Each track focuses on a specific need: get focused in the morning, revitalize midday, relax in the evening. Choose what resonates with the current moment, as our needs always change. The ‘talking head’ icon denotes verbal guidance – those new to meditation may prefer this, while others may prefer an unguided track with just ambient music. All tracks include binaural beats.

There are a total of twenty tracks and four categories to optimize your intention. Take a look at our session menu

Currently our guided meditation tracks are only available in English, However, there may be other options in the future

Yes, your system does have a physical knob that can be adjusted inside of the lower rear panel that will reduce the overall volume output available to users.

There is a scientific and psychological reason the Somadome sessions are 20 minutes. It takes the brain a minimum of 12 minutes to access the deep states reached in effective meditation. The mind can’t access theta – the state needed for manifestation, or delta – the state needed for deep healing (among others), unless it is capable of accessing this state. Otherwise you are just ‘sitting there.’ Yes, it is good to sit silently and try to meditate – but if we aren’t actually getting there – we aren’t actually reaping the real benefits of mindfulness – of visualization. The Somadome gets you there.
Energy medicine is only practiced in 20 minute increments. Acupuncturists will not treat you for less than 20 minutes, and traditionally sessions are in segments of 20 minutes. This is the minimum amount of time that it takes to enable the chi to begin to flow.
20 minutes is an effective window for a session. It can be squeezed in instead of a coffee break. It can be more powerful and shorter than a power nap.

The sessions are curated especially so you can listen to them repeatedly and receive benefits. Regularity actually enhances the effects and allows you to go deeper.

If you are a sound engineer or musician with content that contains a form of entertainment, even if the entertainment is from live sound bowls (especially this audio tech – nothing is more effective than frequencies coming organically!) then please reach out to us so we can learn more about you.
The Somadome is about the ‘soma’, or the ‘self’ who is inhabiting it. The dome is the space the self inhabits. It is not about anything else. Therefore, we do not work with content providers who preach their dogma. We don’t subscribe to any dogma.

At this point we only have our white, single design, model available. For an additional cost, you can customize the color of either the exterior or the body of your dome or its fabric inside. Please contact us directly to inquire.

No. The sound healing binaural beats modality plays a very important role in the Somadome experience. You can however listen to your own content from your phone, and still operate the Somadome to control the light color and fans if you wish. If you choose to do this, we recommend you turn off your wifi for optimal results. As we continue to grow and expand our content library, we are certainly open to working with sound healing professionals. Please contact us to inquire about working with us.

No you cannot. The dome operates locally with hard-wired local headphones. The headphones are hard-wired by design, to mitigate EMF interference. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

HA! We have a real reason. Bluetooth causes interference. Maybe you don’t believe it – maybe we can’t see it, but it’s true. There are too many studies showing impact on water molecules, sleep patterns, and thinking states. Ask any leading biohacker about it and they’ll tell you they don’t wear ear buds.
That said, the sound quality is also better with cabled headphones. And, it prevents the headphones from walking away in the market. We can easily replace your headphones – just let us know if you need another pair or just want backup. You cannot use your own headphones in the Somadome.
Once we launch the app, and the app can override the dome’s local UX,you can use your own headphones. We can’t control anyone’s choice here – but we strongly encourage considering the multitude of incredibly powerful quality headphones, with audio cables, OG style!

The best way domes are protected from unauthorized use is by keeping the headphones safe or the dome in a secure area. We don’t recommend shutting the dome down and powering it back on daily or several times a day as this forces it to go through a new cycle of reinstating contact between the controller and local tablet. It’s best to allow it to operate consistently and get regular use rather than there being barriers to use.
That said; to the extent that sessions are monetized in environments like spas or wellness clinics, these businesses have operations that oversee booking, payment, and use. And the dome is not accessible otherwise.
To the extent it is operated in environments like private clubs or residential living or corporate wellness where the dome is open to communities, each location decides. –
Is it on a first come / when available basis, or do they want to have a scheduling system to help book time. Maybe they have an office or a desk that holds the headphones.
There is a special hard wired audio cable connecting the headphones to the base of the dome, you can’t just use “any headphones” either. They have to be Somadome wired headphones that come with your dome.
Even once we launch our app, which will offer a broader UX to the end user, all domes will be able to pair with the app to access our UX, as it evolves.
Locking the touch screen for us, was not the solution.

