Who should buy which

Pick the Dreampod V2 Float Pod if

Family-office and studio wellness installs. Buyers serious about nervous-system regulation as part of a longevity protocol, with a dedicated ventilated room for the pod.

Skip if

You cannot accommodate a dedicated, ventilated room and circuit, or you have never floated. Try commercial float sessions ($50-100 each) first to validate the protocol before committing to a pod.

Pick the Float Lab Custom if

Estate-grade wellness installations, family-office facilities, high-end private spas integrating float into a broader wellness room.

Skip if

You want a faster install (Dreampod ships in weeks, Float Lab takes months), or you don't need architectural-grade integration.
