The summer season may be over, but don’t retire your beach towels just yet. Sauna season is slowly taking over and you will love your NAYAVITA blanket as a stylish and functional sauna towel.

Whilst saunas are most popular in Nordic countries such as Finland, the rest of the world has already fallen for this traditional form of relaxation and health care. As they say in Finland, ‘Sauna is a pharmacy for the poor’.

Sauna is a universal answer to most of our problems. Are you tired? Go to the sauna. Need a detox? Sure, use sauna. Are your muscles sore after training? Sauna again. And a high-quality sauna towel is an essential part of this type of relaxation.

Benefits of sauna

The benefits of sauna are many, from muscle relaxation to detox. Here are the key health benefits of sauna:

1. Detox: Sweating in a sauna helps remove toxins from your body.
2. Improved blood circulation: Heat causes blood vessels to dilate, improving blood flow.
3. Joint and muscle relaxation: Sauna heat helps to release tension in muscles and joints, which is also ideal for athletes or people with arthritis.
4. Improved mood: Saunas can help reduce stress and improve mood by releasing endorphins.

What makes a good sauna towel?

There is a multitude of sauna towels, kilts and blankets. Each has its pros and cons. We believe, a good sauna towel should meet 6 main criteria:

1. Size – sauna towel should be big enough to cover the bench, allowing you to wrap yourself around in it without unwanted flashing.
2. Water-absorbency – sauna is followed by a cold shower so you need a towel that absorbs water well to get you nice and dry fast.
3. Quick drying – fast drying is not just practical, but also more hygienic.
4. Style – yes, you can and should look and feel good in sauna too!
5. Compactness – compactness when folded might be more important when travelling, but we why drag around chunky towel filling up your whole sauna bag, when you don’t need to.
6. Sustainability – nowadays our planet is disappearing under tons of plastic waste so sustainability should always be a consideration.

Towels made from recycled microfibre: More than just a cloth

Our beach towels do more than just absorb water. They are 160 x 80 cm large to cover you perfectly, quick drying so you don’t have to worry about mould, and they look so good they will make you feel like the king or queen of the sauna. The fact that they fold into a small package and are ultra-absorbent is a given. But wait, there’s more!

Supporting the environment or How to be in style whole year round

We all know the challenges caused by plastics waste. The oceans are full of plastic bottles, bags and other junk. But we found a way to fight it. Our beach towels are made from RPET (recycled PET), which means you’re supporting the recycling of plastics ending up in our oceans. You can read more about the production process and why it pays to design products from recycled PET bottles here. With NAYAVITA sustainable towels, you not only look great and feel comfortable, but also contribute to the cleaning of our planet.

Last words

The summer season may be over, but your beach towel doubles up as the perfect sauna towel. Sauna is a great way to fight muscle stiffness and autumn fatigue. Originally from Finland and the Nordic states, today saunas can be found all over the world. And what better way to go to the sauna than with a practical and functional towel that knows what is important. Do something for your health and support our environment at the same time with beautiful towels that understand you!