We have a small staff of developers that work on our proprietary code.

We respect your privacy and never collect your data. The dome experience is entirely private. We do not share or sell data to any third parties. The only data ever collected is what is required for doing business, and only if relevant and explicitly consented to. You can opt out at any time. Please refer to our Privacy Policy

We are continually improving and evolving the Somadome experience and our suite of offerings. We are in development of our new SomaHome.

Not yet. It is something we will consider in the near future. We do have elaborate videos walking one through the UX from all angles, in our video library.

We are currently in partnership with UCLA & Columbia, Firefighters in California, and students part of our Pods 4 Peace program to gather research on the use and effects of Somadome over time.

Even if you fall asleep, people consistently report emerging refreshed and renewed; returning to work or your workout with added energy and focus, enjoying life with an enhanced feeling of calm, clarity & inner resonance.

Like any tool, there are many potential uses – we believe binaural beats either assist in achieving a state where altering your mood is more likely, or and that binaural beats may actually ‘en train’ your brain towards the preferred state of mind you choose. A comprehensive review of brainwave entrainment studies reveals the use of binaural beats to reduce insomnia, headaches, improve response to exercise, improving concentration in hyperactivity disorders, and for reducing anxiety or depression.

Binaural beats have been studied for decades, however much of the research is poorly controlled or has been difficult to reproduce, and there is a mix of scientific and non-scientific studies. The most common flaws in many psychology and alternative medicine journals have been poor study design, inadequate binaural beat exposure time, or lack of validated outcome measures. However, there have been several randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled studies that show binaural beats are effective at reducing anxiety, improving mood, or increasing attention. A particularly interesting study was conducted on patients during surgery, and showed that exposure to binaural beats resulted in less pain medication needed during the operation, less pain after the surgery, and earlier discharge from the hospital. There is a correlation between listening to binaural beats for 15 – 20 minutes and altering your mood, thinking, or perception of pain in as little as a single session when compared to sounds that are just random acoustic patterns. The potential for Somadome to improve quality of life in people with chronic pain is one of the most exciting claims we are expecting to validate in large population studies.

Yes, but it matters what binaural beats you use. Many studies have shown that meditation is an effective way to move the baseline rhythm of the brain towards alpha and theta, coinciding with feelings of relaxation and a state that resists stress and anxious disturbance while awake. In finding studies that show therapeutic benefits of meditation, there are many of the same problems of poor study design, lack of controls or subjective clinical outcomes that contain intrinsic bias. However, a review of meditation literature does reference good clinical studies with positive outcomes for anxiety, pain, immune functioning, and skin disorders presumed due to stress. When looking to compare meditation and binaural beats, it is important that the sound used is of impeccable quality, reproducibility, and coherence with the intended frequency.

Yes, energy medicine is safe and benign. There are no contraindications that we know of. That being said, if someone has a pacemaker they probably shouldn’t use magnet therapy. We know it to be safe, however, it’s better to be overly cautious when it comes to situations like this. Always consult your medical doctor with any concern too. There is nothing in the Somadome that is FDA regulated.

The term “Energy Medicine ” was coined in the 1980s by Dr. Elmer Green with the establishment of the International Society for the Study of Subtle Energy and Energy Medicine (ISSSEE). Dr. Green used the term to refer to alternative and traditional forms of healing that viewed the body as an energy system and believed that the body has subtle energies that shape health and disease but cannot yet be measured by current instruments. However, today, there are Western-trained physicians and scientists who embrace the term and include forms of electromagnetic healing used in mainstream medicine as well.

