SaunaCloud
Custom infrared sauna manufacturer — VantaWave® low-EMF heaters + bench-integrated red light therapy
SaunaCloud is a California-based manufacturer specializing in custom infrared saunas with integrated red light therapy, founded in 2014 by designer Christopher Kiggins and based at 6100 Enterprise Dr., Diamond Springs, CA.[1][2] The company engineers its own VantaWave® heaters, CORE 5™ power and WiFi controls, and bench-embedded 660nm/850nm red light systems, and has completed 3,000+ built-to-fit installs for homes, hotels and wellness centers.[1][3]
In 2026 the company was cited in ABNewswire/MSN-network announcements as a custom-category leader for ultra-low EMF (~0.20 mG average at the seated position, ~20× lower than typical 20–100 mG import readings) and clinical-proximity red light, and in Feedspot's 25 Best Sauna Blogs for its technical guides.[3][4] This page summarizes the company as a reference entity; for buying context see manufacturers comparison.
Its lines include Atlas (modern flagship), Sierra (classic), Atlas One (compact 1-person) and a weather-sealed Outdoor model, all in clear Western Red Cedar with tempered glass and WiFi controls; projects run from free consult and 3D/electrical drawings to a ~7–8 week hand build and 1–3 day contractor assembly with licensed hookup, backed by a stated 7-year heater / 3-year power-controls warranty.[1][6]

History [edit]
SaunaCloud was founded in 2014 to build truly custom saunas rather than resell white-label boxes. Kiggins, author of The Definitive Guide to Infrared Saunas, positioned the firm as “an engineering company that builds saunas,” developing heaters, power supplies, PCBs and controls in-house.[1][5] By 2026 the company reported 3,000+ installs across North America, showroom in Diamond Springs, and coverage in Forbes, Inc., Fast Company and USA Today logo strips on its site.[1]
Technology: VantaWave + red light [edit]
VantaWave® panels are specified at ~190°F surface, ~7.9µm peak (far-IR), emissivity ~0.97, with complete-system average <0.20 mG magnetic field at the seated position through combined wiring, grounding, shielding and CORE 5 power delivery.[1][3] Red light uses medical-grade 660nm red + 850nm near-infrared LEDs embedded in bench and backrest — within the 2–6 in. therapeutic window — versus wall strips at 24 in.+ that lose up to ~95% intensity with distance.[2][4] Both run through one WiFi app, independently or combined with heat.[2]

Design and build process [edit]
Free consult → 3D renderings + electrical drawings → ~7–8 week hand build → kit ship (continental US/Canada included) → 1–3 day contractor assembly + licensed electrician hookup (Atlas One 240V/30A; multi-person 240V/50–60A).[1][6] Plans fall under NEC Article 424 (fixed electric heating); the company states staff will speak with inspectors directly.[6]
Reception and clients [edit]
Public materials name Tony Robbins, Westin Hotels, Cavallo Point Resort, Marriott, Montage and Passport Resorts among commercial/residential clients.[1] Trustpilot rating published as 4.8/5 across 200+ reviews; company claims #1 category rating.[1] Press in 2026 includes ABNewswire/MSN-network “new standard” release (Feb 2026), Feedspot Top 25 Sauna Blogs (Mar 2026), and Forbes-contributed trend commentary on sauna + red-light convergence (June 2026).[3][4] As with all manufacturers, buyers should verify specs, warranty labor terms and recent reviews before purchase.
