Sweat Kingdom The Ridge vs other 2-person cabins
Pick the Ridge if you want flat walls and a tall 12 × 68 in window in a 2-person cabin. It costs $7,145 with a Harvia 6 kW heater. Its 82 in interior height ties the Summit Small, which is 5 in wider inside. The Sweat Pod Regular is $1,100 cheaper and smaller inside, and the Summit Small sits in between on price with a bigger 8 kW heater. All four are traditional saunas. None is infrared.