The foremost scientific writer on energy medicine today is Dr. James L. Oschman, Ph.D., a biologist and bio-physicist who studied under Nobel Prize winner Albert Szent-Gyorgi and was influenced by Szent-Gyorgi’s work on bioelectronics. His book, Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis (Churchill Livingstone: 2000), is the best available synthesis of western experimental and clinical work that relates to understanding the body as an energy system or set of energy systems.

At Somadome, we define energy medicine as techniques or other modes of healing that share the common thread of viewing the body as a system of energies, rather than a mere summation of biochemical interaction. Among healers and doctors who view disease primarily in energetic terms, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors and acupuncturists, disease is understood to result from blockages in or mismanagement of preferred energy flow in the body, or problems with the type of energy that communicates within human tissue. Developing a rigorous and scientifically plausible theory of the human energy system that is consistent with what we know of human biology and allows for testable hypotheses and measurable results is at the cutting edge of science and medicine today.

Electromagnetic Frequencies (EMFs) are entrained by a low static magnetic field. A low static magnet uses entrainment to capture EMFs – which can neutralize EMFs.

The dome shape and magnets embedded inside the structure, protect and shield against radiation. The profound state of relaxation after a session is a testament to the design of the dome and its ability to prevent EMF from entering. Research in the area of medicine is limited and largely anecdotal, limited to peer-reviewed journals in the CAM (Complementary and Alternative Medicine) spaces. However, there is a rapidly growing western acceptance and embracing of energy medicine and alternative modalities to enable the body’s flow of ‘chi’ being widely integrated into many western practices globally. Somadome’s Research Advisory Board has conducted research into this field and written a working white paper on the matter, as well as a high-level overview of this field’s evolution. There is no known scientific device that can measure ‘energy’ per se, however the closest technology on the planet that has been developed to be able to do so measures ‘krillin’ waves. It is a Russian device, called a ‘gauss meter.’ Somadome has conducted independent research using this device and has verified its integration of magnetic therapy and microcrystalline tiles does mitigate and minimize the interior space’s emission of EMF while inside the Somadome.

No, the dome is designed to mitigate radiation.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an energy medicine system. Acupuncture, a core medical practice within TCM, claims to modify energy flow in the body and thus restore health and balance. There is evidence from placebo controlled trials that acupuncture can modulate heart-rate variability [Anderson et al, 2012], evidence from imaging studies that it can effect deep cortical structures that are not limited to the somatosensory cortex affected by needles, and may modify the “default mode network,” a background of mental activity in the brain [Hui et al 2000, 2010]. There is also evidence that acupuncture points on the skin have low electrical impedance compared to non-acupuncture points and are anatomically associated with connective tissue planes [Han et al, 2010]. Other traditional medical systems, including Ayurvedic medicine, Tibetan medicine, traditional Incan medicine, ancient Egyptian medicine, and ancient Greek medicine held a similar view that disease is caused primarily by blockages in energy flow. In more modern times, one will often hear discussions involving the term “quantum,” for example, to describe how homeopathic remedies are purported to affect disease through energetic reorganization of the body’s water molecules. Collectively, these traditional forms of energy medicine are core beliefs for billions of people, and often represent an unmet need by western physicians who are unable to speak to patients with an understanding of their point of view.

Within mainstream American medicine, there are accepted treatments which overlap the boundaries of energy medicine. For example, pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEFT) has been FDA approved since 1979 for the indication of improving bone fracture [Midura et al, 2005] and has been used off label to control pain, inflammation and sleep disorders. TENS devices have been used routinely since the 1970s to control pain by providing stimulating pulses to the skin. Electroencephalograms (EEG) and electrocardiograms (ECG/EKG) operate diagnostically through amplification of electric fields summed from the biochemical potentials generated by their cellular networks. More recently, doctors have begun to write guidelines for using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and ultrasound to treat insomnia, inflammation, and pain, and TMS has shown substantial effect at improving outcomes in treatment resistant depression that has failed pharmacotherapy [Fitzgerald et al 2014]. Transcranial direct stimulation (tDCS) is being used in a number of IIa clinical trials to reduce tinnitus, enhance learning, and reduce cognitive symptoms of aging and multiple sclerosis. and A randomized, double-blinded and sham-controlled study has shown that tDCS energy treatments reduced symptoms of fibromyalgia for up to three weeks following a single treatment [Fregni et al 2006].

