Wellness stands for relaxation, health, beauty and a long life. The infrared wellness cabins from Hydrosoft are designed to meet these requirements and combine deep infrared heat with steam. At Heim und Handwerk, the company will be demonstrating how the cabins can be individually tailored to the respective user and why technology, material and use work closely together here.
Many infrared cabins work with spot heaters. The wellness cabins shown here use a carbon field instead, which emits the heat evenly over a large area. This creates a mild deep heat that envelops the body without individual hot radiation sources being perceived. At Heim+Handwerk, it becomes clear that the user is not sitting directly in front of a hot radiator. The surfaces remain touchable, the distance is around 55 cm. The heat has a pleasant and even effect, which makes use quieter and more relaxed.
A special feature of the cabins is the combination of infrared heat and steam. In the two-person cabin, there is a steam generator under each seat. This creates a warm and humid climate reminiscent of tropical conditions. At a temperature of around 38 degrees, intensive sweating is achieved without the need for high room temperatures. The heat not only acts via the air, but also directly on the body.
Local wood from Tyrol is used for the interior. The choice includes Swiss stone pine, which is known for its essential oils, and spruce. Both types of wood not only characterize the appearance, but also the feeling of space in the cabin. The infrared heat is transferred directly to the body as you lean against it in the cabin. Essential oils can be added as an option to enhance the wellness experience.
In addition to relaxation, movement is also part of the concept. The one-person cabin has a particularly compact design and is also suitable for smaller rooms. A foot massage bar is integrated to activate the foot reflex zones, supplemented by massage elements for the soles of the feet. A wooden training device, the so-called Synomobile, can also be used in the cabin. While the muscles are being prepared by the heat, arm and leg movements can be carried out. Different muscle groups are addressed depending on the suspension.
Despite the extensive equipment, the energy consumption remains manageable. Depending on the model, the power consumption is between 1.6 kW and 1.9 kW; the two-person cabin requires around 3 kW. This is roughly equivalent to the consumption of a standard hairdryer. This makes it suitable for regular use in the home. The cabins are used both at home and in hotels or vacation apartments.
