Choosing Hyperbaric Chamber Size and Capacity
Choose home and clinic chamber size by posture, user height, entry format, capacity, delivery access, installed footprint and operator clearance.
Choose chamber size from the user posture and entry needs, then verify capacity, delivery access and the installed operating footprint. Interior dimensions alone do not show whether a chamber will reach the room or leave enough space to use and service it.
Soft Sitting vs Lying: Choose Posture First
For a sitting soft hyperbaric chamber, compare upright comfort, entry clearance and how the chamber will be used during a session. Sitting models suit users who want to read or work upright; lying chambers prioritize full recline and interior length. Check the inflated footprint and leave clear space at the entry before choosing.
| Use or fit need | Sitting soft chamber | Lying soft chamber |
|---|---|---|
| Posture | Sit upright, recline or lie flat in spacious models | Fully reclined position |
| Typical activity | Reading, working or relaxed upright sessions | Stretching out or resting |
| Room check | Allow for the larger upright footprint and clear entry side | Check interior length, entry side and hose clearance |
| Example models | COSE15 / COSS15 | COSL15 / COSL20 |

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.
Measure the Route and Installed Space
- Compare packed dimensions with doors, corridors, turns and lift capacity
- Confirm the installed footprint plus entry, operator and service clearance
- Check the floor and access route for the delivered weight of a hard-shell chamber
- Reserve space for the compressor, oxygen equipment, ventilation and cables
- Verify where users, wheelchairs and staff will wait, enter and exit
Matching Size to Use
| Need | Best fit | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Solo, sleep-focused | Soft lying chamber | COSL15 |
| Comfort, reading, working | Spacious soft sitting | COSE15 |
| Two adults / wheelchair | Double / wheelchair | COSW14 |
| Clinic throughput | Multiplace hard-shell | COHB20 / COHS20 |
