Soft & Portable Hyperbaric Chambers

Portable hyperbaric chambers are soft, inflatable chambers, often called mild hyperbaric chambers, that run at 1.3 to 1.5 ATA and fold down for storage when you are not using them. Selected Comfort carries lying, sitting and wheelchair-entry soft chambers from TECNOTU, Macy-Pan, OxyRevo and Kingshare, priced from $5,750, and for most home buyers this is the right place to start.

Pick the entry style first, then check the space and power the full setup needs, not just the chamber. Weighing soft against 2.0 ATA hard shell? Read our soft vs hard shell guide or the portable hyperbaric chamber buying guide.

How to choose a portable hyperbaric chamber

Choose a portable hyperbaric chamber by how the user gets in and out first, then by pressure, then by the space and power the full setup needs. Vineet Arora, Founder of Selected Comfort, points most home buyers to a 1.3 to 1.5 ATA soft chamber first: it costs far less than a hard shell and folds away when it is not in use.

Is a soft chamber enough?

ATA stands for atmospheres absolute. 1.0 ATA is normal air pressure at sea level, so 1.3 ATA is 30% above it. Every soft chamber in this collection works between 1.2 and 1.5 ATA. If your doctor recommends a higher pressure, such as 2.0 ATA, a hard shell chamber is the better fit: browse all our hyperbaric chambers for home use or read the 1.5 ATA vs 2.0 ATA comparison.

Lying, sitting or wheelchair entry

Lying chambers such as the TECNOTU TecnoLay Classic, Macy-Pan ST801 and OxyRevo Apex32 are the most common, but the user has to get down to floor level and crawl in. Sitting chambers such as the TECNOTU TecnoSit Classic, OxyRevo Forward90 and Macy-Pan L1 let the user sit upright, and the TECNOTU Recline lets them sit or lie back. Wheelchair-entry chambers such as the Macy-Pan MC4000, OxyRevo Heal40 and TECNOTU 1.3 ATA Wheelchair chamber let the user roll in without transferring. Our team steers seniors, and anyone with stiff knees or hips, toward sitting or wheelchair models.

What "portable" really means

  • The bag folds, the machines stay. A soft chamber deflates and folds, but it runs with an air compressor and usually an oxygen concentrator beside it.
  • Plan for the whole setup. Our Macy-Pan MC4000 listing gives a 21 kg chamber, 18 kg compressor, 24 kg oxygen concentrator and 4.5 kg air cooler: about 150 lb in total.
  • Measure the room. Lying chambers are long once inflated, so leave space beside the chamber for the machines and for getting in and out.
  • Check the power. The MC4000's oxygen concentrator alone draws 480 W, so avoid sharing its outlet with heaters or other large loads.

Zippers, seals and oxygen

Soft chambers hold pressure with sealed zippers, so the zipper is the part to check. TECNOTU lists YKK zippers on its chambers, the Macy-Pan ST801 uses a two-layer YKK zipper whose seal relaxes if the machines power down, and the MC4000 uses a three-zipper seal. Check what the listing includes as well: TECNOTU chambers are sold as chamber + machine, with bracket options, and concentrator output differs by model, from 10 L/min on the TECNOTU Classic models to 15 L/min on the TECNOTU 1.3 ATA Wheelchair chamber.

Mistakes our team sees most

Vineet's list of the most common regrets: buying a chamber that is too small, not checking how easy it is to get in and out, being surprised by the noise and heat inside, and choosing a weak oxygen concentrator. Tell us the user's height, mobility and room size, and we will check them against the model before you order.

Medical and safety note: The FDA regulates all hyperbaric chambers as prescription medical devices, and none of the chambers on this page is presented as a treatment for any condition. Talk to your doctor before buying or using one. Oxygen raises fire risk inside a chamber, so follow the manufacturer's instructions on what can go inside and how to run it.

Soft & Portable Hyperbaric Chambers: frequently asked questions

What is a portable hyperbaric chamber?

A portable hyperbaric chamber is a soft, inflatable chamber that an air compressor pressurizes, usually to 1.3 to 1.5 ATA. It deflates and folds for storage or moving, which a rigid hard shell chamber cannot do. It runs with a compressor, and usually an oxygen concentrator, beside it.

What pressure do soft hyperbaric chambers reach?

The soft chambers in this collection work between 1.2 and 1.5 ATA. Most TECNOTU and Macy-Pan models run at 1.3 to 1.5 ATA, the OxyRevo Forward90 runs at 1.4 ATA as standard, and the OxyRevo Elite32 and Elite36 run at 1.2 to 1.4 ATA. If your doctor recommends a higher pressure, such as 2.0 ATA, look at hard shell chambers instead.

Are soft hyperbaric chambers FDA approved?

The FDA regulates all hyperbaric chambers as Class II prescription medical devices. A few portable mild chambers have FDA 510(k) clearance, and that clearance covers only mild symptoms of acute mountain sickness. The listings for the chambers in this collection do not state FDA clearance, and none is sold as a treatment for any condition. Talk to your doctor before using any chamber for a health reason.

Should I choose a lying, sitting or wheelchair soft chamber?

Choose a lying chamber if the user can get down to the floor and back up easily. Choose a sitting chamber if knees, hips or balance make that hard, and a wheelchair-entry chamber such as the Macy-Pan MC4000 or OxyRevo Heal40 if the user cannot transfer easily. Our team steers most seniors toward sitting or wheelchair models.

Can I move a portable hyperbaric chamber by myself?

The chamber itself folds, but the full setup is heavier than most people expect. Our Macy-Pan MC4000 listing adds up to about 150 lb for the chamber, compressor, oxygen concentrator and air cooler. Plan for two people to move it, and set it up in one room if you can.

How much does a portable hyperbaric chamber cost?

Soft chambers at Selected Comfort start at $5,750 for the TECNOTU TecnoLay Classic and TECNOTU Recline, both sold with their machines, and reach about $15,500 for the largest Macy-Pan ST901 configuration (prices as of October 2026). Price rises with chamber size, sitting or wheelchair entry, and the oxygen package. See our financing page for payment options.