At Somadome we encourage readers to examine the growing evidence and indications for use of non-invasive energetic methods of medical treatment, for example for pain [Connell et al 2011], and understand what they have, and have not yet, been shown to treat.

We know they work because acupuncturists and other healers around the world have successfully been using magnets in their practices. This is hardly unprecedented – medical history is replete with examples of successful treatments and healing modalities that have been used before we have had theories to explain their mechanism of action. Under the tutelage of Dr. Norman Suhu of New York City (and a member of the Somadome Research Advisory Board) acupuncturists have been using them around the world in lieu of needles, planning them on acupuncture points and experienced tremendous success, often getting better results than with needles. A number of acupuncturists have abandoned needles in favor of magnets. Other medical and healing practitioners have also been experimenting with magnets. Somadome is looking for a research partner to run a double-blind test on a Somadome with magnets and a Somadome without magnets to assess the efficacy of the magnets in impacting users’ states of health and well being.

Colors create electrical impulses in our brains, which stimulate hormonal and biochemical processes in our bodies. Different colors cause different hormonal, or chemical reactions, in our body. Color therapy utilizes different colors to promote mental and physical benefits.

The colors of the dome have been carefully selected to complement the goal of each Somadome session. White promotes balance and harmony. Violet is the color of transformation, promotes creativity and manifestation. Green stimulates inner peace and promotes physical healing. Light blue is cooling, calming, and alleviates stress. Dark blue is deeply relaxing and improves the ability to communicate.

Yes, this is possible. Please contact us to make arrangements. Depending on the volume you intend to bring to your market, we can help establish much more feasible margins and enable containers shipped directly to you.

After Delivery & Installation, we will set up a call to walk you through our Market Portal, which includes all the marketing, operations, training resources and assets you will need, as well as access to our research links and white papers. For market-facing domes, we invite your involvement in our ongoing community of business owners/operators to share best practices, and plug into our social efforts to promote your business.

Our goal is to ensure that Somadome is accessible to everyone. To achieve this, we have a selection of refurbished domes available at prices below the market rate. Additionally, we offer financing and credit options as alternatives. For further details, please feel free to contact us.

Yes. We work with two financing institutions nationally that enable qualifying businesses and individuals to finance their purchase of the dome.The minimum credit requirements for an established business (2 ½ years in business) to apply for financing reads as follows:

• At least 2 ½ years in business
• 700 Minimum Credit Score
• Sec of State Registration Active and in Good Standing
• No Outstanding Liens / Judgments
• All partners must complete the application
• Most recent 3 months bank statements (no more than 2 NSFs or Neg Daily Balances in 90 days)

Start Up businesses require a different underwriting process and are capped at 36-to-48-month terms.

The interest rate, terms and monthly payments are driven by the overall credit profile ranging from A-D. Terms range from 24 to 60 months based on credit profile.

Because there are so many variables involved we can’t really list certain benchmarks as they can vary depending on the full picture of a customer’s situation. For example, someone with an 800 FICO may not have favorable criteria elsewhere and get declined or a higher rate than someone with a 700 FICO who has a better overall profile.

Given the unique nature of each individual’s credit profile, we believe there is no single definition for “good credit.” However, we find that individuals with good credit usually share the following characteristics:

• Several years of credit history.
• A credit history with a variety of account types such as major credit cards (for example, Visa, MasterCard, Amex), installment debt (vehicle loans) and mortgage debt if applicable.
• A good payment history with few, if any, delinquencies or other problems repaying debt obligations.
• An ability to save evidenced by some or all of the following; liquid assets (stocks, bonds, bank deposits, etc.), cash down payments on real estate, retirement savings, and manageable revolving credit card debt.
• Stable and sufficient income and assets to repay current debt obligations and any new loan.

