What is vibroacoustic therapy?
Vibroacoustic therapy uses calibrated sound frequencies and low-frequency vibration delivered directly through the body. By combining precisely engineered sound with physical vibration, felt through the surface you're lying on, vibroacoustics can encourage the body and mind to become more relaxed, calm or focused. The effect is felt physically, not just psychologically.
How long has vibroacoustic therapy been around?
The scientific study of vibroacoustic therapy dates back to the 1970s and was pioneered by Norwegian researcher Olav Skille. It has been researched across a wide range of clinical and wellness contexts. Onizion was built on this foundation. We didn't invent the science; we built an exceptional way to experience it.
What has vibroacoustic therapy been studied for?
Vibroacoustic therapy has been studied in relation to anxiety, stress, chronic pain, sleep difficulties, ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, post-operative recovery, and general nervous system regulation. While Onizion is a wellness product, not a medical device, the body of research behind the approach is broad and spans decades.
What does a session feel like?
Most people describe it as deeply immersive, with a sense of being inside the music rather than simply listening to it. The combination of vibration and sound creates a physical experience that is at once grounding and calming. Many users report feeling calmer, more present, and as if they have had a full meditation or deep massage experience, in as little as a ten-minute session. You can read what some of our users have said on our testimonials page.
How is Onizion different from a sound bath or meditation app?
A sound bath is an ambient, shared experience, usually in an open room without headphones. A meditation app relies on your ability to focus and concentrate. Onizion is different on both counts. The vibration is delivered physically through the bed, so you feel it in your body, not just through your ears. The effect doesn't depend on your state of mind or ability to sit still. You simply lie down, put the headphones on, and let the system do the work.
What is included with the Onizion bed?
Your Onizion bed comes with everything you need from day one: the bed itself, professional studio-grade over-ear closed-back headphones, a custom carry case, power cable, and a one-year subscription to the Onizion app with a curated library of music and soundscapes designed to support your intended outcomes.
How does the Onizion bed work?
The bed contains proprietary electronic components, developed by our audio specialists, that translate audio signals into precise low-frequency vibrations. When you lie on the bed and play a track from the Onizion app through headphones, the sound is simultaneously delivered through your ears and the surface of the bed as physical vibration. These two elements work together to create the vibroacoustic effect.
How do I set up my bed?
Setup takes just a couple of minutes. Take the bed out of its carry case, lay it flat on the floor, and plug it into any standard electrical socket. Plug in the headphones, download the Onizion app, and pair via Bluetooth. Then lie down, select a track, and you're ready.
How long does a session last?
Sessions in the Onizion app range from around 10 to 45 minutes depending on the track. Many people start by taking a 10-minute session and adjust from there. There is no minimum or maximum duration recommended.
Do I need to use headphones?
Yes. The headphones are an essential part of the Onizion system. The combination of audio delivered through the ears and vibration felt through the body is what produces the immersive vibroacoustic effect. The studio-grade closed-back headphones included with your bed are specifically chosen for this purpose.
How do I get access to the app?
A one-year subscription to the Onizion app is included with every bed. Instructions for downloading and activating your subscription can be found in the box with your bed and headphones. After the first year, your subscription can be renewed, and you'll receive a reminder near the end of the first year.
How much does the Onizion bed cost?
The first-generation Onizion bed is priced at £TBC including UK delivery. This includes the bed, headphones, carry case, cables, and a one-year app subscription.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept debit cards, credit cards, Apple Pay, and Revolut Pay, as well as Klarna, through our secure checkout.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes, you can pay in instalments using Klarna, if Klarna is available in your country. The option to use Klarna will be shown to you at checkout.
Is my pre-order payment refundable?
Yes. We comply with the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations, which gives you 14 days from the receipt of your Onizion bed to tell us if you want to return it. You then have 14 days to ship it back to us. It must be properly packaged and in a resalable condition. Full details are included in your Onizion delivery box. Please contact us at info@onizion.com with any additional questions.
Where do you ship to?
We can send an Onizion bed anywhere that our shipping providers can reach from the UK. The price of your Onizion bed includes UK delivery. Non-UK deliveries will incur an additional charge, which is calculated at checkout.
When will my bed be delivered?
UK delivery for first-generation beds is scheduled for December 2026. The beds are currently in production, and we'll keep you updated on your bed's progress.
How will I know when it's being delivered?
We'll contact you directly with tracking information and a delivery window as soon as your bed is dispatched.
What shipping method will you use?
Your bed will be delivered by a courier service. Given the size and value of the Onizion beds, we use tracked, insured delivery. Full details will be confirmed closer to your delivery date.
Can my family use the bed too?
Yes, anyone in your household can use the Onizion bed. We'd recommend each person spends a little time exploring the app library to find the tracks and session lengths that work best for them. Headphone volume and bed vibration levels should be checked and set appropriately for each user prior to their session beginning.
How often should I use it?
There's no fixed rule. Many users find that one session a day, particularly in the morning or before bed, produces noticeable results. Others use it as needed, whenever they feel overwhelmed or over-stimulated. The bed is designed to be part of your daily routine, not a treatment programme.
Do I need any special space or power supply?
No specialist requirements. The bed plugs into any standard UK domestic socket and can be folded away into its carry case when not in use, so it doesn't need a dedicated room. A quiet, comfortable space is ideal, but not essential.
Is vibroacoustic therapy safe?
Vibroacoustic therapy has been studied safely across a wide range of people. The Onizion bed is designed for home use and operates within safe frequency ranges. As with any wellness product, you should consult your doctor before use if you have any concerns, are pregnant, claustrophobic, have a pacemaker, have any other health conditions — including seizures — or have any physical injuries.
Is it suitable for neurodivergent people?
Onizion was founded by a neurodivergent person, and nervous system regulation is at the heart of what we do. Vibroacoustic therapy has been specifically studied in relation to ADHD and autism spectrum conditions, and many of our early testers are neurodivergent. The experience is sensory-rich but controlled, as the vibration and sound work together in a way that many neurodivergent users find deeply grounding.
Are there any contraindications I should know about?
We recommend avoiding use or consulting your doctor before use if you have a cardiac pacemaker, are pregnant, have recently had surgery, have active DVT or thrombosis, have a history of seizures, or any other medical concerns.
Is it suitable if I have a medical condition?
Onizion is a wellness product, not a medical device, and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any condition. If you have a medical condition, please speak to your doctor before use. Many people with chronic conditions find vibroacoustic therapy a helpful complementary wellness practice, but individual circumstances vary and medical guidance should always come first.

Yes. We work with wellness practitioners, clubs, and organisations who want to offer vibroacoustic therapy to their clients or members. If you're interested in adding Onizion to your practice or venue, we'd love to talk. Get in touch at info@onizion.com.
Do you work with hotels, spas, or gyms?
