Finally sit without lower back pain

I used to cut sauna sessions short because my lower back started aching. Since adding the Aspen backrest I can sit in a more natural position and the pain is gone during sessions. The wood matches my sauna and feels supportive without being hard. It has made a noticeable difference to my relaxation time.

Perfect match for my TheraSauna

The aspen wood looks exactly like the bench in my TheraSauna and that uniform look makes the whole space feel more finished. It was sanded smooth and ready to use right away, which I appreciated. I also like that it is non-toxic and simple to maintain. It fits perfectly and stays put as a backrest.

Great as footrest and backrest

I ordered this to use as a footrest but found it doubles perfectly as a backrest on the bench. The dual purpose is exactly what I needed for different sessions and guests. It is sturdy on the floor and comfortable against the bench. Having two options has made our sauna time more flexible.

Smooth finish feels premium

The sanding is well done and the surface feels soft to the touch without any splinters. I kept it unfinished because I like the natural look, but it would take stain easily if you prefer a different tone. It feels like a quality accessory rather than a cheap add-on. That finish made me more confident in the purchase.

I stay in longer now

This backrest has changed how long I use the sauna because I can lean back and relax without thinking about discomfort. Sessions that used to be 10 minutes now run longer because I feel supported. It makes the sauna feel more like a place to unwind rather than endure. That extra time has improved my post-sauna recovery.

Bought one for my spouse

We share our sauna and buying an extra backrest was a smart move. My partner loves having the additional support and it keeps the bench tidy when not in use. It paired well with the accessory kit and felt like a thoughtful upgrade. Shipping was straightforward and the item arrived ready to use.

Sturdy and low maintenance

The backrest is surprisingly solid while still being lightweight enough to move around easily. I wipe it down after use and it has shown no signs of wear so far. The non-toxic aspen gives me confidence that it is safe to use in the sauna environment. It feels built to last without any fuss.
