Home HBOT · Ireland & Northern Ireland
Can You Have a Hyperbaric Chamber at Home?
Yes — HBOT can be accessed at home using suitable hyperbaric equipment with the right setup, screening and guidance.
For people who want regular access, having a chamber at home can remove one of the biggest practical barriers to HBOT: repeatedly travelling to a clinic.
ReWell provides home chamber rental and ownership options across Ireland and Northern Ireland, with delivery, installation and ongoing support.
The Short Answer
Home HBOT Can Make Regular Access Far More Practical
A clinic session can be a useful way to experience HBOT for the first time. But when someone wants to use HBOT regularly, getting to and from a clinic for every session can become the difficult part.
A home chamber changes that.
Instead of arranging every exposure around appointment availability and travel, you have access to the chamber where you live.
That can be particularly useful during a structured recovery programme, for people building HBOT into a longer-term routine, or where mobility and travel are difficult.
But a hyperbaric chamber is still specialist pressure equipment. Home access should come with appropriate screening, correct installation, clear operating instructions and ongoing support.
Why Home HBOT?
Why People Choose to Have a Chamber at Home
Regular Access
Use of a chamber at home removes the need to travel to a clinic every time you want a session.
Greater Flexibility
Sessions can be fitted more easily around work, family commitments and your existing routine.
Structured Programmes
Home access can make repeated sessions more practical when HBOT is being used as part of a defined programme.
No Repeated Travel
Particularly useful when distance, mobility or a demanding schedule makes frequent clinic visits difficult.
Rent Before Buying
Renting lets you experience having a chamber at home before deciding whether longer-term ownership makes sense.
Long-Term Access
For frequent or ongoing use, ownership can provide permanent access for suitable personal, family or professional settings.
Chamber Options
What Type of Hyperbaric Chamber Can You Have at Home?
The right chamber depends on the space available, intended use, preferred pressure, accessibility needs and whether you are renting or buying.
Most Accessible Home Option
Soft-Shell Chambers
Soft-shell chambers are ReWell's most straightforward option for regular personal HBOT at home.
They are lighter, easier to install and available in different formats depending on your space and mobility requirements.
Higher-Pressure Option
Hard-Shell Chambers
Hard-shell systems can also be installed outside traditional hospital environments, including for suitable private users.
They are larger, heavier and more permanent systems, so access, floor space, delivery, installation and operating requirements need more planning.
Before Delivery
How Much Space Do You Need for a Home Hyperbaric Chamber?
There isn't one universal room size because ReWell supplies several different chamber formats.
Before a chamber is delivered, the important question is not simply whether the chamber physically fits. The complete setup needs to work safely and practically in the space.
ReWell can help assess the chamber type and installation requirements before delivery.
Rent or Own?
You Don't Have to Buy a Chamber to Have HBOT at Home
ReWell offers both rental and ownership pathways, so the right starting point depends on how you expect to use the chamber.
Start at Home
Rent a Chamber
Soft-Shell from €999/month
Rental can be the simplest route if you're new to home HBOT, want access for a defined period or would prefer to experience a chamber at home before committing to ownership.
ReWell's soft-shell rentals are available for 1, 2 or 3 months, with delivery, installation, personalised guidance and ongoing support included.

Own Your Chamber
From €9,999
Ownership may make more sense when you expect HBOT to become part of a longer-term routine, want permanent access or need a chamber for multiple suitable users.
ReWell supplies soft-shell and hard-shell systems, with professional delivery and installation, personalised guidance and ongoing support included.
Explore Chamber Ownership →ReWell Rent-to-Own
Rent First. Decide Later.
You don't necessarily have to decide between renting and buying on day one.
If you begin with a ReWell rental and later decide that ownership is right for you, up to six months of eligible rental payments can be credited towards your chamber purchase.
That gives you a practical opportunity to experience having HBOT on-site before making a longer-term investment.

A Home Chamber Is Still Hyperbaric Equipment
Convenience shouldn't mean treating a hyperbaric chamber like ordinary household equipment.
Safe home use depends on appropriate screening, correct setup, understanding how the chamber operates and following the rules provided for the specific system.
Screening
Suitability should be considered before beginning HBOT, including relevant health conditions, medications and other individual circumstances.
Pressure Equalisation
Users need to understand how pressure changes feel and how to equalise their ears safely during compression.
Oxygen Safety
Oxygen equipment and chamber use must follow the operating and safety guidance provided for the specific setup.
Electronics
Rules around phones, batteries, electronic devices and other items inside the chamber must be followed.
Ignition Sources
Fire-safety requirements are fundamental in hyperbaric environments and must be followed every time the chamber is used.
Correct Operation
The chamber should only be used within its specified operating requirements and according to the guidance provided.

Common Questions
Home Hyperbaric Chamber FAQs
Can you have a hyperbaric chamber at home in Ireland?
Yes. ReWell provides suitable hyperbaric chamber rental and ownership options for home use across Ireland and Northern Ireland. The most straightforward home option is generally a 1.5 ATA soft-shell chamber, although some hard-shell systems may also be suitable for private settings subject to installation and operating requirements.
How much does it cost to rent a home hyperbaric chamber?
ReWell's current 1.5 ATA soft-shell rentals start from €999 for one month. Lying and seated models are €999 for one month, €1,699 for two months and €2,399 for three months. The accessible chamber starts from €1,199 for one month.
How much does it cost to buy a home hyperbaric chamber?
ReWell chamber ownership currently starts from €9,999, with soft-shell and hard-shell options available. Final pricing depends on the chamber selected, and prices shown on the ReWell sales collection are VAT-exclusive where a price is displayed.
Is delivery and installation included?
ReWell's soft-shell rentals include nationwide delivery and installation. Chamber purchases include professional delivery and installation. Hard-shell rental terms differ and current hard-shell rental pricing lists delivery as additional, so this should be confirmed when arranging your rental.
How much room does a home hyperbaric chamber need?
It depends on the chamber model. The chamber itself needs to fit comfortably, but property access, surrounding operating space, oxygen equipment, power and the requirements of the specific system also need to be considered before installation.
Can I put a hard-shell hyperbaric chamber in my home?
Potentially. ReWell's hard-shell range can be supplied to suitable private users as well as professional settings, but these systems are heavier and more permanent than soft-shell chambers. Space, delivery access, installation, pressure and training requirements need to be considered first.
Can I rent a chamber before deciding whether to buy?
Yes. ReWell offers a rent-to-own pathway. If you later decide to purchase, up to six months of eligible rental payments can be credited towards the chamber purchase.
Is a home hyperbaric chamber safe?
Home HBOT requires appropriate screening, correct installation and adherence to the operating and safety requirements for the chamber. ReWell provides setup and safe-use guidance and has dedicated HBOT Safety & Clinical Standards available on the website.
Which home hyperbaric chamber is best?
There isn't one chamber that is automatically best for everyone. The appropriate choice depends on intended use, desired pressure, available space, accessibility, expected frequency of use and whether you want to rent or own.
