Sauna Backrests

Our Kelo™ Sauna Backrest is solid, untreated pine, the wood traditionally used in Finnish saunas. Four silicone pads on the corners keep it from slipping or scratching your bench.

Yes. The curved shape sits stable on any flat sauna bench without mounting hardware. The silicone corner pads hold it in place through heat and steam.

Sauna walls and benches are flat, but your spine isn't. A curved backrest follows the natural line of your lower back, so you can lean back and stay in the sauna longer without shifting around to get comfortable.

Yes. Pine is one of the traditional woods used in Finnish saunas because it handles repeated heat and humidity cycles without warping. Wipe it down and let it dry after each use to keep it smooth.

Yes. Some customers also use it as a lumbar support in a bathtub or as an extra leg rest, since it's built to handle heat and holds up fine in cooler, drier settings too.

Wipe it down with a dry or slightly damp cloth after each use, and let it air dry standing up rather than flat so moisture doesn't sit in one spot. Avoid soaking it or using harsh cleaners on the pine.
