Energy Lounger vs Infrared Saunas: A New Era of Wellness

The Energy Lounger is a state-of-the-art full-body red and near-infrared light therapy bed, now exclusively available in Australia through New Wellness Australia Pty Ltd.

This cutting-edge lounger delivers therapeutic red light in a comfortable, zero-gravity recliner design, promising deep relaxation and a range of health benefits. Infrared saunas, by contrast, are well-known wellness fixtures that use infrared heat to induce sweating and recovery.

Below, we compare the Energy Lounger’s advanced light therapy with traditional infrared sauna therapy, focusing on clinical benefits, session efficiency, and business profitability.

Clinical Benefits and Recovery Support

Red light therapy (as provided by the Energy Lounger) and infrared saunas both aid recovery, pain relief, and skin health, but they work in different ways.

Red Light Therapy: The Energy Lounger uses specific red and near-infrared wavelengths (630nm, 850nm, 940nm) that stimulate cellular activity – boosting collagen for skin rejuvenation and accelerating tissue repair (Discover the EnergyLounger: A Revolutionary Wellness Device for Optima – Blue Sky Fitness Supply) (Energy Lounger | Red Light Full Body Therapy Bed – Blue Sky Fitness Supply). Research shows red light therapy can reduce inflammation and relieve pain; a review of 11 studies found mostly positive results for red light in easing inflammatory pain conditions (Red Light Therapy: Effectiveness, Treatment, and Risks).

Infrared Sauna: Infrared saunas use IR heaters to warm the body directly, improving blood circulation and promoting a deep sweat. This increased circulation can speed up muscle recovery and even enhance athletic performance with regular use (Infrared Saunas: 6 Health Benefits). Clinical studies also indicate infrared sauna therapy “may be a promising method for treatment of chronic pain,” with long-term sauna users reporting reduced pain levels (Infrared Saunas: 6 Health Benefits). Both technologies support skin health and recovery, but red light’s direct photobiomodulation gives the Energy Lounger a unique edge in stimulating skin rejuvenation and healing at the cellular level (Discover the EnergyLounger: A Revolutionary Wellness Device for Optima – Blue Sky Fitness Supply).

Session Efficiency and User Experience

One of the biggest practical differences is session length and comfort. The Energy Lounger delivers its therapeutic benefits in a shorter session – around 20 minutes is all that’s needed to feel revitalized (Energy Lounger | Red Light Full Body Therapy Bed – Blue Sky Fitness Supply). Users remain comfortably clothed and simply relax on the ergonomic lounger as the light works, with no excessive heat or sweating involved. In contrast, infrared sauna sessions typically last 30–45 minutes per session for optimal results (How Long Should You Stay in an Infrared Sauna to Unlock Ultimate Relaxation?), not counting warm-up time. Saunas operate at 110–135 °F, which though gentler than traditional saunas, still causes vigorous sweating and requires tolerance for heat (Infrared Saunas: 6 Health Benefits) (Infrared Saunas: 6 Health Benefits).

The Energy Lounger’s gentle approach means virtually anyone can use it without discomfort – even those who find sauna heat challenging. Additionally, the Lounger can be used unattended; no dedicated operator is needed for each session, unlike some spa therapies. This “set-and-forget” capability allows staff to focus elsewhere while clients safely enjoy their session, combining efficiency with an enjoyable user experience. The device’s compact size (about a standard recliner footprint) also means it fits easily into clinics or wellness rooms, unlike a full sauna cabin.

Business Benefits and ROI Potential

For wellness business owners, the Energy Lounger represents an attractive high-ROI investment. Its shorter session times and unattended-use capability translate to more sessions per hour and minimal labor cost – driving greater revenue potential per square foot. For example, the manufacturer estimates that performing about six sessions per day could achieve a full return on investment in roughly 2–3 months (EnergyLounger - Revolutionize Your Wellness Experience).

By offering a 20-minute service, clinics can accommodate clients nearly back-to-back, whereas a single infrared sauna appointment might occupy the room for an hour or more including prep and cooldown. Moreover, as a first-to-market technology in Australia, having the Energy Lounger sets a business apart from competitors. It attracts tech-savvy wellness consumers looking for the latest in recovery and skin therapy, and it can be marketed alongside or in place of infrared sauna sessions for those seeking a quicker, high-tech alternative. Early adopters can build new membership offerings around Energy Lounger sessions (for example, as premium recovery or beauty treatments), fostering repeat business and client loyalty.

Importantly, New Wellness Australia’s exclusive distribution means Australian businesses can only source this innovative lounger through them – ensuring quality support and a unique selling point in the local market.

Conclusion

The Energy Lounger brings together the clinically proven benefits of red and near-infrared light therapy in a compact, efficient format. Compared to traditional infrared saunas, it offers shorter, more comfortable sessions with equal or greater therapeutic impact on recovery, pain relief, and skin health. For wellness providers, it delivers exceptional session efficiency and revenue-generating potential, with unattended operation and fast ROI making it a savvy investment. As a first-to-market, high-ROI wellness product available only via New Wellness Australia, the Energy Lounger is poised to revolutionize recovery therapy and elevate wellness businesses across Australia.
