While the larger size might feel more comfortable, it may not fit in your home. You can find larger steam showers that have space inside for only one person, if you prefer that style.

Tips & Warnings
Include your budget in your final decision. Setting a budget is something you should do early on because it prevents you from looking at steam showers you can't afford and helps you find the right type.
Don't buy a steam shower unless it includes a label that indicates it was checked and approved to meet safety standards. Those without a safety label may have problems working with the electrical system in your own home.
