Vertical cold plunges allow you to maintain a standing or seated position. When adapting to the cold, advocates believe going vertical is much easier as you have more control to progressively lower yourself as you become accustomed to the cold water versus abruptly laying down flat against a cold surface.

The vertical design is an excellent choice for those needing to maximize space while still achieving full-body immersion, an essential component of effective cold therapy.

An upright design gives you the ability to have water surround your entire body similar to dipping into an ice cold lake. Some find laying flat against the cold surface of a tub a more difficult challenge.

In a vertical plunge, whether standing or sitting upright, your chest stays open, promoting effortless and natural breathing. This posture supports better airflow than lying down, making it easier to engage in deep breathing exercises.