Finally, it should be noted again that each individual profile is different and that we make our credit decision based on the specific facts of that profile. Ultimately our determination of good credit is based on whether we conclude that there is a high likelihood that our loan will be repaid in a full and timely manner.

To apply, we would need a completed application, a quote, and most recent 3 months business bank statements. Please contact us to learn more.

Yes, please reach out to us for specifics. We have a discounted price available if you are buying more than one dome. If you want to purchase 2 domes, we offer a 5% discount on the MSRP and 10% if you order 3.

We are designed 100% in the US. Our manufacturing partner is an American company whose current manufacturing facility, as the dome is an injection-molded product, is located in China.

Children are the most stressed and anxiety ridden group, the Pods 4 Peace program supports their mental health and makes the Somadome accessible to them. Contact us to match your dome with a school or a related organization. You may also suggest one. The process is pretty straightforward. Once we have confirmed the destination of your dome, we coordinate the pick up, shipping, and delivery of your dome. This additional cost can be covered by you as the donor, for an additional qualifying deduction, or the new location may have a small budget to be able to help get your dome to their location. You will receive a tax deductible receipt for the current fair market value of your dome to use for a write-off. Chances are, it will be worth more than $5,000 as we have a very long-term depreciation cycle, in which case we will provide a 3rd party to help assess your dome’s value.

Yes, please contact us to find out what is available. Our used domes are exclusively available for the US market due to the unpacking process they undergo once they are operational, making international shipping more challenging.

Also, used domes do not come with a warranty and no financing options. However, in some cases if you opt for a renewed warranty, they will be equipped with retrofit features. For further details, please feel free to contact us.

It is not our business model to do short-term placements as this taxes us operationally and makes no margin for us. However, if it is the right opportunity with potential growth that could be meaningful, we will always consider it a ‘one-off.’

It depends on where you are in the world and if we have a dome in your market that can potentially be briefly placed with you. The terms will depend on the effort it will require us to make a pilot happen and will vary case to case.

Please reach out to us with more information about your pilot and plans.

Please contact us. We may be able to sell your used dome to someone else, or put it into our Pods 4 Peace program. This will enable you to gift your dome at a write-off as you are donating it to a 501(c)3 charitable organization by benefiting youth with the ability to access your dome! Our research done with youth and their feedback from the benefits they are receiving from dome use are profound.

The Somadome is shipped from our warehouse in the Bay Area, California, the nearest port is Port of Oakland, CA USA (USOAK). For orders of more than 10 domes, we may be able to arrange to ship FOB from our manufacturing facility to you directly to receive volume discounts. The dome is shipped fully assembled, and requires help to uncrate and install. It will not, however, fit through a standard single doorway without requiring disassembly. We have both White Glove and Self-Installation .

Please use this guide to estimate your shipping cost for domestic purchases.  Please contact us for international shipping costs.

There are many factors in shipping; timing, volume, weather, connections, etc.. On rare occasions there can be circumstances out of our control and shipments can be delayed. We will work with you to make sure your shipment arrives safely in a timely manner.

Upon shipping your dome, we will provide you with an estimated delivery date and strive to keep you informed with timely updates. Additionally, you will receive a notification on the day of delivery. While we make every effort to be as accurate as possible, various uncontrollable factors such as customs, flight delays (in the case of international shipping), climate conditions, volume, and connections may impede our ability to provide an exact delivery time. However, we are committed to sharing any relevant updates we receive along the way. Please feel free to contact us for any concerns or inquiries you may have.

Yes.
To date, we’ve successfully sold and shipped domes to the U.A.E, South Africa, UK, Denmark, Spain, Austria, Portugal, Russia, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Australia, China, Thailand, and Japan, and we are entering more markets rapidly. Where would you like to ship to? Please contact us to learn more.

Duties & taxes are determined by and vary widely by country. It is highly suggested you work with a customs broker for the calculation of duties and taxes owed and to ensure the smooth importation of your Somadome into your country. We will be happy to connect you with a customs broker to work with for your region.

