Choosing hyperbaric chamber size and capacity

How to pick the right hyperbaric chamber size and capacity — interior length for taller users, sitting vs lying, room for two, caregivers, and multi-user clinic sessions.

After pressure, size and capacity are the decisions that most affect day-to-day comfort. A chamber that is too small is unpleasant to use; the right size makes every session relaxing. This guide helps you match dimensions and capacity to your needs.

Interior length and posture

Taller users should check interior length first. Lying soft chambers run up to around 90–95 cm wide and 230 cm long, giving unrestricted legroom — ideal for sleep-focused sessions. Sitting chambers trade some lying space for the ability to sit fully upright, which many users prefer for reading or working.

One person, two people, or a caregiver

Most home chambers are sized for one adult, with larger sitting models fitting an adult plus a child. If you need room for two adults, or a caregiver to accompany a user, a double or wheelchair-accessible chamber is the right choice — the COSW14 fits two and offers a wide entrance.

That flexibility also suits rehabilitation settings, where a wide entrance allows direct wheelchair access.

Multi-user capacity for clinics

Clinics think about capacity differently — the question is how many clients you can treat per session. Multiplace hard-shell chambers treat several users at once: the COHB20 supports up to five and the COHS20 up to three. See the multiplace range and our monoplace vs multiplace guide.
