Product: Medical 5 Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna by Medical Saunas™

Type: Indoor full spectrum infrared sauna for home use

Capacity: 2-3 people

Price range: Check current sale price above

Key fact: Designed by 48 doctors over 10 years. 9 heaters (50% more than the Medical 4). Long enough to lay down inside. Features built-in backrest, color light therapy, 15% thicker glass and wood panels, and 2X faster full spectrum heaters. Requires two 120V outlets (15A + 20A). Built with Canadian hemlock in Los Angeles, CA.

Medical 5 Infrared Sauna: 2-3 Person Full Spectrum, Doctor-Designed

The Medical 5 is the mid-range model in the Medical Sauna Series™. It fits 2-3 people, packs 9 full spectrum heaters (50% more than the Medical 4), and is long enough to lay down inside. It was engineered by 48 doctors, pain specialists, and cardiologists over a decade of research.

This is also where the series steps up in construction: 15% thicker glass and wood panels for better insulation, a built-in backrest for extended sessions, and color light therapy that goes beyond the Medical 4's chromatic system. The trade-off is electrical: the Medical 5 requires two 120V outlets (one 15A, one 20A) instead of a single plug. No 220V wiring needed, but you do need two available circuits.

Doctor Recommended 9 Full Spectrum Heaters Handcrafted in USA 3-Year Warranty 2-3 Person Long Enough to Lay Down Built-in Backrest

Electrical note: The Medical 5 uses two plugs: one 120VAC/15AMP and one 120VAC/20AMP. You need two separate wall outlets on different circuits. A 20A outlet is the wider-slot version common in kitchens and garages. No 220V wiring or electrician is required if you already have both outlet types available. If unsure, check with an electrician before ordering.

Medical 5 vs the model below: What the Upgrade Gets You

The Medical 5 shares all the the model below's therapy systems and adds six features that justify the step up:

9 heaters instead of 6 — 50% more infrared coverage. More heaters means faster heat-up, more uniform temperature, and deeper tissue penetration across a larger body surface area.

Long enough to lay down — The interior width is 57 inches. You can recline fully inside the cabin for yoga stretches, relaxation, or targeted therapy on your back and legs. The the model below is sit-only.

Built-in backrest — Supports your lower back during long sessions. Especially useful for people using the sauna for back pain, sciatica, or post-workout recovery.

15% thicker glass and wood panels — Better insulation means more consistent cabin temperature and lower electricity draw. The sauna holds heat longer between heater cycles.

Full Spectrum Heaters that heat 2X faster — Upgraded heater elements reach operating temperature faster than the the model below's heaters, reducing overall preheat time.

Color Light Therapy — Goes beyond the the model below's chromatic therapy with a broader range of therapeutic wavelengths targeting skin health, mood regulation, and cellular repair.

The trade-off: the Medical 5 needs two wall outlets (15A + 20A) instead of one. If you only have a single standard outlet available, the Medical 4 is your best option on a single plug.

Medical 5 Infrared Sauna Features

Natural Hemlock Wood Construction (15% Thicker)

Built with natural Canadian hemlock in 15% thicker panels than the Medical 3 and 4. Hemlock hardens with age, increasing durability year after year. The thicker panels improve heat retention and reduce energy costs during long sessions. Hemlock's natural astringent properties also enhance skin cleansing during use.

9-Heater Full Spectrum System

Nine heaters positioned around the cabin deliver near-infrared, mid-infrared, and far-infrared wavelengths from every angle. Near-infrared targets skin and surface tissue. Mid-infrared reaches joints and soft tissue. Far-infrared penetrates deepest, raising core body temperature for cardiovascular and detox benefits. The Medical 5's heater elements also use an upgraded design that reaches operating temperature 2X faster than standard full spectrum heaters.

Rapid Internal Heating System™

Reaches full operating temperature in about 40 minutes, compared to 90 minutes to 2 hours for most competing saunas. The 2,600W output across 9 heaters delivers more total thermal power than the the model below's 1,700W across 6. You get faster heat-up, more time in the sauna, and lower energy costs per session.

The Detox Routine™

Sustained full spectrum infrared heat opens pores and drives out toxins accumulated from daily exposure: BPA, heavy metals, phthalates, and nicotine. The Medical 5's 9 heaters cover more body surface area than the smaller models, meaning more pores are activated per session. Consistent daily use following the Detox Routine™ protocol delivers deep detoxification over time.

Built-in Backrest

An integrated backrest supports the lumbar spine during extended sessions. This is a feature the Medical 3 and the model below lack. It makes a noticeable difference for sessions over 20 minutes and for people who specifically use the sauna for back pain or post-exercise recovery.

Safe Cool Down System™

After a session, the cabin's airflow design releases heat gradually. Your body cools at a safe, controlled pace. The thicker insulation panels on the Medical 5 give you a slower, more consistent cool-down compared to thinner-walled models.