No, it is classified as furniture; there are no FDA regulations or medical contraindications for using the Somadome, or medical waivers required.

First, a room is static, it can’t be moved. It is possible to use that room, offer a service in it and monetize the space. The dome can go into your waiting room, your hallway, or gym.

Second, it is the sacred space itself that matters. In the dome, one is comfortable, safe and feels held. Their mind is cleared from distractions. They are in a private sanctuary just for themselves.

Third, the dome is designed specifically to enable every ‘soma,’ every ‘self’ to go within. To go deep. To reach their inner voice and hear messages. It’s not just the lights, energy, and sound. Every aspect of the design has been tuned to create the optimal meditative experience. How the body is supported, the angle of sight, the placement of the energy magnet, the geometric patterns of both the interior and exterior, and how the hardware and software of the dome blends the healing modalities to guide users deep into the state of their choosing.

Domes are healing structures. Like pyramids, they create energetic vortexes around them, inside they give the feeling of infinite space. A sense of escape from the outside world. OUR earth is one giant magnet, part of a larger healing Universe and grand interconnection. We are all a part of this.

The magnets in the base of the dome, their configuration, in combination with lights, beats and sounds, correlate to specific goals. While in this comfortable and serene cocoon, one is able to go deep. The body’s ability to heal from stress response is activated by the synergy of going deep into theta, or delta – the body’s circadian rhythms. It is in the dome where one can go deep – to be able to truly recover and emerge with more energy, more balance and more presence.

We have a global community of dome hosts across 18 different countries and many types of business environments. We offer quarterly community calls through our Facebook group, to share success stories, best practices, new developments, and more. All of our market-facing domes are listed on our “Find A Dome” grid on our website and app and we’re soon to launch ‘perks’ functionality that will allow our market-facing domes to market to our user base by offering special perks to drive traffic.

Every new dome host will receive a kit of marketing materials including brochures, a lookbook, a marketing poster, and a reference guide for staff to effectively sell sessions. We also have a library of high-resolution photos and videos for use on your website and social media. Plus, we follow and engage with all of our dome owners across Facebook, Instagram, and Tik Tok. Lastly, your dedicated account manager will provide an initial marketing
consultation during your onboarding to understand your business’s current offerings, how to package sessions with other offerings, and help you determine pricing. They’re always available on an ongoing basis to help you market your dome.

We have worked hard to create our brand, and although we realize each and every dome will live in its own unique ‘home’ – which is your brand and culture, we appreciate you respecting our existing messaging and brand identity as you work to integrate your Somadome into your business, work space, or home. We therefore require approval before any marketing or brand modifications are made to the Somadome brand or promotional materials you may decide to develop and disseminate; and hope that those we have created will enable you to have a rich platform from which to begin. Please contact us directly to brainstorm, or for any help editing and marketing as you reference our library of branding guidelines,

Most of our dome hosts price their sessions between $25-$45 depending on their market. This equates to an average of $1,500-$3,000 in revenue generated per month.

On average we find our dome hosts make between $1,500 and $3,000 per month. Use our ROI calculator to estimate.

Please contact support or Please document any damage. One of our technicians will reach out to troubleshoot and fix your dome ASAP. You can also access our troubleshooting guide here .

The user simply sits in the dome, puts on the headphones, selects their desired session on the touch screen, and closes the dome. Their eyes can be open or closed, whichever is most comfortable for them. At the end of the session, a bell will chime and the dome color will turn to white, gently alerting them that the session has ended. Please refer to our Picking a session video and session guide

You will want to have a basic system to track the time if the dome is not visible from where your staff is located. Setting a timer for 20 minutes is useful in this case. Once the session has ended (the dome turns white), you can gently open the dome for you or your customer. Be careful not to startle your customer as most users will be coming out of a deep meditative state and in some cases have fallen asleep. Please refer to our User Experience Guide

No, it is not a requirement.

