Product: Commercial 488 Infrared Sauna by Medical Saunas™
Type: Commercial-grade 4-5 person infrared sauna with Red Light Therapy and Android Tablet
Capacity: 4-5 people (or 2 laying down with stadium seating)
Price range: Check current sale price above
Key fact: The "Group Therapy Sanctuary." 15 Ultra Full Spectrum infrared heaters at 4,750W with individual on/off switches. Built-in Red Light Therapy, Chromatic Therapy, and the world's first heat-resistant Android tablet. Double capacity stadium seating with 500-lb rated backrests. 36″ wide door with 4 heavy-duty hinges. 4D Surround Heat Therapy™ + Omni-Directional Heating™. 2x4 fortified framing, 10X reinforced floors, 3X hemlock walls. 240V/30A. ~837 lbs. Endorsed by 48 doctors. Hand-assembled in Los Angeles, CA.
The Commercial 488 is the model where the Commercial Series becomes a full group therapy experience. It seats 4-5 people on double capacity stadium seating, runs 15 full spectrum infrared heaters at 4,750W with individual on/off switches, and introduces the world's first heat-resistant Android tablet built into the cabin. It carries everything from the Commercial 487 (Red Light Therapy, Chromatic Therapy, gym-grade benches) and adds features shared only with the flagship 489: the Android tablet, 36-inch-wide 4-hinged commercial door, and 500-lb rated backrests.
For wellness facilities, spas, and gyms that need 4-5 person capacity without the 9-by-9-foot footprint and 50A electrical of the 489, the 488 is the practical sweet spot. It delivers every premium therapy feature on a 240V/30A circuit at roughly half the price and weight of the flagship.
Electrical requirement: 240V/30A hardwired. A licensed electrician must install a dedicated 240V/30A circuit. This sits between the Commercial 487 (240V/20A) and the flagship 489 (240V/50A). Standard dryer-type circuit. Typical installation cost: $300-$700.

The 488 carries everything from the 487 and adds six upgrades that transform it from a 3-person therapy unit into a full group experience:
Heat-Resistant Android Tablet (patent-pending) — Built into the cabin, designed to operate at sauna temperatures. Clients stream Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, or music without damaging personal devices. Keeps clients in the sauna longer (30-60 minutes vs 10), which improves outcomes and per-session revenue. Not available on the 485, 486, or 487.
36″ wide door with 4 heavy-duty hinges — Standard saunas use 22″ doors with 2 hinges. The 488 and 489 use a 36″ opening with 4 commercial-grade hinges. Easier client flow, wheelchair-friendlier entry (though not ADA-certified like the 489), and a door that handles thousands of daily open/close cycles without failure.
500-lb rated backrests — Reinforced to support clients up to 500 lbs per seat. The 487 and below use standard commercial backrests. The 488 and 489 are built for the heaviest commercial users.
15 heaters at 4,750W (vs 11 at 3,450W) — 38% more heating power with 4 additional infrared panels across the wider cabin. Faster heat-up, fuller body coverage for 4-5 simultaneous users.
4-5 person capacity (vs 3) — Double capacity stadium seating allows group sessions, team recovery, or couples + friends sessions.
Individual heater on/off switches — Turn off heaters in unused zones to conserve energy or customize heat distribution. Only available on the 488 and 489.
The double capacity stadium seating configures two ways. In group mode, 4-5 adults sit on two bench tiers with the upper deck running hotter (closer to ceiling) and the lower deck milder. In therapy mode, remove benches so 2 adults can lay flat for extended treatment sessions. This flexibility lets your facility run group classes during peak hours and individual therapy sessions during off-peak.
The 500-lb rated backrests mean you don't turn away larger clients. The 31-inch ergonomic design provides full spinal support across body types. Every seat gets equal infrared and Red Light Therapy coverage thanks to the 15-heater layout and 4D Surround Heat distribution.
Personal phones overheat and get damaged inside saunas. The Commercial 488 solves this with a patent-pending heat-resistant Android tablet built into the cabin. Clients can stream video, play music, or browse during sessions without risking their devices. For commercial operators, this is a retention tool: a 10-minute session produces less therapeutic value than a 30-60 minute session. The tablet gives clients a reason to stay. Longer sessions mean better outcomes and higher per-visit revenue.
Need only 3 people? The Commercial 487 has 11 heaters on 240V/20A. Need 6-9 people with full ADA compliance? The Commercial 489 is the flagship with 23 heaters, wheelchair ramp, and 240V/50A.
Outfitting a spa, gym, or wellness facility with group infrared therapy?
The Commercial 488 is the sweet spot for 4-5 person commercial use. It delivers every premium feature (Android tablet, Red Light, stadium seating, individual heater control) without the 9x9-foot footprint and 50A electrical of the 489. RecovAthlete offers wholesale pricing, multi-unit orders, and installation guidance.

