Who should buy which
Family-office wellness installations. Buyers serious about nervous-system regulation as part of longevity protocol. Anyone with a dedicated ventilated wellness room.
You can't accommodate the 8×4 ft + ventilation requirements. You've never tried float - start with commercial sessions ($50-100 each) to validate the protocol before committing $20K+.
Traditional sauna enthusiasts who've found previous installations too dry, too vertically uneven, or too harsh - particularly couples where one partner finds traditional saunas uncomfortable.
You want infrared (different category), you're budget-constrained ($6.5K+ start is real), or you need the largest service network (go Sunlighten or Clearlight).
