    Price Match Policy Terms and Conditions

    Effective November 3, 2025

    To Qualify for a Price Match:

    • The Sauna Republic product must be new and identical (i.e., same brand, including model number and color), in-stock at the competitor, and available for delivery at the time of purchase.
    • We will price match only online dealers; no brick and mortar stores. Competitors must be online retailers that are shipped from and sold by an authorized online retailer and subject to the terms, conditions, and exclusions referenced herein.

Direct your Sales Support agent to the competitor's website with the lower price or provide them with a legitimate quote. After you tell us about the item and price you want to match, we’ll verify the information before completing the price match. Some items require that you speak to a sales associate over the phone to receive a price match.

    The Sauna Republic reserves the right to restrict or exclude items that have been subject to fraud, tampering, editing, misrepresentation, or based upon price errors. We will always work to provide the lowest available price for products. This policy is subject to change without notice.

    Frequently Asked Price Match Questions (FAQ)

    What qualifies as proof of a price when requesting a price match?

    If you have the competitor's advertisement, present the entire printed ad or a photocopy of the ad. Digital versions of printed advertisements are accepted. If you find the price online, please present a link to the price from an authorized seller. A sales associate will then verify the match.

    Will the total retail price of the competitor item be matched?

    Yes. Price match will take into account any hidden costs of the item like shipping and delivery fees. For example, if a competitor is offering an item at $5,000 plus $950 shipping, the match price will be $5,950. Our sales associate will calculate the final cost of the competitor item including shipping and delivery fees.

    Do items from warehouse clubs like Sam's or Costco qualify for price match?

    Warehouse clubs like Sam's and Costco can often offer lower prices through fee-based memberships that we cannot price match. We reserve the right to decline price matches from retailers requiring paid membership access.

    Does an item have to be in stock to receive a price match?

    Competitor items must be in stock on the competitor's website at the time a price match is requested.

    What constitutes advertising/pricing errors on the part of a competitor item?

    Many manufacturers have strict rules about the minimum price that an item can be advertised for (MAP). Retailers that advertise or sell products for lower than these prices are violating the rules of these manufacturers. We may or may not be allowed to match a price violation, depending on the manufacturer's stance. The best way to find out if a price can be matched is to contact us so an associate can verify the information and policy.

    Description

    About Model E8 

    The SaunaLife ERGO-Series Outdoor sauna barrels were designed and engineered by sauna enthusiasts to be the most comfortable, durable, and attractive barrel saunas you can buy.   

    Ergonomics – Barrel Sauna Comfort  

    Bathing comfort cannot be overlooked when investing in an outdoor sauna barrel. The diameter of the barrel and the bench/backrest configuration must be considered. Barrels with a small diameter may be priced lower (less materials), but the tradeoffs are door height, bench comfort, and headroom. Smaller diameter barrels have a tighter arc which can create seating posture challenges, impact standing upright, and require one to duck upon entry and exit. ERGO Series Sauna Barrels benefit from a 6’5” interior height. Due to its large diameter, benches can be ergonomically contoured and formfitting. The generous barrel arc can support an expansive and arched backrest for true lumbar support. Touch and feel were not ignored when selecting the knot-free, silky-smooth grade-A Thermo-Aspen seating material designed to hug most any body size.   

    Durability – A lifetime of outdoor bathing pleasure   

    Did you know that Thermo-Spruce lasts up to 2X longer than Cedar wood? Every SaunaLife barrel begins with industry-leading 1.65” thick full-length staves that encapsulate the sauna and provide exceptional thermal resistance (R-value). This chemical-free, eco-friendly wood is dimensionally stable and ideally suited for outdoor saunas. We even build showers out of it! Wood thickness is the theme in the SaunaLife ERGO Series and provides bathers with ergonomically crafted benches and backrests from Thermo-Aspen (1.1” thick and 3-1/2” wide) nearly 50% thicker than most.   

    Ingenuity - Engineered to exceed expectations  

    Don’t let the simple design and installation process fool you, the ERGO-Series is jam-packed with barrel sauna innovation. Go ahead and splash the water, these beautiful outdoor spaces are built to thrive with water! It begins with industry-leading 1-7/8” wide and 1/8” thick stainless steel barrel bands that compress the massive staves and create your wellness retreat. Then, a watertight DIY shingle kit (a necessity for every barrel sauna) with side-mounted drip edges provides exceptional rainwater management. Inside the barrels are dual floor drains. One is purposefully placed under the sauna heater for your water-tossing pleasure. A second drain is near the door, where cold plunge or pool water may collect. Should this barrel shift out of level, these dual floor drains have you covered.  

    Illumination – Inside and out 

    Illuminating your barrel showcases the beauty of the wood and enhances your sauna experience. Only low-voltage and waterproof LED lighting will do. SaunaLife provides a superior white LED lighting system that is Wi-Fi app-based and allows one to set the ideal scene prior to entering the sauna. A hand-held remote control is also provided for on/off/dim operation. SaunaLife’s white LED fixture is heat and water certified (IP67) and is dotless so it provides an enchanting, even glow. Expandable up to four white fixtures, explore the available E Sconce+ Package which provides two striking out-door LED wall sconces for ideal outdoor sauna ambiance. For the ultimate backyard sauna party attraction, consider adding E MOOD Lighting Package for both the inspirational and relaxing visual effects that an infinite range of color affords.   

    Beauty – A compliment to most any outdoor oasis   

    SaunaLife sources the highest quality Nordic Spruce and dries it to a rich golden color that accentuates its distinctive grain and rustic tight-knot charm. The barrel interior benefits from ergonomically designed benches and backrests of ultra-smooth Thermo-Aspen, a grade-A wood species that is rich in color, and free from knots. A complimentary bottle of paraffin oil, a natural wax, is provided to enrich and preserve the interior luster. 

    The MODEL E8 home sauna is designed by SaunaLife and precision-crafted in Northern Europe where sauna bathing is a healthy part of everyday life. Enjoy a lifetime of wellness in your own backyard and Live the SaunaLife!