The 487 seats 3 with 11 heaters on 240V/20A. The 488 seats 4-5 with 15 heaters, Android tablet, 36-inch 4-hinge door, 500-lb backrests, and individual heater switches on 240V/30A. The 489 seats 6-9 with 23 heaters, ADA wheelchair ramp, and campfire seating on 240V/50A. The 488 is the practical middle ground: full premium features without the footprint and electrical demands of the 489.
Yes. The Commercial 488 includes the world's first heat-resistant Android tablet (patent-pending), built to operate at sauna temperatures. Clients can stream Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, and music without damaging personal devices. This feature is only available on the 488 and 489. The 485, 486, and 487 do not have it.
Yes. The Commercial 488 requires a 240V/30A hardwired circuit installed by a licensed electrician. This is a standard dryer-type circuit, sitting between the 487's 20A and the 489's 50A requirements. Typical cost: $300-$700.
4-5 people on the double capacity stadium seating. Alternatively, 2 people can lay down flat with some benches removed. The 500-lb rated backrests accommodate clients of all sizes. The 36-inch-wide door provides easy entry and exit for everyone.
Yes. Built-in Red Light Therapy panels are integrated into the cabin and operate automatically during sessions. Combined with 15 full spectrum infrared heaters and Chromatic Therapy, the 488 delivers three modalities simultaneously. This is available on the 487, 488, and 489 but not the 485 or 486.
Yes. Each of the 15 heaters has its own on/off switch. Turn off heaters in empty zones to save energy, create custom heat patterns for specific therapy protocols, or reduce intensity on one side of the cabin. This level of control is only on the 488 and 489.
The 488 has a 36-inch-wide door which exceeds ADA door width minimums, but it does not include the wheelchair ramp or 60-inch turning radius required for full ADA compliance. For full ADA-compliant design with ramp and turning radius, see the Commercial 489.
Yes. The 488 has gym-grade reinforced benches, 500-lb rated backrests, 10X reinforced floors, 4-hinged commercial door, and individual heater control. The 4-5 person capacity handles small group recovery sessions during peak hours. The Android tablet keeps members engaged during longer sessions.
Standard saunas use 22-inch doors with 2 hinges. The Commercial 488 has a 36-inch-wide opening with 4 heavy-duty commercial hinges. The wider opening makes entry and exit easier for all body types and reduces congestion during group sessions. The 4 hinges prevent door sag and failure from thousands of daily open/close cycles in commercial settings.
No. The Commercial 488 is infrared with Red Light Therapy and Chromatic Therapy. It uses 15 Ultra Full Spectrum infrared heaters. It does not produce steam. For a commercial steam sauna, see the Traditional 7 or Traditional 8 Plus.
Mid-Size Gyms and Fitness Centers
4-5 person group sessions with stadium seating that doubles effective capacity. The Android tablet keeps clients engaged longer, increasing per-session value and retention.
Wellness Centers with Group Therapy Programs
Run small group infrared classes as a core offering. 36-inch door handles foot traffic. 4-hinge commercial door built for thousands of daily open/close cycles.
Boutique Recovery Studios
Premium group recovery sessions as your signature service. Tablet control lets clients customize temperature and entertainment. Stadium seating handles couples or small groups.
Hotel and Resort Spa Facilities
Guest-facing sauna experience with built-in entertainment. Professional appearance with commercial-grade durability. 4-5 person capacity fits resort wellness programming.
Not ideal for facilities needing full ADA wheelchair accessibility or 6+ person capacity. For ADA compliance and campfire-style group seating, see the Commercial 489.

