Sauna Bench Designs: Curves, Levels and Backrests

02 / Benches & seating

What is the difference between a sauna lounge and a flat bench?

A lounge shapes the seat and back into a reclined position. A flat bench gives you a level surface to sit or lie on. The Baia shows both in the same room: a sculpted lounge on one side and a flatter bench opposite it. That is a useful comparison if you want to see the difference without changing sauna models.

How do upper and lower sauna benches fit together?

In the photographed X2, the lower bench sits forward of the upper bench and a smaller step leads up from the entry. In the Libera Glass, the broad lower tier sits below the long upper bench. Looking from the door makes that overlap clear; a view aimed only at the upper seat can hide much of the lower level.

What is the difference between open benches and bench skirts?

An open bench leaves its support structure visible underneath. A bench skirt closes or screens the front of the space below the seat. The Thermory Square #40 photos show open legs and supports. The SaunaLife X7 uses horizontal slats across the bench front, giving the seating a more enclosed appearance.

Why does bench depth look different from one photo to another?

A close camera makes the near edge of a bench look larger, especially in a wide-angle view. Compare the Nativa doorway photo with a seated viewpoint before judging the shape. The photographs explain how the bench and floor relate; the exact size drawing supplies the depth measurement. A photograph alone is not a measuring tool.
