Transform your backyard, patio, pool area, or indoor wellness space with the Golden Designs Bergen 6-Person Traditional Sauna. Designed with an all-weather exterior and a warm Canadian Red Cedar interior, the Bergen combines the timeless traditional sauna experience with modern lighting, audio, and comfort features.

The spacious interior accommodates up to six people and includes two levels of bench seating, allowing users to select their preferred seating height and temperature. Natural Canadian Red Cedar creates a warm and inviting interior while contributing the distinctive color, grain, and aroma associated with cedar sauna construction.

A clear tempered-glass door and generous glass front create an open, contemporary appearance. The interior backrest includes accent lighting, while the oversized chromotherapy color-lighting system and integrated red-light feature provide additional control over the sauna’s atmosphere.

The interior LED control panel operates the lighting and entertainment features and includes a built-in FM radio and Bluetooth connectivity. Integrated performance speakers allow users to enjoy compatible music, audio, or radio programming during the sauna session.

The Bergen includes an 8.0-kilowatt traditional sauna stove with built-in controls. Water may be applied to the properly heated sauna stones in accordance with the heater instructions to create the characteristic heat and humidity of a traditional sauna.

Golden Designs identifies approximately 170°F to 185°F as the ideal operating range, with the sauna capable of reaching approximately 190°F under appropriate conditions. Actual heating performance may be affected by the installation location, outdoor temperature, electrical supply, ventilation, and frequency of door use.

Electrical Requirements

Traditional Sauna Stove:
240-volt dedicated electrical service

Lighting, Control Panel, and Audio System:
120-volt, 15-amp electrical service

The sauna stove must be installed and connected by a qualified, licensed electrician. The electrician must determine the correct breaker size, conductor size, wire temperature rating, disconnecting means, grounding, and other installation requirements from the stove nameplate, current heater manual, and applicable electrical codes.

The Golden Designs sauna manual specifically requires licensed electrical installation, copper conductors rated for the application, and compliance with national, state, and local electrical requirements.

Important electrical note for your listing

I recommend that you do not state a fixed heater amperage in the customer description yet. The current Golden Designs product page lists 240 volts/30 amps, while authorized dealer specifications list 240 volts/40 amps for the same 8.0-kilowatt stove. That discrepancy should be confirmed with Golden Designs or the stove nameplate before you advertise a specific amperage.

Installation Notice

Install the sauna on a solid, level, dry, and properly supported foundation capable of carrying the sauna, its occupants, and all associated equipment. Suitable foundations may include a properly constructed concrete slab, paver base, or adequately engineered deck.

Although the Bergen has an all-weather exterior, regular exterior maintenance and protection from standing water, roof runoff, excessive snow accumulation, and severe weather will help preserve its appearance and service life. Outdoor exposure may naturally change the exterior color over time, and minor water seepage can occur during heavy weather.

Before ordering or installation, verify:

• Available floor and ceiling space
• Doorway and delivery access
• Foundation or deck load capacity
• Electrical-service capacity
• Required clearances
• Drainage around the installation area
• Local building and electrical requirements

Important Product Information

Natural cedar may exhibit variations in grain, knots, shading, aroma, texture, and color. These variations are normal characteristics of natural wood and should not automatically be considered defects.

The colors displayed on a computer, tablet, or mobile device may not precisely match the actual sauna. Differences may result from photography lighting, screen settings, natural wood variations, weathering, and manufacturing processes.

Cedar wood, cedar dust, and naturally occurring cedar oils may cause eye, skin, respiratory, or digestive-tract irritation in sensitive individuals. Cedar may also cause an allergic skin or breathing reaction. Discontinue use if irritation or allergic symptoms occur and seek appropriate medical advice when necessary.