Who Is the Medical 5 Infrared Sauna For?

The Medical 5 is the sweet spot between personal use and shared sessions. It fits you if:

  • You want room for 2-3 people, or extra space to lay down solo
  • You value more heater coverage (9 vs 6 in the the model below)
  • You want a built-in backrest for lumbar support during long sessions
  • You prefer thicker insulation for better heat retention and lower energy use
  • You have two available wall outlets (15A + 20A) in the same room
  • You have a space at least 63″ wide and 42″ deep

Only have one outlet? The Medical 4 fits 1-2 people on a single 120V/15A plug. Need room for 3-4 people? The Medical 6 has 11 heaters and the same two-plug setup.

Designed and Built in the USA

Medical Saunas™ are designed, developed, and hand-assembled at the company's Los Angeles factory. The engineering team works directly with medical doctors, cardiologists, and pain specialists at every stage. No outsourced manufacturing. Every unit ships direct from LA.

Backed by Documented Medical Research

Medical Saunas™ only lists health benefits found in published clinical studies. The Medical Sauna Series™ took 10 years to develop with input from 48 medical professionals. Each feature was selected for its measured health impact. Daily full spectrum infrared sauna use has been studied for cardiovascular support, immune function, pain reduction, and whole-body detoxification.

Medical 5 Sauna: Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Medical 5 infrared sauna need special wiring?

Not exactly. It does not need 220V wiring. However, it requires two separate 120V outlets: one standard 15A outlet and one 20A outlet (the wider-slot type common in kitchens and garages). These need to be on different breaker circuits. If you already have both outlet types in the room, no electrician is needed. If not, an electrician can add a 20A outlet relatively inexpensively.

How many people fit in the Medical 5 sauna?

The Medical 5 fits 2-3 people seated. The interior is 57 inches wide, 37 inches deep, and 69 inches tall. It is also long enough for one person to lay down inside, which makes it suitable for yoga stretches, targeted back therapy, or full-body relaxation in a reclined position.

What is the difference between the Medical 4 and Medical 5?

The Medical 5 has 9 heaters vs the the model below's 6 (50% more coverage). It adds a built-in backrest, 15% thicker glass and wood panels, color light therapy, 2X faster full spectrum heater elements, and is long enough to lay down inside. The Medical 5 runs at 2,600W vs 1,700W and requires two 120V outlets (15A + 20A) instead of one. Choose the the model below if you only have one outlet. Choose the Medical 5 if you want more coverage, better insulation, and the ability to recline.

What does "full spectrum" mean in the Medical 5?

Full spectrum means the 9 heaters emit three infrared wavelengths simultaneously: near-infrared (skin and surface tissue), mid-infrared (joints and soft tissue), and far-infrared (core body temperature for cardiovascular and detox benefits). Most budget saunas only produce far-infrared. Full spectrum provides the broadest therapeutic range per session.

How long does the Medical 5 take to heat up?

About 40 minutes. The Medical 5 uses upgraded full spectrum heater elements rated to heat 2X faster than standard elements, and its total 2,600W output across 9 heaters delivers more thermal power than smaller models. Most competing infrared saunas take 90 minutes to 2 hours.

Can I assemble the Medical 5 myself?

Yes. Clasp-together design with no tools required. Two people are strongly recommended since the unit weighs 505 lbs. Professional white glove installation is available at checkout if you prefer not to handle assembly yourself.

How much space do I need for the Medical 5?

The exterior footprint is 63 inches wide (about 5 feet 3 inches), 42 inches deep, and 75 inches tall (6 feet 3 inches). Allow a few extra inches around all sides for airflow and door clearance. It fits in a large spare bedroom, garage, or basement. Ceiling height needs to be at least 6 feet 4 inches.

Can infrared saunas help with endometriosis symptoms?

Some people with endometriosis report that infrared sauna sessions help manage chronic pain and inflammation associated with the condition. Far infrared heat increases blood flow and may reduce pelvic tension. However, clinical evidence specific to endometriosis and infrared sauna use is limited. Consult your OB-GYN or specialist before starting a sauna routine, especially if you are undergoing treatment.

Are infrared saunas safe for cancer patients?

This depends entirely on the individual's condition and treatment plan. Some oncologists recommend gentle infrared sauna use for detox support and pain management during or after treatment. Others advise caution depending on the cancer type, treatment stage, and medications involved. Never use an infrared sauna during active cancer treatment without explicit approval from your oncologist. Medical Saunas recommends discussing sauna use with your cancer care team before starting.

Is the Medical 5 sauna safe for daily use?

Yes. The Medical Sauna Series is designed for daily use. It features low EMF emissions, a Safe Cool Down System for gradual temperature recovery, and adjustable controls. Start with shorter sessions (15-20 minutes) and work up to 30-45 minutes as your body adjusts. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.

What is a medical sauna?

