Leil Saunas

22/05/2026

April was movement month at Leil® and our team really took it seriously. We took part in the “Sammukoguja” step challenge organised by Firmasport, and our top 3 walkers alone collected a total of 2 478 491 steps. Our 1st place winner walked over 1.1 million steps in just one month. Wild. The commitment was so real that in the final days of the challenge, even the winner’s treadmill gave up before he did.

Of course, after all that walking we had to restore the balance somehow, so we celebrated with kringel and happily ate some of those calories back.

Many of our colleagues said the challenge helped them build a great habit, and even the weeks after have been more active because of it. Such a great initiative and we definitely recommend it to other teams as well!

Not every escape has to be far away.
Sometimes, it’s right outside your door.

It’s not just about heat - it’s about how the steam (leil) feels.

So what is leil? Leil (Estonian, noun) - “sauna steam” is the burst of heat and v***r created by ladling water onto hot stones, and therefore the sacred ritual of making it.

How do you throw leil the right way?

Start with the basics:
• Let the sauna heat up to 50–60°C
• Begin throwing leil at 60–70°C
• Ideal sauna temperature range: 70–80°C

Then focus on the technique:
• Use small amounts of water
• Pour onto one spot evenly
• Do not pour a large amount of water over the entire heater

Save it for your next sauna session and share the best leil with a friend 🤍

Cold after sauna, but make it smarter ❄️🔥

A cold plunge after sauna is a well-known ritual but the initial shock can feel intense.

A more mindful approach would be:

→ try a short cold exposure before sauna
→ then go deeper with cold plunge after sauna

Why?
Your nervous system gets a gentle intro, so post-sauna cold feels calmer, not overwhelming.

For women: cold tolerance isn’t always the same - your cycle, stress and energy levels matter. Adjust, don’t push.

We've written more about this on our website journal, based on research and studies. Read more there.

Our Black Cube Classic 🖤

Black Cube series is the smallest sauna in the portfolio. Compact enough to fit in to tight garden spaces but still seats up to four people. Perfect for those who want a cozy sauna that doesn’t take up much room.

Depending on the model, you can choose different bench layouts, upgrade interior finishes, and add features such as LED lighting and rear glazing.

A visit from Norway 🇳🇴

We recently had the pleasure of welcoming our partners from the Norwegian brand Badstugutta to Leil Saunas.

During their visit, Badstugutta founders explored our production and got a closer look at how Leil Saunas are made. We also had the chance to learn more about Badstugutta and their inspiring work in sauna culture.

And of course, no visit would be complete without throwing some leil together. 🔥

Great conversations, shared sauna passion, and a strong partnership. 🤝

Our beautiful Patio S, a corner-glazed sauna with an L-shaped bench. So you can watch the sunset roll in… and let the leil take over.

2025 has been one of those chapters where, as a company, we’ve grown, changed, and renewed significantly.

Here are a few highlights we want to share:
• Our production efficiency increased by 30%, driven by better flow and stronger systems.
• Dozens of new colleagues joined our team, and today we’re 80+ people building this journey together.
• Commercially, our dealer network expanded, and we entered three new countries: Mexico, Brazil, and South Africa.
• We took a step outward and exhibited for the first time at trade shows in the USA and Japan.
• Internally, we made a big shift by launching a new name and a new brand.
• We flew to Barcelona with the whole office team for the trade show, where we celebrated and activated the brand launch together.
• We supported the work of the Tõrvandi Volunteer Rescue Association and the athletes of Tartu Spordiklubi Englas.
• And we’ve had the chance to collaborate with some truly big names, with more to come.

We’re sending off 2025 feeling proud and grateful. Thank you to everyone who’s been part of the journey 🤎
