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.
Wave Spas Main
Wave Spas Main suits buyers who want a simple plug and play tub or inflatable with delivery included, on a low entry price. The trade-off is cover: 2 years of warranty and support on email, chat and help centre, with a company founded in 2018.

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.
Wave Spas Main
Pros
- Plug and play, delivery included and finance are all yes, so no separate delivery charge is added on top of the listed price
- Entry price of €303.95 places the brand near the top of the field on price from, with the range topping out far below the category ceiling
- Product types cover both hot tubs and inflatable hot tubs in one range
Cons
- Warranty of 2 years is short for a hot tub, and sits below the hot tub median of 2 years
- Seats max of 6 people is at the low end of the hot tub range, ranking 13 of 21 brands on that measure
- Product types stop at hot tubs and inflatable hot tubs, so a cold plunge option like Lay-Z-Spa or Almost Heaven Saunas offers is not covered
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.
Wave Spas Main
Who it suits
- Buyers who want a tub that runs straight from a standard outlet without installation work
- Shoppers in European markets who want delivery included in the listed price
- Anyone splitting the cost with finance rather than paying in one go
Who should look elsewhere
- If you want a cold plunge in the range, Almost Heaven Saunas lists one alongside hot tubs
- If you want saunas as well as tubs in one catalogue, Saunaloft carries sauna and infrared sauna lines
- If a longer warranty is the priority, the 2 years here is the weakest point

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.
Wave Spas Main
How much does a Wave Spas hot tub cost?+
Prices start at €303.95 for the range, which covers both rigid and inflatable tubs. That entry point ranks 2 of 25 brands on price from, so the cheapest model does most of the attracting. Higher specification tubs in the same range cost considerably more.
What does the price include at checkout?+
Delivery is included in the listed price, so no separate freight charge is added on top. Finance is also available, which spreads the cost rather than requiring it in one payment. Buyers budgeting in another currency should check the local figure shown on the store.