A medical sauna is an infrared sauna engineered by healthcare professionals for measurable therapeutic benefits. The Medical Sauna Series by Medical Saunas was developed over 10 years with input from 48 doctors. Every feature targets documented health outcomes: pain relief, cardiovascular improvement, detoxification, immune support, and better sleep. It differs from standard infrared saunas in that each component is selected based on clinical research.

About 40 minutes. The Medical 5 uses upgraded full spectrum heater elements rated to heat 2X faster than standard elements, and its total 2,600W output across 9 heaters delivers more thermal power than smaller models. Most competing infrared saunas take 90 minutes to 2 hours.

Can I assemble the Medical 5 myself?

Yes. Clasp-together design with no tools required. Two people are strongly recommended since the unit weighs 505 lbs. Professional white glove installation is available at checkout if you prefer not to handle assembly yourself.

How much space do I need for the Medical 5?

The exterior footprint is 63 inches wide (about 5 feet 3 inches), 42 inches deep, and 75 inches tall (6 feet 3 inches). Allow a few extra inches around all sides for airflow and door clearance. It fits in a large spare bedroom, garage, or basement. Ceiling height needs to be at least 6 feet 4 inches.

Can infrared saunas help with endometriosis symptoms?

Some people with endometriosis report that infrared sauna sessions help manage chronic pain and inflammation associated with the condition. Far infrared heat increases blood flow and may reduce pelvic tension. However, clinical evidence specific to endometriosis and infrared sauna use is limited. Consult your OB-GYN or specialist before starting a sauna routine, especially if you are undergoing treatment.

Are infrared saunas safe for cancer patients?

This depends entirely on the individual's condition and treatment plan. Some oncologists recommend gentle infrared sauna use for detox support and pain management during or after treatment. Others advise caution depending on the cancer type, treatment stage, and medications involved. Never use an infrared sauna during active cancer treatment without explicit approval from your oncologist. Medical Saunas recommends discussing sauna use with your cancer care team before starting.

Is the Medical 5 sauna safe for daily use?

Yes. The Medical Sauna Series is designed for daily use. It features low EMF emissions, a Safe Cool Down System for gradual temperature recovery, and adjustable controls. Start with shorter sessions (15-20 minutes) and work up to 30-45 minutes as your body adjusts. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.

What is a medical sauna?

A medical sauna is an infrared sauna engineered by healthcare professionals for measurable therapeutic benefits. The Medical Sauna Series by Medical Saunas was developed over 10 years with input from 48 doctors. Every feature targets documented health outcomes: pain relief, cardiovascular improvement, detoxification, immune support, and better sleep. It differs from standard infrared saunas in that each component is selected based on clinical research.

Product: Medical 5 Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna by Medical Saunas™

Type: Indoor full spectrum infrared sauna for home use

Capacity: 2-3 people

Price range: Check current sale price above

Key fact: Designed by 48 doctors over 10 years. 9 heaters (50% more than the Medical 4). Long enough to lay down inside. Features built-in backrest, color light therapy, 15% thicker glass and wood panels, and 2X faster full spectrum heaters. Requires two 120V outlets (15A + 20A). Built with Canadian hemlock in Los Angeles, CA.

Medical 5 Infrared Sauna: 2-3 Person Full Spectrum, Doctor-Designed

The Medical 5 is the mid-range model in the Medical Sauna Series™. It fits 2-3 people, packs 9 full spectrum heaters (50% more than the Medical 4), and is long enough to lay down inside. It was engineered by 48 doctors, pain specialists, and cardiologists over a decade of research.

This is also where the series steps up in construction: 15% thicker glass and wood panels for better insulation, a built-in backrest for extended sessions, and color light therapy that goes beyond the Medical 4's chromatic system. The trade-off is electrical: the Medical 5 requires two 120V outlets (one 15A, one 20A) instead of a single plug. No 220V wiring needed, but you do need two available circuits.

Doctor Recommended 9 Full Spectrum Heaters Handcrafted in USA 3-Year Warranty 2-3 Person Long Enough to Lay Down Built-in Backrest

Electrical note: The Medical 5 uses two plugs: one 120VAC/15AMP and one 120VAC/20AMP. You need two separate wall outlets on different circuits. A 20A outlet is the wider-slot version common in kitchens and garages. No 220V wiring or electrician is required if you already have both outlet types available. If unsure, check with an electrician before ordering.

Medical 5 vs the model below: What the Upgrade Gets You

The Medical 5 shares all the the model below's therapy systems and adds six features that justify the step up:

9 heaters instead of 6 — 50% more infrared coverage. More heaters means faster heat-up, more uniform temperature, and deeper tissue penetration across a larger body surface area.

Long enough to lay down — The interior width is 57 inches. You can recline fully inside the cabin for yoga stretches, relaxation, or targeted therapy on your back and legs. The the model below is sit-only.

