“Now, I’m using the Clearlight Personal Red Light Tower, which uses both red light (650nm) and near-infrared light (850nm). Near-infrared light may aid in the release of melatonin, support mental health and stimulate cells to produce more collagen, thus assisting in muscle recovery and repair. I use it in the mornings on my body while I do my skin care routine.”

In Pride Journeys, editor Joey Amato tests, reviews and highlights how Clearlight infrared saunas have become a favorite among LGBTQ wellness enthusiasts and are more than just a sauna!
Clearlight Founder, Dr. Raleigh Duncan, shares his expertise and insight on how to maximize health and wellness benefits of an outdoor sauna.
Outdoor saunas are having a moment, and for good reason. For homeowners with exterior space to spare, an outdoor sauna provides relaxation in the comfort of your backyard. And for those serious about wellness, saunas make a good investment in your overall well-being. Clearlight founder and infrared sauna technology pioneer shares more on why an outdoor sauna is just what you need in your life.
The Clearlight Curve ® Dome Infrared Sauna named “Best Portable Home Sauna for 2025” after extensive research and hands-on testing.
These are the best portable saunas for ultimate relaxation and healing when you’re at home or on the go.
Curve ® Dome — Why it made the cut:
Achieve full relaxation mode in this personal lay-down sauna.
Not everyone has the space, money, or time for a full-scale sauna installation. But that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice quality. The Curve Sauna Dome allows for a high-quality experience without the hassle of a permanent home sauna. With a memory foam infrared pad and multiple heat level adjustments, this indoor sauna is one of the most comfortable options on our list. Simply set the timer, lay down, and relax. When you’re finished, slide the two domes together for easy storage.
The model uses far-infrared light, known for its wellness benefits, including increased circulation and boosted immunity. It also comes with a lifetime warranty, so you can buy in confidence knowing your purchase is protected. However, this sauna is a more serious investment than others on this list: it’s heavier, less space-efficient, and not travel-friendly.

Clearlight Saunas The Sanctuary Pro 2 person sauna
Founded over 25 years ago, Clearlight is changing the game when it comes to infrared home saunas. Designed by Dr Raleigh Duncan who spent more than 20 years developing technology in healthcare, the saunas are not only beautiful but offer a plethora of therapeutic benefits. The brand says “using the heat produced by a Clearlight Sauna, you can increase perspiration, which helps remove toxins and impurities from the body”. Additionally, “infrared waves cause fat cells in the body’s tissue to to vibrate, facilitating the release of heavy metals and toxins, which are then expelled through the skin, kidneys, and other organs that function specifically for detoxification”. Crafted from okoume wood, this luxurious home sauna offers ample room for two people. High-tech features include a choice of 12 different colours of chromotherapy lights, smartphone app control, built-in stereo speakers and a smart device charging cabinet. Clearlight Saunas
The last thing I bought and loved
was an infrared sauna. I pressured our Herzog & de Meuron apartment building in New York to install one in the gym area, and it fits about six people. I recently bought a smaller one from Clearlight for our house in the Hamptons. I use it as many days as possible – it’s amazing – and I also have a HigherDOSE Infrared Sauna Blanket.
