The HotBox 1 Black is a black indoor infrared sauna for one, finished in a deep contemporary matt black for spaces where a natural timber cabin would look out of place. Underneath the finish it is the same fully insulated Canadian Hemlock build as our natural model, so you get spa-grade performance at a fraction of the cost of a commercial installation, in a look that suits modern interiors, garden rooms and higher-end home gyms.
Why choose a black indoor infrared sauna
Infrared saunas warm the body directly rather than heating the air around you, so sessions feel comfortable at a lower cabin temperature and are far easier to sit through than a traditional steam room. The HotBox 1 Black uses six infrared heaters plus a dedicated carbon floor heater to spread warmth evenly from every side, including underfoot, which is where most single-seat cabins fall short.
The darker finish also does something useful beyond looks. Combined with the rear Himalayan salt brick panel and its integrated LED backlight, the black interior makes the lighting the main feature of the cabin, which suits people who use their sauna to wind down at the end of the day. Each heater has an independent power switch, and the built-in Bluetooth audio system keeps your music, podcast or guided session playing throughout.

Installation, power and space
The cabin arrives flat-packed and is designed for straightforward self-assembly, with no plumbing and no hard wiring involved. It runs from a standard 13 AMP domestic socket, so in most homes it is genuinely plug in and go. Assembled it measures 100 x 90 x 190 cm, so allow a little clearance around the cabin for airflow and access when you are planning the space.

Frequently asked questions
Is the black version a different sauna?

How many people does it seat?
It is a 1 person cabin. If you want room for two, the HotBox 2 Black gives you a wider 130 x 100 cm cabin and an extra infrared heater.
Does it need special wiring?
No. It runs from a standard 13 AMP domestic socket, so no dedicated circuit or hard wiring is required in most homes.