Built-in backrest — Supports your lower back during long sessions. Especially useful for people using the sauna for back pain, sciatica, or post-workout recovery.

15% thicker glass and wood panels — Better insulation means more consistent cabin temperature and lower electricity draw. The sauna holds heat longer between heater cycles.

Full Spectrum Heaters that heat 2X faster — Upgraded heater elements reach operating temperature faster than the the model below's heaters, reducing overall preheat time.

Color Light Therapy — Goes beyond the the model below's chromatic therapy with a broader range of therapeutic wavelengths targeting skin health, mood regulation, and cellular repair.

The trade-off: the Medical 5 needs two wall outlets (15A + 20A) instead of one. If you only have a single standard outlet available, the Medical 4 is your best option on a single plug.

Medical 5 Infrared Sauna Features

Natural Hemlock Wood Construction (15% Thicker)

Built with natural Canadian hemlock in 15% thicker panels than the Medical 3 and 4. Hemlock hardens with age, increasing durability year after year. The thicker panels improve heat retention and reduce energy costs during long sessions. Hemlock's natural astringent properties also enhance skin cleansing during use.

9-Heater Full Spectrum System

Nine heaters positioned around the cabin deliver near-infrared, mid-infrared, and far-infrared wavelengths from every angle. Near-infrared targets skin and surface tissue. Mid-infrared reaches joints and soft tissue. Far-infrared penetrates deepest, raising core body temperature for cardiovascular and detox benefits. The Medical 5's heater elements also use an upgraded design that reaches operating temperature 2X faster than standard full spectrum heaters.

Rapid Internal Heating System™

Reaches full operating temperature in about 40 minutes, compared to 90 minutes to 2 hours for most competing saunas. The 2,600W output across 9 heaters delivers more total thermal power than the the model below's 1,700W across 6. You get faster heat-up, more time in the sauna, and lower energy costs per session.

The Detox Routine™

Sustained full spectrum infrared heat opens pores and drives out toxins accumulated from daily exposure: BPA, heavy metals, phthalates, and nicotine. The Medical 5's 9 heaters cover more body surface area than the smaller models, meaning more pores are activated per session. Consistent daily use following the Detox Routine™ protocol delivers deep detoxification over time.

Built-in Backrest

An integrated backrest supports the lumbar spine during extended sessions. This is a feature the Medical 3 and the model below lack. It makes a noticeable difference for sessions over 20 minutes and for people who specifically use the sauna for back pain or post-exercise recovery.

Safe Cool Down System™

After a session, the cabin's airflow design releases heat gradually. Your body cools at a safe, controlled pace. The thicker insulation panels on the Medical 5 give you a slower, more consistent cool-down compared to thinner-walled models.

Who Is the Medical 5 Infrared Sauna For?

The Medical 5 is the sweet spot between personal use and shared sessions. It fits you if:

  • You want room for 2-3 people, or extra space to lay down solo
  • You value more heater coverage (9 vs 6 in the the model below)
  • You want a built-in backrest for lumbar support during long sessions
  • You prefer thicker insulation for better heat retention and lower energy use
  • You have two available wall outlets (15A + 20A) in the same room
  • You have a space at least 63″ wide and 42″ deep

Only have one outlet? The Medical 4 fits 1-2 people on a single 120V/15A plug. Need room for 3-4 people? The Medical 6 has 11 heaters and the same two-plug setup.

Designed and Built in the USA

Medical Saunas™ are designed, developed, and hand-assembled at the company's Los Angeles factory. The engineering team works directly with medical doctors, cardiologists, and pain specialists at every stage. No outsourced manufacturing. Every unit ships direct from LA.

Backed by Documented Medical Research

Medical Saunas™ only lists health benefits found in published clinical studies. The Medical Sauna Series™ took 10 years to develop with input from 48 medical professionals. Each feature was selected for its measured health impact. Daily full spectrum infrared sauna use has been studied for cardiovascular support, immune function, pain reduction, and whole-body detoxification.

Medical 5 Sauna: Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Medical 5 infrared sauna need special wiring?

Not exactly. It does not need 220V wiring. However, it requires two separate 120V outlets: one standard 15A outlet and one 20A outlet (the wider-slot type common in kitchens and garages). These need to be on different breaker circuits. If you already have both outlet types in the room, no electrician is needed. If not, an electrician can add a 20A outlet relatively inexpensively.

How many people fit in the Medical 5 sauna?

The Medical 5 fits 2-3 people seated. The interior is 57 inches wide, 37 inches deep, and 69 inches tall. It is also long enough for one person to lay down inside, which makes it suitable for yoga stretches, targeted back therapy, or full-body relaxation in a reclined position.

What is the difference between the Medical 4 and Medical 5?

