Cold Water Baths

Buying a cold water bath for recovery

Looking to buy a cold water bath? A cold water bath is a bath of cold water in which you sit for a few minutes, also known as cold water immersion or an ice bath. It is a popular part of recovery and energy routines. This collection holds the ICEO cold water baths for home use, from an accessible entry model to premium models with a chiller.

What is a cold water bath?

In practice a cold water bath and an ice bath are the same thing: a bath with water at around 3 to 15 degrees Celsius. The term cold water bath emphasises that you do not necessarily have to cool the water with ice cubes; a chiller keeps the water cold automatically. Want to compare all types? Then take a look at all ice baths.

Which cold water bath suits you?

• ICEO Recovery Tub: an accessible entry model to start with, cooled with ice.
• ICEO Recovery Bath PRO: a premium cold water bath with drop-stitch construction, usable with ice or with the O'Spa chiller.

With ice or with a chiller?

For occasional use, ice cubes are fine. If you use the cold water bath often, an ice bath with chiller is more practical: a stable temperature and no preparation. Read the comparison ice bath with chiller vs ice cubes.

Safe cold water bathing

Cold water immersion is often used within a recovery routine after exercise. Research suggests a role in reducing perceived muscle soreness and fatigue, but effects differ from person to person and are no medical guarantee. Start gently, build up the time in short steps and consult a doctor first if you are in any doubt.
