Product Information
Helpful information about sizing, setup, delivery, and what is included
The Dreampod Cold Plunge Barrel FLEX includes the compact inflatable barrel-style cold plunge. This tub-only version is designed for customers who want a simple cold immersion option that can be used with ice or paired with a compatible Dreampod chiller later for powered temperature control.
An anti-vibration mat is available as an optional add-on for delivery-only orders. This silicone rubber mat is a minimum of 10mm thick and helps spread the weight of the cold plunge barrel more evenly across the floor
It can help create a more balanced, stable placement while also helping protect both the floor and the base of the barrel from scratches. The added friction may also help reduce slippage or unwanted movement, especially on slick tile or other smooth flooring surfaces
The Dreampod Cold Plunge Barrel FLEX is designed with a compact upright shape, making it easier to place in home wellness spaces, gyms, spas, recovery rooms, patios, and smaller wellness areas where a longer tub-style plunge may not be the best fit.
