Infrared cabins are plentiful nowadays. This can be both a blessing and a curse.
On the one hand, as a consumer, you enjoy a large selection of different products; on the other hand, it can make buying an infrared cabin more difficult.
Of course, there are indicators, such as the infrared cabins tested by Stiftung Warentest. Nevertheless, it is not always easy for interested parties to make a decision.
To make purchasing your infrared cabin a little easier, we at Clearlight compare our products with those of other manufacturers.
To make a fair comparison, we look for similar infrared cabins from both providers. This way, we can crown the best infrared sauna.
All the facts about infrared cabins at a glance
For the infrared cabin comparison, we used two equivalent products from both manufacturers.
In the case of Clearlight, this is the Sanctuary Full Spectrum Infrared Cabin for 2 people. For HomeDeluxe, we took a closer look at the Redsun M Infrared Cabin for 1-2 people.

The Variety of HomeDeluxe
In addition to some physical stores in Germany, HomeDeluxe also offers an extensive website. The e-commerce service sells not only infrared cabins but also numerous other products.
Here you can find, for example, various pieces of furniture, whirlpools, saunas, as well as wall cladding, air conditioners, or doors.
The home all-rounder has 20 infrared cabins for sale, marked with sizes S, M, L, and XL. S is recommended for 1 person and XL for up to 3 people.
All infrared cabins come with a built-in car radio with a USB port and an ionizer*. Selected products also have integrated Bluetooth and the option for light therapy.
The selection of extras for infrared cabins and saunas at HomeDeluxe is also impressive.
For example, there are extra infrared heaters and full spectrum heaters. This means you could turn the HomeDeluxe Redsun M into an infrared sauna with full spectrum heaters.
Other available extensions for your HomeDeluxe Redsun M infrared cabin with full spectrum heaters are:
- Bathrobes and towels
- Ergonomic backrests
- Neck rests
- Scent plates for the integrated ionizer
*HomeDeluxe ionizers work with ozone. On this topic, we recommend reading up in detail and discussing any questions directly with customer service.
Prices and Quality of HomeDeluxe Infrared Cabins
If you are considering buying a heat cabin, you should remember that the price also reflects the quality of the product.
At HomeDeluxe, small 1-person infrared cabins are available from about €1,500. This price may be tempting, but it also indicates that the product may not have a long lifespan or optimal functionality in the long run.
HomeDeluxe provides no information about the glues and varnishes used. If these are of inferior quality, they can release unpleasant odors or even harmful substances at high temperatures.
Furthermore, all HomeDeluxe infrared cabins only come with the 2-year statutory warranty. However, there is no guarantee.
A guarantee is a voluntary service provided by a manufacturer, while a warranty is a legally regulated provision and thus usually includes less goodwill and service than a guarantee.
HomeDeluxe also provides little information about the heater technology. Therefore, before making a purchase decision, you should contact customer service and clarify any questions regarding the heating technology.
The Clearlight Infrared Cabins at a Glance
Clearlight infrared cabins stand for elegance, comfort, luxury, and durability. Unlike HomeDeluxe, Clearlight specializes exclusively in the manufacture of infrared cabins.
However, the product range is in no way inferior to that of HomeDeluxe. On the Clearlight website, in addition to an extensive blog, various tips and studies on infrared and extensions, you will also find various models of heat cabins.
These can be divided into 3 main categories:
- Sanctuary Infrared Cabins
- Premier Infrared Cabins
- Essential Infrared Cabins
All models in these categories are available for 1 to a maximum of 4 people. While the 1-person models are primarily intended for smaller spaces, yoga can even be practiced in the sauna in the larger heat cabins.
In addition, there is a DIY kit with which you can assemble your own individual infrared cabin with all your wishes and requirements.
Clearlight also offers an outdoor infrared cabin, which withstands all weather conditions thanks to the robust Cedartec® exterior walls.
For those who don't have space for an infrared cabin, Clearlight also offers a mobile infrared sauna. This is particularly space-saving and can be easily set up and dismantled.
