Our verdict on each
Almost Heaven Saunas
Almost Heaven Saunas suits buyers in the US who want saunas and cold plunges from one maker and care more about long cover than a low entry price. The lifetime warranty is the standout, and $4,036.50 sets the floor. Delivery sits outside the price.
Spadeluxe
Spadeluxe suits German home owners who want a fixed, high-capacity setup rather than a cheap inflatable, and it sells into DE only. It trades entry price for build quality, with 10 years of cover and seating for 7 people behind every tub.

Pros and cons
Almost Heaven Saunas
Pros
- Lifetime warranty, ranking 1 of 18 brands on cover length, so the buy is protected for longer than most.
- sauna, infrared sauna and cold plunge all sold under one roof, where Lay-Z-Spa lists hot tub, inflatable hot tub and cold plunge, so heat and cold come from a single supplier.
- Room for 8 people, ranking 4 of 21 brands on maximum seats, which suits a family or shared garden.
Cons
- Delivery included: no, so the $4,036.50 entry price does not cover getting a unit to the property.
- Plug and play: no, against a group where 81.2% is 81.2% of brands, so setup is part of the job.
- Entry price of $4,036.50 ranks 18 of 25, so budget shoppers start further down the list.
Spadeluxe
Pros
- Warranty of 10 years runs well past the hot-tub median of 2, the strongest point on the page.
- Finance and included delivery together mean the €5,238 entry price can be spread with no separate freight line.
- Plug and play tubs with a heater of 3 to 5.25 kW keep commissioning work down.
Cons
- The infrared cabin entry price of €5,238 puts Spadeluxe at 22 of 25 brands on price from, so it needs justifying against cheaper shells.
- It sells into DE only, so anyone outside that market has no route to a dealer.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre only, with no live chat in that set.
Who each suits
Almost Heaven Saunas
Who it suits
- Buyers who want a sauna and a cold plunge handled by one maker, given sauna, infrared sauna and cold plunge sit together in the range.
- Owners with room for a larger cabin, since the range takes 8 people and covers lifetime cover.
- Shoppers who put warranty length ahead of entry price, and will accept paying $4,036.50 rather than starting lower.
Who should look elsewhere
- Budget first buyers, because $4,036.50 ranks 18 of 25 rather than sitting at the budget end of the table.
- Anyone outside US, since the range ships in a single market.
- Buyers wanting a plug and play setup, since plug and play is not part of the range.
Spadeluxe
Who it suits
- German home owners who want a fixed shell tub with 7 people seats and a 10 years warranty behind it.
- Buyers who want tubs and saunas from the same seller, given a hot tub, swim spa and sauna range.
- Anyone who would rather spread the €5,238 outlay, since finance is available and delivery is included.
Who should look elsewhere
- Lay-Z-Spa, whose hot tub, inflatable hot tub and cold plunge range is built around inflatable formats and a cold plunge, so it suits buyers after a portable tub rather than a fixed shell.
- Saunaloft, whose hot tub, inflatable hot tub and swim spa range adds inflatable hot tubs to the same hot-tub, swim-spa and sauna core.
- Wave Spas Main, whose hot tub and inflatable hot tub range is limited to hot tubs, so the sauna and swim-spa side sits elsewhere.

Questions about each
Almost Heaven Saunas
What does Almost Heaven Saunas cost?+
Entry sits at $4,036.50, which places the brand 18 of 25 on price, so it is a mid table entry rather than the cheapest on the list. Finance is available, which can spread that entry point over time. Delivery is not included in the listed price.
What does the warranty cover?+
The warranty is lifetime, which ranks 1 of 18 brands and sits well above the group median of 4 years. On longer cover, this is the clearest reason to pick the brand. It matters most on barrel and cabin builds, where heaters and timber age fastest.
Spadeluxe
What does a Spadeluxe spa cost to start with?+
The listed entry price is €5,238 for the infrared cabin range, which puts Spadeluxe at 22 of 25 brands on price from. Delivery is included, so the figure carries no separate freight line. Finance is available if that outlay needs spreading rather than paying in a single hit.
Where can Spadeluxe deliver?+
Spadeluxe sells into DE, and delivery is included on that route. The support team and the legal entity sit in the same country, which keeps the chain short for a heavy, bulky product. Buyers outside that market would need to look elsewhere, since DE is the only stated route.
