drastically changing the heat and or humidity in your house is going to be a bad experience. You're much better off getting a cheap sauna bag, and using that to heat up. Just your body. Typical sauna temperatures are between 70° c and 90° c.
In a traditional sauna I've melted water bottles and glasses, most things in a kitchen are not designed to get so hot.
This is the first time I've heard of sauna bags, have you used one yourself?
I love a good sauna, but the space, cost, and ventilation don't allow it at home for me.
I have not used the bags, im lucky with access to a dry sauna... but heating a room in a house to 80c seems like a really bad thing to do
Yeah, fair, I agree.
But I'm interested to hear from anyone who has first hand experience of these sauna bags.
Does it feel like a right good 85 degrees with decent humidity proper sauna?
Do they get stinky inside and need very thorough cleaning every time?