The Medical 5 has 9 heaters vs the the model below's 6 (50% more coverage). It adds a built-in backrest, 15% thicker glass and wood panels, color light therapy, 2X faster full spectrum heater elements, and is long enough to lay down inside. The Medical 5 runs at 2,600W vs 1,700W and requires two 120V outlets (15A + 20A) instead of one. Choose the the model below if you only have one outlet. Choose the Medical 5 if you want more coverage, better insulation, and the ability to recline.

What does "full spectrum" mean in the Medical 5?

Full spectrum means the 9 heaters emit three infrared wavelengths simultaneously: near-infrared (skin and surface tissue), mid-infrared (joints and soft tissue), and far-infrared (core body temperature for cardiovascular and detox benefits). Most budget saunas only produce far-infrared. Full spectrum provides the broadest therapeutic range per session.

How long does the Medical 5 take to heat up?

About 40 minutes. The Medical 5 uses upgraded full spectrum heater elements rated to heat 2X faster than standard elements, and its total 2,600W output across 9 heaters delivers more thermal power than smaller models. Most competing infrared saunas take 90 minutes to 2 hours.

Can I assemble the Medical 5 myself?

Yes. Clasp-together design with no tools required. Two people are strongly recommended since the unit weighs 505 lbs. Professional white glove installation is available at checkout if you prefer not to handle assembly yourself.

How much space do I need for the Medical 5?

The exterior footprint is 63 inches wide (about 5 feet 3 inches), 42 inches deep, and 75 inches tall (6 feet 3 inches). Allow a few extra inches around all sides for airflow and door clearance. It fits in a large spare bedroom, garage, or basement. Ceiling height needs to be at least 6 feet 4 inches.

Can infrared saunas help with endometriosis symptoms?

Some people with endometriosis report that infrared sauna sessions help manage chronic pain and inflammation associated with the condition. Far infrared heat increases blood flow and may reduce pelvic tension. However, clinical evidence specific to endometriosis and infrared sauna use is limited. Consult your OB-GYN or specialist before starting a sauna routine, especially if you are undergoing treatment.

Are infrared saunas safe for cancer patients?

This depends entirely on the individual's condition and treatment plan. Some oncologists recommend gentle infrared sauna use for detox support and pain management during or after treatment. Others advise caution depending on the cancer type, treatment stage, and medications involved. Never use an infrared sauna during active cancer treatment without explicit approval from your oncologist. Medical Saunas recommends discussing sauna use with your cancer care team before starting.

Is the Medical 5 sauna safe for daily use?

Yes. The Medical Sauna Series is designed for daily use. It features low EMF emissions, a Safe Cool Down System for gradual temperature recovery, and adjustable controls. Start with shorter sessions (15-20 minutes) and work up to 30-45 minutes as your body adjusts. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.

The trade-off is electrical: the Medical 5 requires two 120V outlets (one 15A, one 20A) instead of a single plug. No 220V wiring needed, but you do need two available circuits.

Doctor Recommended 9 Full Spectrum Heaters Handcrafted in USA 3-Year Warranty 2-3 Person Long Enough to Lay Down Built-in Backrest

Electrical note: The Medical 5 uses two plugs: one 120VAC/15AMP and one 120VAC/20AMP. You need two separate wall outlets on different circuits. A 20A outlet is the wider-slot version common in kitchens and garages. No 220V wiring or electrician is required if you already have both outlet types available. If unsure, check with an electrician before ordering.

Medical 5 vs the model below: What the Upgrade Gets You

The Medical 5 shares all the the model below's therapy systems and adds six features that justify the step up:

9 heaters instead of 6 — 50% more infrared coverage. More heaters means faster heat-up, more uniform temperature, and deeper tissue penetration across a larger body surface area.

Long enough to lay down — The interior width is 57 inches. You can recline fully inside the cabin for yoga stretches, relaxation, or targeted therapy on your back and legs. The the model below is sit-only.

Built-in backrest — Supports your lower back during long sessions. Especially useful for people using the sauna for back pain, sciatica, or post-workout recovery.

15% thicker glass and wood panels — Better insulation means more consistent cabin temperature and lower electricity draw. The sauna holds heat longer between heater cycles.

Full Spectrum Heaters that heat 2X faster — Upgraded heater elements reach operating temperature faster than the the model below's heaters, reducing overall preheat time.

Color Light Therapy — Goes beyond the the model below's chromatic therapy with a broader range of therapeutic wavelengths targeting skin health, mood regulation, and cellular repair.

The trade-off: the Medical 5 needs two wall outlets (15A + 20A) instead of one. If you only have a single standard outlet available, the Medical 4 is your best option on a single plug.

Medical 5 Infrared Sauna Features

Natural Hemlock Wood Construction (15% Thicker)

Built with natural Canadian hemlock in 15% thicker panels than the Medical 3 and 4. Hemlock hardens with age, increasing durability year after year. The thicker panels improve heat retention and reduce energy costs during long sessions. Hemlock's natural astringent properties also enhance skin cleansing during use.

