Sauna Accessories

Filters

The sauna originated in Finland. There, going into the sauna is a big part of everyday life, a custom that has existed for thousands of years. As early as prehistoric times, people retreated into caves to sweat. Since then, many rituals surrounding the sauna have developed, which we still see in today's sauna traditions and associated accessories. These sauna accessories, and all the other products you need for the ultimate sauna experience, shop online at Pool.shop.

What are the most important sauna accessories?

Although you will basically have enough with the heating options that a regular electric sauna is equipped with, you could turn your sauna into a veritable spa with the right accessories. Here you can think of the following:

Sauna buckets

The sauna bucket is a very versatile sauna accessory that can be used for multiple purposes. First, you can prepare water in it, which you pour over the glowing sauna stones during your sauna experience to generate additional steam. When you are not in the sauna, you can also easily store the sauna stones in the sauna bucket. By the way, did you know that authentic Finnish names exist for most sauna accessories? For example, the sauna bucket is called the kiulu in Finnish!

Sauna spoons

Without sauna spoon you have little use for your sauna bucket, so this is another accessory that should not be missing from your assortment! The sauna spoon is the accessory you use to scoop water from your sauna bucket to throw on the coals or sauna stones. In Finnish, the sauna spoon is called the kauha or the kuuppa, depending on the dialect and region.

Sauna stones

The third sauna accessory you cannot do without to create the perfect steam involves the sauna stones. These stones are placed on the sauna oven and heated. When the water comes into contact with them, they evaporate almost immediately, allowing you to bathe in a wonderful cloud of steam. Matching the Finnish word for sauna oven (kiuas), sauna stones are called kiuaskivet in Finnish.

Vapor Stones

Vapor Stones differ from sauna stones in that these stones are designed to store moisture. When you pour on water, it is collected in the vapor stones. It then begins to evaporate evenly, allowing you to enjoy less violent steam for longer periods of time.

Dried birch branches

A final typical Finnish sauna accessory is the bundle of dried birch branches, originally called vihta or vasta. The vihta is used as a whip, giving gentle taps on the body to stimulate circulation and relax. If you really want to experience how the Finns intended the sauna, then you will definitely want to try the vihta.

Sauna Fragrances

With delightful fragrances, you will find extra relaxation in your sauna. That is why there are special sauna fragrances developed with the most relaxing aromas, from eucalyptus to pine and berries. You simply mix these sauna fragrances with the water in your sauna bucket. To do this, you only need a little bit, which makes sauna fragrances very economical! So give yourself that sumptuous sauna experience and choose the most magnificent fragrances from our range.

Sauna towels and pillows

Because saunas are meant for sweating, your body and the benches can quickly become uncomfortably sticky. You can avoid this by sitting on a large, soft sauna towel. If the sweating gets too much for you, you could also use this to occasionally wipe the sweat from your forehead. And would you also like to be able to rest your head and close your eyes for a while? Then the sauna pillow is the accessory you are looking for. Make yourself comfortable in the sauna and forget your sauna towels and cushions not!
