Everything you need for the sauna, made for real heat
Cult of Sauna makes intentional sauna essentials: a wool hat for the heat, a towel for the bench and a robe for the cool-down after. Each piece is built for the way people actually use a sauna, at high temperatures, round after round, and designed to work together.
The Cult of Sauna hat
The Cult of Sauna hat is hand-felted from 100% organic wool into a dense, seamless cone. Wool insulates, so the hat keeps the hottest air off your head and your hair protected from the heat. A cooler head means you can stay in longer and come out feeling better. Wool sauna hats are part of sauna culture in Finland, Russia and the Baltics for exactly this reason. Three colours: Nordic Birch, Volcanic Grey and Fjord Ice.
The Sauna Towel
A waffle weave cotton towel made for the bench: something clean to sit or lie on in the heat, then wrap up in after. The open weave is light and dries quickly between rounds, and a sewn-in loop lets you hang it up. In Aurora Black or Arctic Ivory.
The Sauna Robe
The cool-down is half the ritual. The Sauna Robe is waffle cotton with a shawl collar, tie belt and patch pockets, made for stepping outside between rounds and staying warm while the heat settles. In Aurora Black or Arctic Ivory, Regular and Large.
The Ritual Set
The hat, towel and robe together in matching colourways, for less than buying them separately. The most complete sauna gift we make, for yourself or for the person who never misses a Sunday session. Free shipping on 2+ items.
Questions
Why wear a hat in the sauna?
Heat rises, so your head sits in the hottest air in the room. A wool sauna hat insulates your head from that heat, which keeps you cooler, protects your hair from drying out and lets you stay in longer.
What is the best material for a sauna hat?
Wool. It insulates, breathes and stays comfortable at sauna temperatures. The Cult of Sauna hat is hand-felted from 100% organic wool, felted dense so it holds its shape session after session.
Do you need a towel in the sauna?
Yes. Most saunas ask you to sit on a towel, and it keeps you off the hot wooden bench. A waffle weave towel like The Sauna Towel is light enough to dry between rounds.
What is a good gift for someone who loves the sauna?
The Ritual Set: the Cult of Sauna hat, The Sauna Towel and The Sauna Robe together, the three things a regular actually uses. For a smaller gift, the Cult of Sauna hat on its own.