9-Heater Full Spectrum System

Nine heaters positioned around the cabin deliver near-infrared, mid-infrared, and far-infrared wavelengths from every angle. Near-infrared targets skin and surface tissue. Mid-infrared reaches joints and soft tissue. Far-infrared penetrates deepest, raising core body temperature for cardiovascular and detox benefits. The Medical 5's heater elements also use an upgraded design that reaches operating temperature 2X faster than standard full spectrum heaters.

Rapid Internal Heating System™

Reaches full operating temperature in about 40 minutes, compared to 90 minutes to 2 hours for most competing saunas. The 2,600W output across 9 heaters delivers more total thermal power than the the model below's 1,700W across 6. You get faster heat-up, more time in the sauna, and lower energy costs per session.

The Detox Routine™

Sustained full spectrum infrared heat opens pores and drives out toxins accumulated from daily exposure: BPA, heavy metals, phthalates, and nicotine. The Medical 5's 9 heaters cover more body surface area than the smaller models, meaning more pores are activated per session. Consistent daily use following the Detox Routine™ protocol delivers deep detoxification over time.

Built-in Backrest

An integrated backrest supports the lumbar spine during extended sessions. This is a feature the Medical 3 and the model below lack. It makes a noticeable difference for sessions over 20 minutes and for people who specifically use the sauna for back pain or post-exercise recovery.

Safe Cool Down System™

After a session, the cabin's airflow design releases heat gradually. Your body cools at a safe, controlled pace. The thicker insulation panels on the Medical 5 give you a slower, more consistent cool-down compared to thinner-walled models.

Who Is the Medical 5 Infrared Sauna For?

The Medical 5 is the sweet spot between personal use and shared sessions. It fits you if:

  • You want room for 2-3 people, or extra space to lay down solo
  • You value more heater coverage (9 vs 6 in the the model below)
  • You want a built-in backrest for lumbar support during long sessions
  • You prefer thicker insulation for better heat retention and lower energy use
  • You have two available wall outlets (15A + 20A) in the same room
  • You have a space at least 63″ wide and 42″ deep

Only have one outlet? The Medical 4 fits 1-2 people on a single 120V/15A plug. Need room for 3-4 people? The Medical 6 has 11 heaters and the same two-plug setup.

Designed and Built in the USA

Medical Saunas™ are designed, developed, and hand-assembled at the company's Los Angeles factory. The engineering team works directly with medical doctors, cardiologists, and pain specialists at every stage. No outsourced manufacturing. Every unit ships direct from LA.

Backed by Documented Medical Research

Medical Saunas™ only lists health benefits found in published clinical studies. The Medical Sauna Series™ took 10 years to develop with input from 48 medical professionals. Each feature was selected for its measured health impact. Daily full spectrum infrared sauna use has been studied for cardiovascular support, immune function, pain reduction, and whole-body detoxification.

Medical 5 Sauna: Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Medical 5 infrared sauna need special wiring?

Not exactly. It does not need 220V wiring. However, it requires two separate 120V outlets: one standard 15A outlet and one 20A outlet (the wider-slot type common in kitchens and garages). These need to be on different breaker circuits. If you already have both outlet types in the room, no electrician is needed. If not, an electrician can add a 20A outlet relatively inexpensively.

How many people fit in the Medical 5 sauna?

The Medical 5 fits 2-3 people seated. The interior is 57 inches wide, 37 inches deep, and 69 inches tall. It is also long enough for one person to lay down inside, which makes it suitable for yoga stretches, targeted back therapy, or full-body relaxation in a reclined position.

What is the difference between the Medical 4 and Medical 5?

The Medical 5 has 9 heaters vs the the model below's 6 (50% more coverage). It adds a built-in backrest, 15% thicker glass and wood panels, color light therapy, 2X faster full spectrum heater elements, and is long enough to lay down inside. The Medical 5 runs at 2,600W vs 1,700W and requires two 120V outlets (15A + 20A) instead of one. Choose the the model below if you only have one outlet. Choose the Medical 5 if you want more coverage, better insulation, and the ability to recline.

What does "full spectrum" mean in the Medical 5?

Full spectrum means the 9 heaters emit three infrared wavelengths simultaneously: near-infrared (skin and surface tissue), mid-infrared (joints and soft tissue), and far-infrared (core body temperature for cardiovascular and detox benefits). Most budget saunas only produce far-infrared. Full spectrum provides the broadest therapeutic range per session.

How long does the Medical 5 take to heat up?

About 40 minutes. The Medical 5 uses upgraded full spectrum heater elements rated to heat 2X faster than standard elements, and its total 2,600W output across 9 heaters delivers more thermal power than smaller models. Most competing infrared saunas take 90 minutes to 2 hours.

Can I assemble the Medical 5 myself?

