Discover the Benefits of Thermal Contrast
Thermal Contrast for Well-Being
Thermal contrast—alternating between the warmth of a traditional sauna and cooling afterward—is a safe and enjoyable practice for most healthy adults. Experience temperatures of 160–200°F, authentic Löyly, and the unmistakable aroma of birch as your body and mind unwind. Guests often tell us they leave feeling relaxed, refreshed, unhurried, and ready for a great meal.
Research from Finland has found that regular sauna bathing is associated with improved cardiovascular health and overall well-being when combined with a healthy lifestyle. Make authentic Finnish sauna a part of your wellness routine and discover why it has been cherished for generations.
The Got Sauna team is here to help you get the most from your mobile sauna experience with guidance, orientation, and best practices.
Sauna and thermal contrast are not appropriate for everyone. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant, or are unsure whether sauna use is right for you, consult your physician before participating.
What Is Thermal Therapy?
Sweat Bathing
Sweat bathing is a time-honored tradition practiced around the world for centuries. From Finnish saunas and Russian banyas to Turkish hammams, Korean jimjilbangs, and Native American sweat lodges, cultures have embraced heat for relaxation, social connection, and overall well-being.
Our traditional wood-fired Finnish sauna exposes the body to short periods of heat reaching up to 200°F. The combination of high temperatures and moderate humidity gently raises your core body temperature, increasing circulation and encouraging a deep, cleansing sweat. As water is poured over the hot stones, the humidity rises, creating the signature Löyly—a soft, enveloping warmth often described as feeling wrapped in a warm blanket.
Guests frequently leave feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and energized, carrying the benefits of an authentic Finnish sauna experience long after they step outside.
Experience Authentic Finnish Löyly
A traditional wood-fired Finnish sauna is the gold standard for sauna enthusiasts. By balancing high heat with carefully controlled humidity, it creates a deep, healthy sweat that opens pores, relaxes muscles, eases tension, and promotes overall physical and mental well-being.
Unlike a dry sauna, a Finnish sauna is an interactive experience. Using a bucket, ladle, and hot stones, you control the humidity by adding water to the stove, maintaining an ideal 20–40% humidity while temperatures range from 165–210°F.
The result is Löyly—the soft, enveloping steam that is the soul and life force of the Finnish sauna. Löyly transforms intense heat into a rich, comfortable warmth that surrounds your body and defines an authentic Finnish sauna experience.
A dry sauna simply heats the air. A traditional Finnish sauna creates Löyly. The difference is unmistakable.
Refresh Your Body With Cold Water Immersion
Complete your traditional Finnish sauna experience with cold water immersion. Between sauna rounds, cool down in one of our plunge tanks, enjoy a refreshing outdoor shower, pour a bucket of cold water over yourself, roll in the snow (when nature cooperates), or take a dip in a nearby lake.
The dramatic contrast between heat and cold creates an invigorating sensation unlike any other—leaving you refreshed, energized, and ready for your next round of exceptional löyly.
Refresh Your Body With Cold Water Immersion Therapy
With its numerous health benefits, cold water immersion therapy has become incredibly popular amongst sauna enthusiasts. Between sauna rounds, you can submerge your entire body in one of our cold-water plunge tanks. The sudden drop in temperature and hydraulic pressure restricts blood vessels and redirects blood to your vital organs, including the heart, brain, and lungs. Once you emerge from the tank, your blood vessels expand, and nutrient-rich blood is sent throughout your body to help eliminate waste products and reduce inflammation. Feel the magical sensation that is found nowhere else.
