Compare the New Pause Sauna with Elite
Pause is a premium sauna, designed to protect digital-free presence.
Pause was created to preserve a core belief: saunas should offer a space free from digital noise. It responds to customer demand for modern digital convenience without compromising that principle.
For years, the Elite sauna set the standard for safety, materials, and far-infrared performance. Pause carries that same foundation forward and evolves it for how people live today. By default, Pause keeps screens and digital distractions outside the sauna. When you want connection, convenience, or control, it is there. When you do not, the space remains quiet, uninterrupted, and restorative. This is not technology added for novelty. It is technology added with intention.

Why Elite is no longer available
Rather than continuing in two directions, we chose to focus on a single path forward. That decision was not about replacing the Elite series. It was about carrying everything customers trusted about Elite into a more advanced, flexible, and future-ready experience. Pause represents that commitment. By unifying our sauna line, we can continue to refine materials, improve digital experiences thoughtfully, and support one clear standard for what a Radiant Health sauna should be.