Yes. Clasp-together design with no tools required. Two people are strongly recommended since the unit weighs 505 lbs. Professional white glove installation is available at checkout if you prefer not to handle assembly yourself.

How much space do I need for the Medical 5?

The exterior footprint is 63 inches wide (about 5 feet 3 inches), 42 inches deep, and 75 inches tall (6 feet 3 inches). Allow a few extra inches around all sides for airflow and door clearance. It fits in a large spare bedroom, garage, or basement. Ceiling height needs to be at least 6 feet 4 inches.

Can infrared saunas help with endometriosis symptoms?

Some people with endometriosis report that infrared sauna sessions help manage chronic pain and inflammation associated with the condition. Far infrared heat increases blood flow and may reduce pelvic tension. However, clinical evidence specific to endometriosis and infrared sauna use is limited. Consult your OB-GYN or specialist before starting a sauna routine, especially if you are undergoing treatment.

Are infrared saunas safe for cancer patients?

This depends entirely on the individual's condition and treatment plan. Some oncologists recommend gentle infrared sauna use for detox support and pain management during or after treatment. Others advise caution depending on the cancer type, treatment stage, and medications involved. Never use an infrared sauna during active cancer treatment without explicit approval from your oncologist. Medical Saunas recommends discussing sauna use with your cancer care team before starting.

Is the Medical 5 sauna safe for daily use?

Yes. The Medical Sauna Series is designed for daily use. It features low EMF emissions, a Safe Cool Down System for gradual temperature recovery, and adjustable controls. Start with shorter sessions (15-20 minutes) and work up to 30-45 minutes as your body adjusts. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.

What is a medical sauna?

A medical sauna is an infrared sauna engineered by healthcare professionals for measurable therapeutic benefits. The Medical Sauna Series by Medical Saunas was developed over 10 years with input from 48 doctors. Every feature targets documented health outcomes: pain relief, cardiovascular improvement, detoxification, immune support, and better sleep. It differs from standard infrared saunas in that each component is selected based on clinical research.

Medical 5 Infrared Sauna Features

Natural Hemlock Wood Construction (15% Thicker)

Built with natural Canadian hemlock in 15% thicker panels than the Medical 3 and 4. Hemlock hardens with age, increasing durability year after year. The thicker panels improve heat retention and reduce energy costs during long sessions. Hemlock's natural astringent properties also enhance skin cleansing during use.

Mid-infrared reaches joints and soft tissue. Far-infrared penetrates deepest, raising core body temperature for cardiovascular and detox benefits. The Medical 5's heater elements also use an upgraded design that reaches operating temperature 2X faster than standard full spectrum heaters.

Rapid Internal Heating System™

Reaches full operating temperature in about 40 minutes, compared to 90 minutes to 2 hours for most competing saunas. The 2,600W output across 9 heaters delivers more total thermal power than the the model below's 1,700W across 6. You get faster heat-up, more time in the sauna, and lower energy costs per session.

The Detox Routine™

Sustained full spectrum infrared heat opens pores and drives out toxins accumulated from daily exposure: BPA, heavy metals, phthalates, and nicotine. The Medical 5's 9 heaters cover more body surface area than the smaller models, meaning more pores are activated per session. Consistent daily use following the Detox Routine™ protocol delivers deep detoxification over time.

Built-in Backrest

An integrated backrest supports the lumbar spine during extended sessions. This is a feature the Medical 3 and the model below lack. It makes a noticeable difference for sessions over 20 minutes and for people who specifically use the sauna for back pain or post-exercise recovery.

Safe Cool Down System™

After a session, the cabin's airflow design releases heat gradually. Your body cools at a safe, controlled pace. The thicker insulation panels on the Medical 5 give you a slower, more consistent cool-down compared to thinner-walled models.

Who Is the Medical 5 Infrared Sauna For?

  • You value more heater coverage (9 vs 6 in the the model below)
  • You want a built-in backrest for lumbar support during long sessions
  • You prefer thicker insulation for better heat retention and lower energy use
  • You have two available wall outlets (15A + 20A) in the same room
  • You have a space at least 63″ wide and 42″ deep

Only have one outlet? The Medical 4 fits 1-2 people on a single 120V/15A plug. Need room for 3-4 people? The Medical 6 has 11 heaters and the same two-plug setup.

Medical 5 Sauna: Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Medical 5 infrared sauna need special wiring?

Not exactly. It does not need 220V wiring. However, it requires two separate 120V outlets: one standard 15A outlet and one 20A outlet (the wider-slot type common in kitchens and garages). These need to be on different breaker circuits. If you already have both outlet types in the room, no electrician is needed. If not, an electrician can add a 20A outlet relatively inexpensively.

What is the difference between the Medical 4 and Medical 5?

