circuit. Compare all seven in best indoor home sauna kits.
FAQ
Is SaunaCloud more expensive than Almost Heaven?
Usually. Almost Heaven indoor kits start at $3,885 at Select Saunas. SaunaCloud quotes each project; its FAQ puts kits at $5,000–$15,000+ before $999 shipping and installation.
Which one is easier to install?
An Almost Heaven kit is prefab panels you can assemble yourself; you still need an electrician for the 240V heater. SaunaCloud ships framing and wiring plans for a contractor to build on site.
Can I get both heat types?
SaunaCloud doesn’t make hybrids. The Almost Heaven Madison offers optional infrared panels alongside its stone heater (our Madison review).