Except for the mobile infrared sauna, all models feature a built-in stereo sound system, USB and AUX ports, as well as Bluetooth and app functionality with remote activation.
If desired, you can expand your Clearlight infrared sauna even further. You will find several additional options on the website. With these, you can turn your infrared cabin into a 360° health system.
- Color light therapy
- Vibrational resonance therapy
- Additional full spectrum heater
- Ergonomic backrest
- Red light tower for red light therapy
- HaloOne® salt inhalation
All Clearlight products have one thing in common. They combine state-of-the-art technology with stylish design, the highest quality, and maximum comfort.
The quality of Clearlight infrared cabins is unique and is reflected in the warranty service.
Unlike HomeDeluxe, Clearlight offers a lifetime warranty on all infrared saunas purchased for private use.
And even for commercial use, you have a 5-year warranty on all Clearlight infrared cabins.
Infrared Cabins with the Best Technology
The best infrared cabin naturally also comes with the best technology. That's why all Clearlight products use the innovative True Wave™ technology.
This combines the efficiency of carbon heaters and the power of ceramic heaters in a hybrid infrared heater. To guarantee the highest possible thermal emissivity and performance, micro-thin carbon fibers and a patented micro-fine ceramic blend are used.
These hybrid heaters are available in 2 versions:
- True Wave™ far infrared heaters, which are the central heating elements in all infrared cabins.
- True Wave™ full spectrum heaters, which are used in all Sanctuary™ models for additional therapeutic benefits.
To enjoy the full effect of infrared, the infrared heaters in all heat cabins are arranged in such a way that, in addition to maximum legroom, a 360° heat supply is also ensured.
As if that weren't enough, Clearlight also ensures an experience with as little electrosmog as possible in the infrared cabin.
Electrosmog is a colloquial term that refers to electromagnetic frequencies (EMF) and extremely low frequencies (ELF). Although these frequencies probably pose no great danger, it has been found that they can have a negative impact on human health.
For this reason, the experts at Clearlight have made it their mission to provide an experience with as little EMF and ELF as possible.
Thus, Clearlight's True Wave™ far infrared and full spectrum infrared heaters have by far the lowest EMF and ELF values on the market. So you can fully enjoy your wellness experience.
The Prices of Clearlight Infrared Cabins
With its luxurious product variety, Clearlight is one of the high-end providers among infrared cabin manufacturers. This is reflected in both the price and the quality.
Therefore, the initial price of a Clearlight infrared cabin is also higher than some other brands.
Clearlight infrared cabins cost between €3,000 and €10,000, with the price depending on the size, model, and equipment. If you opt for extensions to your Clearlight infrared sauna, the price will of course increase accordingly.
You should not forget that all products come with a lifetime warranty for private use. This means that, after you buy a Clearlight infrared cabin, there will generally be no further costs in the coming years.
So you don't have to worry about repair or maintenance costs. This also puts the higher purchase price into perspective, as you can expect no further costs during the use of your infrared sauna (excluding electricity costs).
Apart from that, with Clearlight products, you are opting for unique heater technology with extremely low EMF and ELF values, as well as certified, high-quality materials.
For more detailed information on the costs of individual models, it is best to contact Clearlight's expert team. In addition to detailed information regarding the price, you will also receive intensive advice on infrared cabins.
This is Germany's Best Infrared Cabin
HomeDeluxe and Clearlight are two well-known and popular providers of infrared cabins.
While both have launched numerous products on the market, there are still some clear differences between their infrared cabins.
While Clearlight places the highest value on transparency and discloses all information to customers regarding the technology, materials, health benefits, warranty, and innovation of infrared cabins, HomeDeluxe approaches this very differently.
Despite a beautifully prepared website, this provider offers hardly any information on the details of the products. Therefore, before making a purchase decision, you should contact customer service and clarify any open issues.
If you are considering buying an infrared sauna, we therefore recommend questioning everything in personal conversations with trained staff and asking for detailed information.
Finally, we hope that this comparison helps you make an informed decision and find the right infrared sauna for your home.