The Medical 5 has 9 heaters vs the the model below's 6 (50% more coverage). It adds a built-in backrest, 15% thicker glass and wood panels, color light therapy, 2X faster full spectrum heater elements, and is long enough to lay down inside. The Medical 5 runs at 2,600W vs 1,700W and requires two 120V outlets (15A + 20A) instead of one. Choose the the model below if you only have one outlet. Choose the Medical 5 if you want more coverage, better insulation, and the ability to recline.

What does "full spectrum" mean in the Medical 5?

Full spectrum means the 9 heaters emit three infrared wavelengths simultaneously: near-infrared (skin and surface tissue), mid-infrared (joints and soft tissue), and far-infrared (core body temperature for cardiovascular and detox benefits). Most budget saunas only produce far-infrared. Full spectrum provides the broadest therapeutic range per session.

How long does the Medical 5 take to heat up?

About 40 minutes. The Medical 5 uses upgraded full spectrum heater elements rated to heat 2X faster than standard elements, and its total 2,600W output across 9 heaters delivers more thermal power than smaller models. Most competing infrared saunas take 90 minutes to 2 hours.

Can I assemble the Medical 5 myself?

Yes. Clasp-together design with no tools required. Two people are strongly recommended since the unit weighs 505 lbs. Professional white glove installation is available at checkout if you prefer not to handle assembly yourself.

How much space do I need for the Medical 5?

The exterior footprint is 63 inches wide (about 5 feet 3 inches), 42 inches deep, and 75 inches tall (6 feet 3 inches). Allow a few extra inches around all sides for airflow and door clearance.

Can infrared saunas help with endometriosis symptoms?

Some people with endometriosis report that infrared sauna sessions help manage chronic pain and inflammation associated with the condition. Far infrared heat increases blood flow and may reduce pelvic tension. However, clinical evidence specific to endometriosis and infrared sauna use is limited. Consult your OB-GYN or specialist before starting a sauna routine, especially if you are undergoing treatment.

Are infrared saunas safe for cancer patients?

This depends entirely on the individual's condition and treatment plan. Some oncologists recommend gentle infrared sauna use for detox support and pain management during or after treatment. Others advise caution depending on the cancer type, treatment stage, and medications involved. Never use an infrared sauna during active cancer treatment without explicit approval from your oncologist. Medical Saunas recommends discussing sauna use with your cancer care team before starting.

Is the Medical 5 sauna safe for daily use?

Yes. The Medical Sauna Series is designed for daily use. It features low EMF emissions, a Safe Cool Down System for gradual temperature recovery, and adjustable controls. Start with shorter sessions (15-20 minutes) and work up to 30-45 minutes as your body adjusts. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.

What is a medical sauna?

A medical sauna is an infrared sauna engineered by healthcare professionals for measurable therapeutic benefits. The Medical Sauna Series by Medical Saunas was developed over 10 years with input from 48 doctors. Every feature targets documented health outcomes: pain relief, cardiovascular improvement, detoxification, immune support, and better sleep. It differs from standard infrared saunas in that each component is selected based on clinical research.

WARRANTY AT A GLANCE
  • Duration: 3 years from date of receipt
  • Coverage: Defects in materials and workmanship under residential use
  • Parts: Covered under warranty
  • Service / labor costs: Not included in the 3-year warranty
  • Misuse or negligence: Not covered
  • Who to contact: RecovAthlete — 866-861-6317

What the Warranty Covers

The Medical Breakthrough series of massage chairs are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship under typical residential use for a period of three (3) years from the date of receipt by the original end-user consumer.

This is a parts warranty. Replacement parts for covered defects are provided at no charge during the warranty period. Service and labor costs are not included and would be charged separately if a technician visit is required.

What Is Not Covered

NOT COVERED:
  • Damage caused by misuse or negligence
  • Damage from commercial or non-residential use
  • Normal wear over time
  • Damage caused during customer-arranged delivery or setup
  • Service and labor costs — these are billed separately regardless of warranty status

Who This Warranty Applies To

This warranty applies to the original end-user consumer purchasing for personal, residential use. It is non-transferable. Chairs used in commercial environments — health clubs, clinics, spas, or any multi-user setting — are not covered under the residential warranty terms. Contact us at 866-861-6317 before purchasing for commercial use to discuss coverage options.

How to Make a Warranty Claim

If your Medical Breakthrough massage chair develops a defect covered under warranty, follow these steps:

  1. Call RecovAthlete at 866-861-6317 to report the issue
  2. Our team will gather details and diagnose the problem — many issues are resolvable without a parts replacement
  3. If a covered part needs replacing, we will coordinate the claim and delivery of the replacement part
  4. If a technician visit is required, we will advise on the service cost before any work is arranged
IMPORTANT: SERVICE COSTS

The 3-year warranty covers the cost of replacement parts only. If a technician is needed to install parts or diagnose an issue on-site, those service and labor fees are billed separately and are not covered by the warranty. We will always provide a cost estimate before any technician work is scheduled.
