An 8 person, wheelchair accessible infrared sauna with Golden Designs' Near Zero EMF panel tier, roomy enough to pull the benches and use it as a yoga space.
The Catalonia is the Elite version of Golden Designs' far infrared line, built with 23 PureTech Near Zero EMF far infrared carbon heating panels that measure under 3 milligauss at 2 to 3 inches away. At 87" wide by 75" deep by 87" tall with an 82" by 70" by 82" interior, it is one of the larger cabins in the lineup, wheelchair accessible, and the 8 portable comfort benches lift out if you want the floor open for stretching or yoga.
Why this model
- 23 Near Zero EMF far infrared carbon panels line the cabin, so heat surrounds you from multiple angles rather than one or two panels.
- EMF stays under 3 milligauss at 2 to 3 inches from the panels, for anyone who wants that reading as low as possible.
- 8 portable comfort benches lift out, turning the same cabin into an open floor space for stretching or yoga.
- Wheelchair accessible layout and a roof vent make it practical for a wider range of users and sessions.
- Interior galaxy star color therapy lighting plus Bluetooth and MP3 audio with built in speakers set the mood for longer sessions.

Fit, power and setup
Reserve close to 7.5 feet by 6.5 feet of floor space and about 87 inches of ceiling height for this cabin. It runs on a dedicated 240V, 30 amp circuit, so a certified electrician needs to be involved before delivery. The wall panels clasp together, and given the size and 9 box shipment, plan on two people and more than the usual hour to fully assemble it. It ships freight with curbside delivery, and the carrier will call to schedule a delivery window.
Good to know
- 8 person capacity and a wheelchair accessible layout suit a shared household sauna or a small group session.
- Near Zero EMF means the panels are built and tested to keep electromagnetic field readings under 3 milligauss at 2 to 3 inches, the lowest tier Golden Designs offers.
- Pulling the 8 comfort benches turns the cabin into an open floor for yoga or stretching between sauna sessions.
- This model needs a dedicated 240V, 30 amp circuit and is for indoor use only, so plan your electrical setup ahead of delivery.
