About & how we pick

North Sanctum is a small, independent site about the retreat at home: the hot tub on the deck, the sauna in the garden, the cold plunge by the door and the bathroom that feels like a spa. We research, compare and explain – briefly and honestly.

How we pick

• We say when we’ve used something. Products we own and use are marked “We use this”. Everything else is a researched pick, and we say so.
• Every pick has a downside listed. If we can’t name one, we haven’t looked hard enough.
• No paid placement. Brands can’t buy a spot or a better rating.
• We update. Each article shows when it was last checked. Products that get worse or disappear come off the list.
