Capacity shortlist
Best 4-person saunas
Compare researched 4-person sauna listings by realistic seating, cabin type, heater inclusion, electrical needs and project cost.
At four people, the difference between listed capacity and comfortable seating can be substantial. Compare the interior, heater space and complete installation rather than the headline alone.
Short answer
Choose an indoor infrared cabin when shared indoor use and simpler placement lead the decision. Choose an outdoor traditional cabin when hotter room air and a larger site project fit the household.
Read the seating plan
Check bench dimensions, corner layout, backrests and heater guard space. Some 4-person listings are more realistic for two or three adults.
Power rises with room size
Larger infrared cabins can require dedicated circuits, while outdoor traditional models commonly move to 240V hardwired heaters. Confirm requirements before ordering.
Compare the delivered project
Weight, freight, unloading, foundation, assembly and electrical work can outweigh a modest difference in listing price.