Yes it is possible to place the Somadome outside but the Somadome should not be placed in direct sunlight as it can impact the experience. The life of the dome is longer when kept out of the elements. The metal is coated and should not rust easily. You can protect your dome by keeping it in a clear, clean, cool and dry space.

The dome does not have any special power requirements and it is designed to work with all of the world’s major voltages. If you are outside of the US, we will provide you with the appropriate outlet adapter to ensure your dome can easily be plugged into your existing outlets at no additional cost.

As for modifying the outlet for you specifically, it will be hard to do so for just one dome. Were we to have a larger quantity in your region, however, we would most definitely be able to do this.

Yes.

Simply restart the power strip and allow the app to reboot. The controller and LEDs will automatically cycle on. You can also plug into a power strip or external surge protector to protect the electronics. If you have any issues, contact us.

No. The Somadome doesn’t produce any measurable heat and does not require any external air or ventilation system. It has an optional fan / ventilation system inside the dome which the user can optionally select during their session.

Yes, the power supply of the Somadome has BIS, BSMI, CB, CCC, CE, cULus, EAC, GS, KC, PSE, RCM, SIRIM certifications/approvals.

We suggest a minimum floor space of 5’x7’.

The dome does not need its own treatment room, many of our dome hosts have their domes in waiting areas or otherwise underused spaces. We’ve found that in general, the more visible the dome is, the more attention it receives from customers.

The metal base is powder coated and smooth and will not scratch the floor. If you are concerned you can use furniture glides or place the Somadome on a rug or carpeted area.

Yes, many domes are part of corporate wellness programs.

The dome will need to be disassembled and reassembled. Our self installation guide will walk you through the process and includes a video. Our technicians are also available to hop on a call to support you.

This is dependent on many factors. To be safe, we schedule a six-hour installation window.

If you prefer to not install the Somadome yourself, we will send one of our certified technicians to install it for you. This is an additional cost of $2,000 USD.

We provide video support with our technician and Self installation guide. If you have experience putting boxed furniture together and can turn on a computer it should be no problem. If you are unsure please contact us.

The Somadome is built to last and should be treated like a fine piece of furniture. In order to keep it functioning properly please do not put anything on top of the dome and keep the immediate space around it clean & clear.

It should always remain plugged-in as powering the Somadome on and off disrupts the app and requires more overall power usage. The LEDs use very little power when in a standby state.

Our market is growing and we are currently building a community of field techs. If we don’t have one in your market yet, we would be happy to provide training. Our Somadome technicians are always available to hop on a video call. Any issue that could possibly arise can be resolved by any qualified technician in your market, with our supervision. Any part that could need updating, repair or replacing could either be sourced readily from global suppliers such as Alibaba or Amazon, or otherwise shipped to you from us directly. Any software updates needed can be pushed remotely via WiFi. Please contact us to learn more.

We have qualified field technicians throughout the world on every continent, if needed someone is never more than a short flight or ride away, however most of any issue that can occur with your dome can be resolved through virtual support and our guiding you. Our main service and distribution center is in our warehouse in the Bay Area, California. We are working to set up a distributor network in various markets as well to enable direct shipping, particularly to the East.

Currently we contact you when it is time to update. In the future we plan to have updates available through our App. Please keep your contact information current so you don’t miss out.

Yes of course. 😉 We’re continually improving upon our hardware and software which means that, like all technology products, your Somadome hardware or software may eventually need to be updated or upgraded. If an electronic part on your dome breaks and we have since discontinued use of that component, we may need to upgrade or “retrofit” your hardware to the current system that is in use. For example, we are currently working to further improve our touch screen and control system to not only make it more robust to stand up to heavy use, but to also begin introducing new software features to enhance the Somadome experience. When this system is ready, we will let our current dome owners know that the upgrade is available and at what cost their dome can be upgraded for. Current dome owners may want to upgrade to improve upon their dome, or keep their current system if it is working well for them. We will always provide our dome owners with all of their available options.

