Dreampod

Nine Dreampod units, $760 to $22,325, median $8,075. The range covers two different products: five float tanks and four cold plunges, and the thirtyfold price spread is the difference between them.

Float tanks

A float tank holds several hundred gallons of heavily salted water. The floor has to carry the filled weight, the room needs ventilation and a drain plan, and the salt is an ongoing cost and an ongoing task. Ask about salt volume and changeover schedule before you buy — that is the commitment, not the purchase price. See floatation therapy tanks for the full float range including the home and commercial split.

Cold plunges

The cold plunges start at $760 for a fill-and-drain tub and run up from there; three name a built-in chiller. A chiller is what separates a tub you fill with ice from one that holds temperature on its own, and it is the single biggest driver of both price and running cost. Compare against the wider cold plunge range before deciding.

Delivery

A float pod is a freight item and needs clear access. Free shipping to the lower 48, no minimum, and it stops at the curb — the crate is left at the end of your driveway. Getting it inside is a $600 white-glove upgrade. Getting it inside and assembled is $1,800, which covers everything except electrical work: we recommend you hire a local electrician for that, because the wiring has to meet your local code and pass local inspection. Service fees are non-refundable: if the sauna goes back, the installation does not.
