Cold hands. Tight shoulders. A head full of the day. Step into an infrared sauna and feel all of it melt. The warmth sinks right into you, your muscles soften, your breathing slows and, thirty minutes later, you walk out loose, glowing and properly switched off.

Infrared sauna starts at just £25 for 30 minutes at PURE. Choose our red light-infused infrared sauna at Union Square in Aberdeen, or book the private basement wellness suite at Lothian Road in Edinburgh.

Why infrared feels so good

A traditional sauna blasts the air around you to around 80°C. Infrared works differently. Its heaters warm your body directly, so the cabin can run far cooler while you still feel the heat deep in your muscles. You breathe easily, you can stay longer and you never feel like you are being cooked.

The difference is measurable. In a Finnish study, heart rate in the infrared sauna averaged 71 beats a minute, against 92 in a traditional sauna. The researchers called infrared "a very light loading for the body". In a Dutch study, 88% of people said they felt comfortable or very comfortable after 30 minutes at 55°C.

Deep warmth, without the struggle. That is why people who never liked saunas fall for infrared.