The 488 carries everything from the 487 and adds six upgrades that transform it from a 3-person therapy unit into a full group experience:
Heat-Resistant Android Tablet (patent-pending) — Built into the cabin, designed to operate at sauna temperatures. Clients stream Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, or music without damaging personal devices. Keeps clients in the sauna longer (30-60 minutes vs 10), which improves outcomes and per-session revenue. Not available on the 485, 486, or 487.
36″ wide door with 4 heavy-duty hinges — Standard saunas use 22″ doors with 2 hinges. The 488 and 489 use a 36″ opening with 4 commercial-grade hinges. Easier client flow, wheelchair-friendlier entry (though not ADA-certified like the 489), and a door that handles thousands of daily open/close cycles without failure.
500-lb rated backrests — Reinforced to support clients up to 500 lbs per seat. The 487 and below use standard commercial backrests. The 488 and 489 are built for the heaviest commercial users.
15 heaters at 4,750W (vs 11 at 3,450W) — 38% more heating power with 4 additional infrared panels across the wider cabin. Faster heat-up, fuller body coverage for 4-5 simultaneous users.
4-5 person capacity (vs 3) — Double capacity stadium seating allows group sessions, team recovery, or couples + friends sessions.
Individual heater on/off switches — Turn off heaters in unused zones to conserve energy or customize heat distribution. Only available on the 488 and 489.
The double capacity stadium seating configures two ways. In group mode, 4-5 adults sit on two bench tiers with the upper deck running hotter (closer to ceiling) and the lower deck milder. In therapy mode, remove benches so 2 adults can lay flat for extended treatment sessions. This flexibility lets your facility run group classes during peak hours and individual therapy sessions during off-peak.
The 500-lb rated backrests mean you don't turn away larger clients. The 31-inch ergonomic design provides full spinal support across body types. Every seat gets equal infrared and Red Light Therapy coverage thanks to the 15-heater layout and 4D Surround Heat distribution.
Personal phones overheat and get damaged inside saunas. The Commercial 488 solves this with a patent-pending heat-resistant Android tablet built into the cabin. Clients can stream video, play music, or browse during sessions without risking their devices. For commercial operators, this is a retention tool: a 10-minute session produces less therapeutic value than a 30-60 minute session. The tablet gives clients a reason to stay. Longer sessions mean better outcomes and higher per-visit revenue.
Need only 3 people? The Commercial 487 has 11 heaters on 240V/20A. Need 6-9 people with full ADA compliance? The Commercial 489 is the flagship with 23 heaters, wheelchair ramp, and 240V/50A.

The Commercial 488 is the sweet spot for 4-5 person commercial use. It delivers every premium feature (Android tablet, Red Light, stadium seating, individual heater control) without the 9x9-foot footprint and 50A electrical of the 489. RecovAthlete offers wholesale pricing, multi-unit orders, and installation guidance.

