RÖK vs Almost Heaven Saunas
Outdoor Sauna Comparison
RÖK vs Almost Heaven
An honest, side-by-side look. The short version: with RÖK, your new sauna can be enjoyed at home in as little as a week — shipped free, for roughly half the price. Order the same size from Almost Heaven and it likely won't arrive for 2+ months. Here's exactly how they compare.
Almost Heaven's own checkout tells the story. Order a sauna today and it won't even ship until weeks from now — one popular model states "ships within 6–8 weeks of purchase," before transit.
Don't take our word for it — check the ship date on any model at almostheaven.com. A RÖK sauna could be heating up in your backyard before theirs has left the workshop.
