If you’re heading into the sauna wearing the same swimsuit you use at the lake in summer — we’ve got news for you: in the sauna it does more harm than good. Heat, steam, and synthetic fabrics are neither friends nor good neighbors. The right sauna clothing is not just about comfort, but also about a healthy body response to heat, proper skin breathability, and even the aesthetics of sauna rituals.
Why Is Synthetic Clothing Unsuitable in the Sauna?
Under high heat, synthetic fabric acts like a film: it prevents your skin from breathing, overheats quickly, causes irritation, and simply becomes uncomfortable. In some cases, synthetic materials can get so hot that having them against your skin becomes a problem.
Natural fabrics are a completely different story. Linen, cotton, or wool absorb moisture, allow airflow, don’t overheat, and provide the natural comfort your body needs for quality steaming or simply relaxing in the heat.

What Should You Wear in the Sauna?
Sauna Robe – the King of the Dressing Area
While inside the steam room we’re usually naked or wrapped in a towel, a robe in the dressing area is a true lifesaver.
- Comfortable, warm, hygienic.
- A soft natural fabric feels good against the skin.
- After steaming, you won’t want to jump into outdoor clothes immediately — the robe keeps the warmth and coziness.
In our store you’ll find very comfortable linen and cotton robes that keep their shape even after many washes. For example, linen sauna robes with a hood are among the most popular choices because they dry quickly and don’t absorb odors.

2. Linen Sauna Clothing – Light, Breathable, Natural.
If you prefer to spend part of your sauna time dressed (especially between different procedures), choose linen.
Linen not only withstands heat but also looks elegant.
Our store offers high-quality linen aprons that don’t release artificial smells and don’t generate static (and we all know how annoying sticky synthetic fabric can be).

3. Wool Sauna Hat – A Small Item with a Big Impact.
If you’ve never tried a sauna hat — you’ll be surprised at the difference it makes.

Why do you need it?
- Protects the head from overheating.
- Allows you to stay in the steam room longer.
- Reduces discomfort for people sensitive to heat.
- Perfect for steaming rituals.
Sauna hats are usually made of wool or felted wool.
In our store you’ll find both traditional grey models and colorful or embroidered options. There are even playful shapes — from classic bell designs to more creative styles.
4. Sauna Towels and Mats.
A towel in the sauna is essential for good manners and hygiene. The best ones are large and natural:
- Cotton towels absorb moisture well;
- Linen towels dry quickly and are perfect for sensitive skin;
- Sauna mats protect you from the hot bench and add extra hygiene.
The cotton sauna mats offered in our store are very durable and specifically designed for high temperatures.

5. Sauna Aprons – Between Steam and Comfort.
Aprons are popular for their simplicity: you put one on, and that’s it. Especially useful if you want to retain warmth between different procedures or don’t want to wring out your clothes every 10 minutes.
Aprons are usually made of:
- linen (great for summer saunas),
- cotton (soft and cozy),
- natural terry fabric (excellent moisture absorption).
In our store you’ll find both men’s and women’s aprons, often with pockets — a small convenience that feels surprisingly nice.

6. Hair Towels – a Small but Essential Sauna Helper.
Hair gets a lot of heat in the sauna, so protecting it is just as important as protecting your scalp. This is where hair towels are incredibly useful — usually made from lightweight, moisture-absorbing cotton or linen. They help prevent overheating, manage damp hair, and keep it from sticking to your neck or face when the heat intensifies.
In our store you can find extremely comfortable turban-style hair towels — easy to wrap, secure, and comfortable to move in. They’re an excellent choice for women and are often liked by men too, especially those with longer hair. They’re also much more hygienic than regular bath towels since they dry faster and don’t overheat.

What Should We Forget?
Synthetic swimsuits, sports leggings, polyester shorts — these are pure sauna taboo.
They overheat, stick to the body, and can irritate the skin. Not to mention that in heat they often start giving off strange smells or fading.
Sauna Clothing Should Last More Than One Season.
The best investment is natural fabrics. They:
- last long,
- keep their shape,
- don’t create static,
- aren’t allergenic,
- look aesthetic,
- work for all sauna procedures.

Our store assortment lets you build a full sauna wardrobe: from hat to robe, from mat to sauna bag.
A sauna is a place where the body and mind relax. And for that, you need not only heat and the smell of fresh birch leaves but also the right clothing. Natural fabrics, comfortable silhouettes, and well-chosen accessories are the foundation that lets you leave the sauna not exhausted but reborn.
Synthetic fabrics don’t belong here — let your body breathe.
