Product Description

Introducing the Nebula, a Scandinavian-crafted sauna that elevates your outdoor wellness experience with its timeless design and superior functionality. This cabin-style sauna, meticulously constructed for self-assembly, embodies the perfect blend of craftsmanship and convenience. Ideal for 3-4 bathers , the Nebula creates a cozy yet spacious retreat for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Thermowood® is central to the construction of Nebula, providing exceptional strength, sustainability, and aesthetic appeal. Subjected to a specialized heating process in a controlled environment, Thermowood® undergoes a natural transformation that improves its ability to withstand moisture, rot, and distortion, all without the need for harmful chemicals. The end result is a material that boasts superior insulation and durability, lasting twice as long as unprocessed wood. With its eco-friendly nature, Thermowood® is the ideal choice for outdoor saunas.

Both the interior and exterior of the Nebula showcase the warm, rich tones and smooth finish of Thermowood®, which brings a modern yet organic aesthetic to your backyard. The material’s superior insulation properties ensure that the sauna heats efficiently and maintains a consistent, comfortable temperature, even in cold weather. Inside, Thermowood® two-tier benches provide a flexible and ergonomic seating arrangement, creating a comfortable environment for relaxation and health benefits.

The interior dimensions of approximately 83.5" (W) x 64.8" (D) x 77.9" (H) offer ample space, while subtle design touches like variations at the benches (75.6") and window areas (80.2") enhance the sauna’s overall character. With its exterior dimensions measuring 88.1" (W) x 69.4" (D) x 87.4" (H), the Nebula is compact enough to fit most outdoor spaces yet spacious enough to provide a luxurious experience. The sauna features two large, dark grey-tinted windows (27.2" x 73.2") and a matching door, flooding the interior with natural light while maintaining privacy.

Designed with sustainability and performance in mind, Thermowood® is the ideal material for a sauna built to last. Its resistance to extreme temperatures and environmental elements ensures the Nebula will remain a treasured retreat for years to come. Whether you’re embracing a crisp winter day or basking in the summer sun, the Nebula’s Thermowood® construction keeps your sauna experience at its best.

Delivered with compact packaging for easy shipping and assembly, the Nebula measures approximately 92.5" x 47.2" x 49.2" and weighs 1,653 lbs. It’s the perfect project for DIY enthusiasts, offering both ease of assembly and a rewarding result. The Nebula is more than a sauna—it’s a Scandinavian sanctuary, expertly designed with the planet and your well-being in mind.

TOULE

Toule 6 kW Sauna Heater w/ On-Heater Controls

Available in 6 kW & 9 kW Models: $786 – $949 CAD

For the price point vs quality, it doesn't get much better than this! This heater is the best bang for your buck both in its reliability and the features of this specific model (off-board digital controls, timers, etc.).

Pros Cons
  • Auxiliary output controls for lights, fans etc.
  • Delayed Start Feature
  • CETL safety listed
  • Digital controller
  • Offered at a steep discount when purchased with a Backcountry sauna.
  • Not the most "attractive"

HARVIA KIP

Harvia KIP 8 kW Electric Sauna Heater

Available in 6 kW & 8 kW Models: $1 199 – $1 399 CAD

Harvia has been the biggest name in sauna heaters for over 70 years! The Harvia FLB model, made by Harvia in Finland, is a traditional Finnish-style wall-mounted sauna heater. What this one lacks in special and aesthetic features; it makes up for in heat and getting the job done.

Pros Cons
  • Extremely reliable
  • Easy to use
  • Great for rental units or Airbnb
  • Durable stainless-steel components
  • ETL / CSA safety listed
  • Expensive for so few features
  • No remote control

Harvia Cilindro

Harvia Cilindro PC90 Heater

The Harvia Cilindro heater, known for its unique design featuring a massive stone quantity, offers a blend of gentle and powerful steam options. It's ideal for those seeking a versatile sauna experience, capable of creating a traditional sauna atmosphere with the convenience of electric heating.

Pros Cons
  • Large stone capacity enhances the sauna experience with gentle or intense steam.
  • Stylish design with visible stones at the front, adding aesthetic appeal to any sauna.
  • The pillar form allows for freedom in sauna design and easy embedding into the bench.
  • Stainless steel construction ensures durability and longevity.
  • Optional Wifi Control for ease of use with the digital Harvia Xenio control panel.
  • ETL / CSA safety listed
  • Stones must be purchased separately, adding to the overall cost.

HUUM HIVE CLIFF

HUUM Cliff Electric Sauna Heater

Available in 6 kW, 9 kW, or 10.5 kW Models

Want a lot of thermal mass but still have a quicker heat-up time? That’s exactly what the HUUM CLIFF delivers. Its tall, open column exposes every stone directly to the elements, so the 165 lb rock load races to temperature faster than bulkier heaters with even more stone. The result is a rich, wood-fired feel powered by clean, reliable electricity—with far less waiting around before you step inside. Sleek, sculptural, and space-saving, the CLIFF turns your sauna wall into an eye-catching accent while surrounding you in deep, lingering warmth.

Pros Cons
  • Wifi & Local Controller
  • Faster heat up when compared to the Hive Mini
  • Large amount of thermal mass (rocks)
  • Looks fantastic
  • Auxiliary controls for fans, lights, etc.
  • Certified to CSA/UL and CE standards
  • Can require some troubleshooting

HUUM HIVE MINI

HUUM Hive Mini Electric Sauna Heater

Available in 6 kW, 9 kW, or 10.5 kW Models

These are one of our best sellers! The HUUM line of products offers a more traditional sauna experience by limiting metal and increasing total rock surface area. This provides a closer wood-fired experience with the reliability of electricity. Many of our customers prefer the design of the HUUM as it is an accent piece against the backdrop of your high-quality wood sauna.

Pros Cons
  • Wifi & Local Controller
  • HUGE amount of thermal mass = better quality heat.
  • Looks fantastic
  • Auxiliary controls for fans, lights, etc.
  • Certified to CSA/UL and CE standards
  • Can require some troubleshooting
  • Longer heat up times (but you have Wi-Fi)

HUUM DROP

HUUM DROP Electric Sauna Heater

Available in 6 kW and 9 kW Models

Very similar to the HUUM Hive and HUUM Hive Mini. The HUUM Drop offers a round design that softens and livens up the angular interior of a classic sauna, giving it a touch of elegance. But DROP isn’t only about the looks. This compact wall-mounted heater can actually fit up to 55 kg of stones, exceeding most wood-burning stoves and guaranteeing long-lasting steam.

Pros Cons
  • Wifi & Local Controller
  • HUGE amount of thermal mass (rocks)
  • Looks fantastic
  • Auxiliary controls for fans, lights, etc.
  • Certified to CSA/UL and CE standards
  • Can require some troubleshooting
