In-Home Sauna Rental in San Francisco
Using a sauna once in a while is fine. Using a sauna consistently is where the physiological improvements actually show up — cardiovascular resilience, stress reduction, sleep depth, the whole longevity-bait package. The problem is that in San Francisco, most people rent. That means: no remodeling, no 240V upgrades, no owning a 500-lb wooden box you have to drag between leases. And trekking to a crowded spa after work feels like a punishment ritual, not wellness.
This is why SF Sauna exists: to make daily sauna use realistic for normal SF living, especially if you rent your place, move often, or don't want to play electrician on your day off. We handle literally everything — the space check, electrical read, delivery, installation, teardown, the whole ordeal. You just press ON and sweat.
Daily Heat Therapy Without Leaving Home
Consistency is the whole ballgame. A 20–30 minute session you can do before bed or right after coffee is 10x more sustainable than scheduling spa trips or commuting to a gym. Having the unit in your home means the friction is basically zero. Flip it on, let it heat while you make tea, step in, step out, done.
We rent both infrared and Finnish dry saunas, each with indoor and outdoor options depending on your space. No noisy fans, no sketchy Amazon saunas. Legit units. Legit heat.
Designed for Renters
SF is a city of transience — job changes, roommate swaps, housing musical chairs. Buying a sauna is a capital-B Commitment. Renting one is lightweight. When you move, we move it. When you're done, we pick it up. No sunk cost, no weird Craigslist buyer energy.
Electrical? All our units run on standard 120V. If you've got a regular outlet, you're fine. If not, we'll tell you.
What Installation Looks Like
We schedule a free fit check, confirm your electrical, choose the model with you, and install in ~2–3 hours. Our team handles all carpentry, leveling, panel locks, wiring, and safety checks. You don't touch tools. You don't drag anything up stairs. You don't deal with freight shipping.
