Dimension

When talking about dimension, we have to mention how saunas get measured, and why some saunas have a large difference between interior and exterior dimension. Most sauna marketers measure their saunas from the widest possible points (crown tip to tip) to show a larger size. When comparing saunas, you should compare the interior dimensions. Exterior dimensions should only be used to see if the sauna will fit in the space you have available.

Capacity

Depending on how many people will use the sauna at the same time, the sauna size will vary. The most common sauna purchased is a 2-person sauna because of it's compact size and will fit 2 people comfertably. When comparing capacity, you'll need to compare the interior dimension as well because a 2-person sauna should be at least 42" inches wide.

Here are the common sizes and the perferred width.

1-Person sauna: interior width shouldn't be smaller than 32" inches. These saunas are very small and are used when space is limited.

2-Person sauna: interior width should be 42" inches or wider. This is the most common sauna because of it's compact size yet big enough to fit two people.

3-Person sauna: if you need a sauna bigger than a 2-person sauna, the 3-person sauna is the next option. Make sure the sauna interior width is around 55" inches.

4-Person sauna: a 4-person sauna width and depth will vary based on the seating configuration.

2 Side Benches: in this configuration, the sauna is like two 2-person saunas put togather. The depth of the sauna should be around 42" inches with 35" inches between the benches for leg room.
Long Bench: this style is usually wider than the 2 Opposite Side Benches and is large enough for a person to lay down inside it. A common interior width for these saunas is around 65" inches.
Both Styles: This style combines both types and it is probably the most perferred style. However, the sauna needs to be wider and deeper than avarage to accommodate this setting. Interior width should be at least 71" inches and 52" inches deep.

Watch out for

Some websites list their 1-person and 2-person saunas as 2-person and 3-person saunas. Make sure to review the interior dimension when comparing saunas online.
