Empire Kove Ice Bath Large – Cedar Wood Cold Plunge with 304 Stainless Steel Liner & Step Ladder | KOVE-ICE2

Reclined Cold Immersion for Deeper Recovery

The KOVE Oval Cedar Ice Bath is designed for those who prefer a reclined, full-body cold plunge rather than an upright seated position. Its elongated oval shape allows you to lean back naturally, fully immerse the body, and stay relaxed for longer cold exposure.

Crafted from real cedar wood with a hygienic 304 stainless steel inner liner and band, this premium ice bath blends traditional materials with modern durability — making it ideal for both home wellness spaces and professional recovery environments.

Ergonomic Design & Immersion Comfort

Designed for a Reclined Cold Plunge Experience

Unlike traditional barrel-style ice baths that keep you upright, the oval design supports a more natural, laid-back posture. This reduces pressure through the neck, hips, and shoulders, allowing you to focus on controlled breathing and recovery rather than discomfort.

The result is a calmer, deeper, and more immersive cold therapy session — especially beneficial for experienced users and longer plunges.

Materials, Build & Hygiene

Premium Cedar Exterior & Stainless Steel Interior

The exterior is crafted from cedar wood, chosen for its natural resilience and timeless appearance in cold plunge environments. Inside, a smooth 304 stainless steel liner and band provide a corrosion-resistant, hygienic surface that is easy to clean and built for frequent use.

A fitted cover is included to help protect the water between sessions and support better temperature retention.

Natural Wood Character

Each KOVE wooden ice bath is individually crafted and entirely unique. Natural variations in grain and tone are part of the material’s character and make every unit one of a kind.

The wood is pre-finished to develop a deeper, richer tone over time. We recommend ongoing treatment with Danish oil to preserve the wood and enhance its natural depth.

Ease of Use & Compatibility

Comfortable, Safe Access

The included double-layer step provides stable, secure entry and exit, making this ice bath suitable for regular daily use in both home and professional environments.

Chiller Compatible (Optional)

The KOVE Oval Ice Bath is designed for traditional ice-and-water plunging. For users who want precise temperature control, compatible chiller systems are available separately.

Our team can help recommend the right setup for your space, usage frequency, and recovery goals.

Use Cases & Selection Guide

Ideal For

• Reclined, full-body cold immersion
• Longer cold exposure sessions
• Post-workout recovery and reduced muscle soreness
• Contrast therapy after sauna sessions
• Gyms, studios, spas, and wellness retreats

Which Ice Bath Is Best for You?

• Round / Barrel Ice Bath: Best if you prefer an upright seated plunge, have limited space, or want a traditional cold immersion experience.
• Oval Ice Bath: Best if you want a more relaxed, reclined position, longer cold exposure, and a calmer, full-body immersion.

Both designs deliver the same cold therapy benefits — the choice comes down to posture, space, and how you prefer to recover.
