Matching models: the lowest verified price at each size
Selection rule, in full
Two rows per seating capacity: 1 to 2 people, 3 to 4, and 5 or more. Rows are the lowest verified prices among the models that match, ties by name; nothing is ranked on quality. Where none of them has a seller we link to, the lowest-priced matching model that has one is added as a last, labeled row.
Each price is the lowest verified at the named seller on the date the model's own page shows. Buy links open the seller's page for that exact model and are affiliate links that support this site; see the affiliate disclosure.

How these were measured
378 of the 419 saunas in the catalog publish exterior dimensions this page can read (387 publish something; the rest give too little to compute a footprint, such as a depth with no width, or describe a unit too low to stand in). Figures are the base unit as the maker lists it: a roof overhang, porch or changing room the maker lists separately is not added. Height is left out where the maker gives only two dimensions, which is why the height counts are smaller. Groups with fewer than 3 models are not shown. Form is read from the maker's own product name, so a model whose name states no form is in no form row.
These are the outside dimensions of the unit itself, before any clearance its install manual may require around it.
