The right chamber depends on how you plan to use it, where it will be installed, your preferred entry style, and the level of equipment you are considering.
Soft-shell chambers use flexible, laminated nylon fabric over an external frame. Hard-shell chambers use rigid stainless steel construction.
Soft-shell chambers on our site typically reach 1.3–1.5 ATA. Hard-shell chambers reach higher pressures, up to 2.0–2.5 ATA depending on the model.
Soft-shell chambers can generally be folded and relocated. Hard-shell chambers are a fixed installation once placed, often several hundred to well over a thousand pounds.
Soft-shell chambers typically fit a standard bedroom or spare room and start lower in price. Hard-shell chambers usually need a dedicated room (sometimes with reinforced flooring) and represent a larger investment.
This is an equipment and space question, not a medical one — Sharon can help you weigh entry style, room constraints, and budget. For questions about whether HBOT itself is appropriate for you, speak with a qualified healthcare professional.
