Cube and cabin saunas have flat walls and a level ceiling, so you get full headroom on every bench. The 7 we track listed from $4,899 to $9,860. The lowest priced barrel we track was $4,485, so expect to pay a little more for the shape.

Who should pick which
- Cabin: you want two bench levels and room to stand and change.
- Cube: the sauna faces a view and you want glass.
- Barrel: price matters most. See barrel saunas.
Large glass loses more heat than wood. If you choose a glass-front model for a cold climate, size the heater up using the calculator.

Why choose a cabin
- Two bench levels: sit high for more heat, low for less.
- Standing room: flat ceilings give full headroom across the room.
- Looks like a garden building: it fits a yard where a barrel would stand out.
Why not
- Cabins cost more than barrels with the same seats in our check.
- Flat roofs need a weatherproof cover or roofing to shed rain and snow.
Cube saunas
Glass-front cubes have their own guide with SaunaLife, Redwood Outdoors and Almost Heaven prices and heater pairings: cube saunas.

Common questions
Are cabin saunas better than barrel saunas?
They give more headroom and a flat floor. Barrels cost less for the same seat count. Neither is better for every yard.
How much does a cube sauna cost?
The cube models we track listed from $4,899 to $9,860.
How much does an outdoor cabin sauna cost?
From $6,299 for the 4 person Redwood Outdoors Cabin in our check, plus $250 to $1,500 for a 240V circuit.
What is the difference between a cube and a cabin sauna?
Both have flat walls. A cube is usually smaller with a full glass front. A cabin looks more like a small building with less glass.
