<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Long Steam Baths are Pleasant
Steam rooms, wet saunas and steam baths are popular ways to relax and unwind. In the past, the recommendation was to stay in the steam room as long as was comfortable.
On the Other: Under Twenty Minutes is Safe
Most current experts recommend 15 to 20 minutes at a time in a wet sauna, steam bath or steam room. This is based on increases in core body temperatures that can become dangerous in some people after 15 to 20 minutes.
Bottom Line
Although experts recommend limiting time in a steam room to 15 to 20 minutes, there is no reason not to extend time in steam rooms by coming out for a cooling off period before re-entering the steam room.
