The Bridgeport is Almost Heaven's largest indoor sauna: a 6-person rectangular cabin built for a basement, home gym, or large bathroom, not a backyard barrel. It runs a Harvia 8kW electric heater on a dedicated 240V/40A circuit and reaches about 180°F, with multi-level benches so you can sit up or stretch out.
This configuration is traditional, not infrared, though Almost Heaven also sells an Infrared (Hybrid) Bridgeport from $9,423 that combines traditional heat with infrared. A rock-topped electric heater heats the air for the hot, dry sweat that most of the long-term sauna research studied, including the Finnish cohort work on cardiovascular outcomes. If you want infrared's milder, lower-temperature heat instead, look at Sunlighten or Clearlight.
The build is 1-3/8 inch tongue-and-groove lumber in Rustic Red Cedar or Hemfir, with a tempered glass door (full or half), stainless hardware, and interior LED lighting. It is made in West Virginia by a company that has built saunas since 1978, which matters for parts and service over a 10-to-15-year life. As configured at almostheaven.com it runs $7,624 (from about $6,036 at some retailers depending on wood and glass options), with shipping roughly six weeks out.
Where it gives ground: it is a large, permanent indoor install that needs a 240V/40A circuit and real floor space, so it is overkill for one or two people. And as a traditional sauna it does not carry the deep brand-funded research base Sunlighten has built around infrared. For the buyer who wants a genuine, roomy, American-made traditional sauna indoors, it is one of the most established picks on the market.

Almost Heaven Saunas Bridgeport 6-Person Indoor Sauna - buyer FAQ
Is the Almost Heaven Bridgeport indoor or outdoor?
Indoor. The Bridgeport is Almost Heaven's largest indoor cabin sauna, a 6-person rectangular room designed for a basement, home gym, or large bathroom. For an outdoor build, look at a barrel sauna or the Sun Home Luminar.
What heater does the Bridgeport use?
A Harvia 8kW electric heater on a dedicated 240V/40A circuit, reaching about 180°F in roughly an hour. Harvia is the Finnish standard, with broad parts availability in the US.
Why buy Almost Heaven over a cheaper imported cabin?
Almost Heaven manufactures in West Virginia and has built saunas since 1978, with US-based support and parts. Most sub-$5K imported traditional cabins hit parts-availability issues at year 5 and beyond. For a 10-to-15-year purchase, the US-made track record matters.
