The right accessories round out a sauna session — a cedar bucket and ladle for löyly, a backrest for comfort, a hygro-thermometer to track heat and humidity, and sauna-safe lighting. These aren’t competing alternatives to each other; most owners add several over time rather than choosing just one.
We list the accessories and what to check within each type — material and liner for buckets, analog vs. digital for thermometers, and which ones suit infrared cabins, traditional cabins, or both. See our Sauna Accessories Buying Guide for the full breakdown.

Buying Advice
Choose materials that tolerate heat
Look for sauna-rated wood and finishes designed to handle repeated high-heat, high-humidity cycles.
A thermometer earns its keep
A hygro-thermometer takes the guesswork out of dialing in consistent, repeatable sessions.
Don't skip the bucket and ladle
For traditional saunas, a properly sized bucket and long-handled ladle make löyly much easier to manage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a special bucket for löyly?
A wood or heat-rated bucket paired with a long-handled ladle is the traditional choice and holds up better to repeated heat exposure than a generic container.
How often should I reseal a cedar bucket?
This depends on usage frequency and the specific sealant — check the product's care instructions for a recommended schedule.
What accessories work with infrared cabins too?
Thermometers, backrests, and lighting accessories generally work across both infrared and traditional cabins; buckets and ladles are specific to traditional steam sessions.
