Because the sauna stove is built into the area beneath the benches and behind the seats, the room feels very clean and uncluttered, and it is less exposed to direct radiant heat. It offers mild heat that warms the body gently and thoroughly, along with moderate humidity, so both beginners and experienced sauna-goers can enjoy it comfortably without feeling stifled.