The 487 seats 3 with 11 heaters on 240V/20A. The 488 seats 4-5 with 15 heaters, Android tablet, 36-inch 4-hinge door, 500-lb backrests, and individual heater switches on 240V/30A. The 489 seats 6-9 with 23 heaters, ADA wheelchair ramp, and campfire seating on 240V/50A. The 488 is the practical middle ground: full premium features without the footprint and electrical demands of the 489.
Yes. The Commercial 488 includes the world's first heat-resistant Android tablet (patent-pending), built to operate at sauna temperatures. Clients can stream Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, and music without damaging personal devices. This feature is only available on the 488 and 489. The 485, 486, and 487 do not have it.
Yes. The Commercial 488 requires a 240V/30A hardwired circuit installed by a licensed electrician. This is a standard dryer-type circuit, sitting between the 487's 20A and the 489's 50A requirements. Typical cost: $300-$700.
4-5 people on the double capacity stadium seating. Alternatively, 2 people can lay down flat with some benches removed. The 500-lb rated backrests accommodate clients of all sizes. The 36-inch-wide door provides easy entry and exit for everyone.
Yes. Built-in Red Light Therapy panels are integrated into the cabin and operate automatically during sessions. Combined with 15 full spectrum infrared heaters and Chromatic Therapy, the 488 delivers three modalities simultaneously. This is available on the 487, 488, and 489 but not the 485 or 486.
Yes. Each of the 15 heaters has its own on/off switch. Turn off heaters in empty zones to save energy, create custom heat patterns for specific therapy protocols, or reduce intensity on one side of the cabin. This level of control is only on the 488 and 489.
The 488 has a 36-inch-wide door which exceeds ADA door width minimums, but it does not include the wheelchair ramp or 60-inch turning radius required for full ADA compliance. For full ADA-compliant design with ramp and turning radius, see the Commercial 489.
Yes. The 488 has gym-grade reinforced benches, 500-lb rated backrests, 10X reinforced floors, 4-hinged commercial door, and individual heater control. The 4-5 person capacity handles small group recovery sessions during peak hours. The Android tablet keeps members engaged during longer sessions.
Standard saunas use 22-inch doors with 2 hinges. The Commercial 488 has a 36-inch-wide opening with 4 heavy-duty commercial hinges. The wider opening makes entry and exit easier for all body types and reduces congestion during group sessions. The 4 hinges prevent door sag and failure from thousands of daily open/close cycles in commercial settings.
No. The Commercial 488 is infrared with Red Light Therapy and Chromatic Therapy. It uses 15 Ultra Full Spectrum infrared heaters. It does not produce steam. For a commercial steam sauna, see the Traditional 7 or Traditional 8 Plus.
Mid-Size Gyms and Fitness Centers
4-5 person group sessions with stadium seating that doubles effective capacity. The Android tablet keeps clients engaged longer, increasing per-session value and retention.
Wellness Centers with Group Therapy Programs
Run small group infrared classes as a core offering. 36-inch door handles foot traffic. 4-hinge commercial door built for thousands of daily open/close cycles.
Boutique Recovery Studios
Premium group recovery sessions as your signature service. Tablet control lets clients customize temperature and entertainment. Stadium seating handles couples or small groups.
Hotel and Resort Spa Facilities
Guest-facing sauna experience with built-in entertainment. Professional appearance with commercial-grade durability. 4-5 person capacity fits resort wellness programming.
Not ideal for facilities needing full ADA wheelchair accessibility or 6+ person capacity. For ADA compliance and campfire-style group seating, see the Commercial 489.

Individual heater on/off switches — Turn off heaters in unused zones to conserve energy or customize heat distribution. Only available on the 488 and 489.
The double capacity stadium seating configures two ways. In group mode, 4-5 adults sit on two bench tiers with the upper deck running hotter (closer to ceiling) and the lower deck milder. In therapy mode, remove benches so 2 adults can lay flat for extended treatment sessions. This flexibility lets your facility run group classes during peak hours and individual therapy sessions during off-peak.
The 500-lb rated backrests mean you don't turn away larger clients. The 31-inch ergonomic design provides full spinal support across body types. Every seat gets equal infrared and Red Light Therapy coverage thanks to the 15-heater layout and 4D Surround Heat distribution.
Personal phones overheat and get damaged inside saunas. The Commercial 488 solves this with a patent-pending heat-resistant Android tablet built into the cabin. Clients can stream video, play music, or browse during sessions without risking their devices. For commercial operators, this is a retention tool: a 10-minute session produces less therapeutic value than a 30-60 minute session. The tablet gives clients a reason to stay. Longer sessions mean better outcomes and higher per-visit revenue.
Need only 3 people? The Commercial 487 has 11 heaters on 240V/20A. Need 6-9 people with full ADA compliance? The Commercial 489 is the flagship with 23 heaters, wheelchair ramp, and 240V/50A.

It delivers every premium feature (Android tablet, Red Light, stadium seating, individual heater control) without the 9x9-foot footprint and 50A electrical of the 489. RecovAthlete offers wholesale pricing, multi-unit orders, and installation guidance.

Yes. The Commercial 488 requires a 240V/30A hardwired circuit installed by a licensed electrician. This is a standard dryer-type circuit, sitting between the 487's 20A and the 489's 50A requirements. Typical cost: $300-$700.

The 488 has a 36-inch-wide door which exceeds ADA door width minimums, but it does not include the wheelchair ramp or 60-inch turning radius required for full ADA compliance. For full ADA-compliant design with ramp and turning radius, see the Commercial 489.

Standard saunas use 22-inch doors with 2 hinges. The Commercial 488 has a 36-inch-wide opening with 4 heavy-duty commercial hinges. The wider opening makes entry and exit easier for all body types and reduces congestion during group sessions. The 4 hinges prevent door sag and failure from thousands of daily open/close cycles in commercial settings.

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