The Golden Designs Forssa Edition (model GDI-7203-01) is a 3-4 person traditional steam sauna for indoor installation, and the largest of the three traditional Golden Designs saunas we carry. It is a 75″ × 48″ × 78″ prefabricated room with a Harvia 8kW stove and a Canadian Red Cedar interior. Traditional stove mode reaches 170–185°F, a range infrared cabins do not provide.
Harvia 8kW Stove
The sauna uses a Harvia 8KW traditional sauna stove with built-in controls, sized for the largest of the indoor rooms. Stove mode uses stones and water to produce steam and reaches the standard 170–185°F traditional range.
Construction and Included Features
The interior is Canadian Red Cedar — aromatic and suited to steam use — with a natural reforested Canadian Hemlock exterior in a clear stain, and a clear tempered glass door. Included are an oversize interior chromotherapy color lighting system with red light therapy feature, a lit accent backrest, an interior LED control panel with built-in FM station and Bluetooth connection, performance speakers, and the sandglass, bucket, and scoop used for traditional sessions.
Installation Requirements
The Forssa is a prefabricated panel room that assembles indoors on a solid, level floor (basements and large bathrooms are typical), or in a covered outdoor space protected from direct weather. It requires 240V / 40AMP service for the stove plus 120V / 15AMP for lighting and audio, installed by a certified electrician. Assembled weight is 550 lbs; shipping weight is 610 lbs, delivered curbside on a pallet.

Low EMF Infrared Saunas: Deep Detoxification and Safe Heating
Far-infrared (FIR) is the longest infrared wavelength on the light spectrum, with a range of 3000 nm to 0.1 mm. This wavelength penetrates deeply beneath the skin, warming the body from the inside out. As a powerful detoxifying agent, FIR encourages fat-based sweating, where many toxins are stored, making it especially effective for cleansing at a cellular level.
Optimal Temperature Range
These saunas are designed to operate within an ideal temperature range of 118°F to 132°F, with the capability to reach up to 140°F for users seeking higher heat.
Low EMF Standards
Our Low EMF Infrared Saunas maintain EMF levels between 6-10 milligauss (MG), measured 6 to 8 inches from the heating panels, offering a safe environment for regular infrared therapy sessions.
Full Spectrum Infrared Saunas: Comprehensive Health Benefits
Full Spectrum Infrared Saunas combine NEAR, MID, and FAR infrared wavelengths to target multiple health benefits.
- FAR Infrared: Deeply penetrates fat tissue, activating sweat glands to release toxins.
- MID Infrared: Reaches muscles and joints, boosting circulation and reducing pain.
- NEAR Infrared: Targets the skin’s surface, promoting cell health, skin renewal, and reducing inflammation.
Near Zero EMF Infrared Saunas: Safe and Effective Heating
Golden Designs’ Near Zero EMF Saunas offer a natural, low-EMF thermal experience using PureTech Near Zero EMF Heating Technology. These saunas deliver FAR infrared heat with EMF levels kept under 2 milligauss (MG) at a close range of 2 to 3 inches from the heating panels.
- Temperature Range: Ideal between 118°F and 132°F, with a max of 140°F.
- Safety: Maintains near-zero EMF exposure, prioritizing a safe environment.
Ultra Low EMF Infrared Saunas: Safe, Deep Heating
Dynamic Ultra Low EMF Saunas deliver a natural thermal experience with minimal EMF exposure, using PureTech Ultra Low EMF Heating Technology and FAR infrared wavelengths.
- Temperature Range: Operates ideally between 118°F and 132°F, with a maximum of 140°F.
- EMF Safety: EMF levels kept under 3 milligauss (MG), measured 6 to 8 inches from heating panels.
These saunas provide effective, deep-reaching heat therapy in an ultra-low EMF environment, offering a safe option for consistent infrared use.