We do not mark up our parts or service costs and will always quote you what our cost is. We will always provide a resolution to any problem your dome is having at no cost to you during your warranty period and only charge our costs when your dome is outside of the warranty period. If an electronic part on your dome breaks and we have since discontinued use of that component, we may need to upgrade or “retrofit” your hardware to the new system. At that time we will provide you a quote for the total cost, if outside of warranty, and have a Somadome technician complete the retrofit for you if necessary. We always strive to make a part replacement or retrofit as easy as possible and at the lowest possible cost to you. If a part can be easily replaced by you without one of our technicians needing to come on-site, we will always advise you to take that option and we will guide you virtually through the repair or retrofit at no-extra cost to you.

We plan on your dome working mechanically well for a very long time! We have confidence in our manufacturing partner, Land America. They have built their reputation over many years manufacturing high quality brands such as Stairmaster, Schwinn, and Precor.

Our oldest domes are our market entry ones and they are still running. They were prototypes and used to test the market as we set up to scale production and are from 2014-2016. All domes can be retrofitted if they have any issues. We believe domes will last a lifetime as long as they aren’t subjected to abuse. Every part of it could be repaired or replaced if damaged. Please see warranty info above.

Currently the oldest dome is eight years old and still going strong. We have a lot of happy home references and testimonials from our users. Please contact us if you are looking for something specific.

The warranty is 6 months on the electronics (tablet, headphones, lights) and 5 years on the mechanical hardware. Within this period we will service and replace parts using our technicians at no cost to you. After that we will provide these services and parts at-cost. We will always strive to provide technical support to you at the lowest possible cost. Our technicians are available to hop on calls for virtual assistance and if you have capable maintenance technicians onsite that could work with our field technicians we are happy to train them. In many cases, this would then reduce service costs compared to having our technician fly out to do a given repair.

No, however we can provide at cost for you with the purchase of your dome.

Since the dome is still fully functional and a scratch is caused by some sort of accident, a scratch is not considered a malfunction of the part, therefore it is not covered by warranty. What you can do is clean any dirt or scuff marks that are in the scratch of the acrylic. This can be done using an alcohol wipe or rubbing alcohol and a rag. Once the scratch has been cleaned out as much as possible, take a standard/classic toothpaste such as Colgate Cavity Protection and apply a dab of it to the scratch, as you would a wax, and rub it into the scratch in a circular motion. Then take a dry piece of your rag and buff out the paste. This should help to further clean and fill in the scratch.

Donations are usually tax deductible. If you have an old or new dome you would like to donate to a particular school or to the program please contact us.

We have recently launched a “Partner Referral” program, allowing you to receive a $1,000 reward for each successful referral resulting in a sale. Additionally, we will extend a $500 discount off the MSRP to your client/referral, potentially amounting to a total savings of up to $1,500 off our regular price of $15,000 or $13,500 for one of your referrals.

Please contact us to match your dome with a school or a related organization of your choice. The process is pretty straightforward. Once we have confirmed the destination of your dome, we coordinate the pick up, shipping, and delivery of your dome. This additional cost can be covered by you or the new location. You will receive a tax deductible receipt for the current value of your dome.

The Somadome is our ‘Cadillac’ and nothing will ever compare to the quality of the comfort and design of the Somadome. The SomaHome is designed for private use and will be offered at a lower price point, not used to sell sessions, It will have the same core experience and aesthetic, but be much lighter weight and less durable. It will be roughly 1/3 the MSRP of the Somadome, and will operate through our app, which we plan to launch by late 2024.

The SomaHome will operate through our mobile app and will have a growing content library. The Somadome operates locally, with limited, premium content of 20 minutes in length. The SomaHome will offer a variety of limited content that is complementary and included with the SomaHome, and the option to upgrade to premium content for a small monthly subscription, for the Home Domer.

All domes have on-board control boards that talk to our app – whether it’s the local app operating on the local touchscreen onboard the Somadome, or the app operating through our mobile app. This enables users to talk to the dome’s board through the mobile app to access premium content not operating locally in the Somadome onboard content library.
