Why it works
Reasons to love Novren
No installation needed
There is no fit-out, no tradie and no conversation with the property manager. You set it up in your own space and start using it the same week it arrives.
Packs away easily
Novren packs down between sessions, so it does not take over a small unit.
Moves with you
When the lease ends, your recovery routine does not end with it. Fold it up, load it into the car and set it up again at the next place.
Yours, not rented
You buy it once instead of paying a monthly membership to use someone else's sauna.
The daily habit
A real day with Novren at home
- 1Early morning
Straight home instead
You walk out of a cold ocean swim and head home. There is no more sitting in the carpark with the heater on full.
- 2Before work
Warm steam, calm start
You sit in your own warm steam for a while. Then you shower and catch the train feeling settled.
- 3After work
Unwind after running
After a trail run or a session with the crew, you set it up again and sit back. The day slows down.
- 4Late evening
Living room back
You fold the tent down and put it away. Your unit looks like a home again.
The difference
Why Novren, not just any sauna
Most people start with a permanent cabin. Novren is for people who swim, dip, run or train and want somewhere warm to recover at home.

Questions
Asked before you buy
How does the Novren™ Deep Thaw Sauna Tent work?
Fill the generator's 2L reservoir with tap water and plug it into a normal power point. The 1000W generator boils the water and sends steam down the hose into the zipped, quilted tent. You sit on the folding chair with your head out through the cinched top opening, so you breathe room air while your body sits in the steam. The quilted fabric holds the heat in, and the remote lets you choose from 9 heat levels.
Is it a dry sauna or a steam sauna, and how hot does it get?
It is a wet-heat steam unit, not a dry or infrared sauna. You set the intensity across 9 heat levels with the remote. If you specifically want very high dry temperatures, this is the wrong product for you. If you want to warm up properly after a cold swim, it does that job well.
What exactly comes in the box?
Each Novren Deep Heat Recovery Set has four pieces: the collapsible quilted tent with a front zip entry, two side pockets and a cinched head opening; the 1000W steam generator with its 2L reservoir and corrugated hose; a folding chair; and an RF remote for the heat levels. You only need to add tap water and a power point.
Will it trip the breaker or push up my power bill?
The generator draws 1000W from a standard power point. That is less than many kettles or fan heaters. If you run it at full draw for a 20-minute session, it uses about a third of a kilowatt hour. In an older unit, avoid running it on the same circuit as a heater, kettle or dryer at the same time, which is how most breaker trips happen. No hardwiring, electrician or plumbing is needed.
I rent. Can I use it without my landlord's permission?
Yes. Renters are who we designed it for. Nothing is screwed in, drilled or plumbed, and nothing is fixed to a wall or the bathroom. The tent stands on its own, the generator runs from a standard power point and the reservoir takes ordinary tap water. Because nothing changes the property, there is nothing to ask permission for. When your lease ends, fold it down, put it in the car and set it up at your next place.
How much space do I need?
You need a patch of floor about 88 x 77 x 100 cm, close to a standard power point. Most people use a corner of the lounge, a spare room or a bedroom. You do not need a dedicated room. Between sessions it folds down to cupboard size in a couple of minutes, so a small unit can stay clear of clutter.
