Learn how to set up and use the Hiisi sauna bench to enhance comfort in your Savotta sauna tent. Step-by-step instructions and practical tips.
Quick answer
The Hiisi sauna bench adds stable, comfortable seating for two bathers in your Savotta sauna tent. Setup takes minutes with no tools required.
Why a dedicated bench improves your sauna experience
Sitting directly on the tent floor or a camp chair can be unstable and uncomfortable in a hot, humid sauna. The Hiisi bench is designed specifically for Savotta tent saunas, with a foldable frame that includes built-in footrests and a separate seat that locks into place for stability.
The bench’s two-person capacity means you can share the session without crowding, and its lightweight, packable design makes it easy to bring along on any trip.
How to set up your Hiisi sauna bench
- Unfold the frame: Remove the bench from its carry bag. Open the two-part frame fully so it lies flat on the ground. The frame’s hinges will lock into place when fully extended. Common mistake: forcing the hinges when they aren’t aligned—gently adjust the frame arms until they click. Check that all four frame legs sit flush on the ground before proceeding.
- Position the seat on top: Lift the separate seat piece and place it onto the open frame. The seat has locating tabs that fit into corresponding slots on the frame. Press down evenly until you hear or feel it click into place. Common mistake: placing the seat backward—the wider side should face the footrests. The bench is stable only when the seat is fully seated in the frame slots.
- Test stability and adjust placement: Gently rock the bench side to side and front to back. If it wobbles, lift the seat slightly and reseat it, ensuring all tabs engage. Place the bench inside your sauna tent on a level area, away from the stove and tent walls. Common mistake: setting the bench too close to the stove—keep at least 30 cm (12 in) clearance for safety. A stable bench prevents tipping during use and protects the tent floor.
