House of Deeprelax Review

How we rated House of Deeprelax

House of Deeprelax is sold on a body of guided audio rather than on a piece of technology: more than a hundred sessions built around Non-Sleep Deep Rest, yoga nidra, breathwork and self-hypnosis, written and narrated by the woman who founded the company. The counts, the plan rates and the terms the subscription runs on are published by the company, on its own site and in the listings for the app in the two stores, and this review closes with a dated list of the pages it rests on.

Sessions, language, delivery, price and terms are the five things a reader settles before a subscription is worth taking, and each has its own section and its own score below. The first is read off what the company publishes about its catalogue, the second off a single line in an app store listing, and the last three off the way the app is delivered and the conditions attached to a monthly bill.

Session library and range

The product is a catalogue of guided audio rather than a piece of software, and the company counts it at more than a hundred sessions, meditations and audio guides, running from three minutes to sixty-five. The catalogue is organised by what a session is for as much as by method: sleep, stress, short resets, morning and evening routines, beside the yoga nidra, breathwork and self-hypnosis the app is named for. Every session is written and narrated by the founder, Eliane Bernhard, and the description in the app store repeats the total as more than a hundred and twenty, so the two figures a reader meets on the company’s own surfaces differ by a margin rather than in kind.

A reader can choose a voice, music or both inside a session, and the music is described as carrying binaural beats, which is a detail the company states rather than one that can be checked from outside. What can be checked is the count, and it is published twice with two numbers. Around the sessions, a membership adds guides and a knowledge base, and the company sells home retreats and a book beside the subscription.

4.4 for session library and range. The catalogue is counted, the methods behind it are listed, the narration comes from the person who wrote the sessions, and the length range covers both a five-minute reset and a full wind-down before sleep, while the total is given as one figure on the site and another in the store, and nothing outside the company can audit what is inside it.

Language and audience

Every session is in Dutch. The listing for the app declares one language, Dutch, and nothing else, and the site, the guides, the knowledge base and the support around the subscription are written in the same language. A reader who does not speak Dutch meets a catalogue they cannot follow, and the narration, which is the part that does the work, is not offered in a second language.

The audience the app is built for is the Dutch market, and the figures it publishes are counts of that market. The homepage puts downloads at a hundred thousand and calls the app the number one yoga nidra platform in the country; the description in the app store says more than a hundred and thirty thousand people use the sessions; and the site reports that eighty per cent of its members reach deep relaxation. The first two are counts the company keeps and can be read as such. The third is a percentage with no study named behind it, and a percentage of that kind is where an editorial score has to stop.

2.9 for language and audience. The app is complete in the language it was written in and the material around it is translated nowhere, which is a settled choice rather than a gap, while a listener who has no Dutch has no way into the catalogue at all and the user figures rest on the company’s own counting.

App delivery and offline use

The app is a download rather than a stream. It is listed for iOS from version 15.6 and for Android, and the size the store reports for it is 59.1 megabytes, which is small enough to sit on a phone without a decision about storage. Sessions can be taken offline once they are on the device, and the company lists offline listening among what a membership carries, so a session at bedtime does not depend on a signal.

The sessions are long-form audio with nothing in them that needs a connection while they play, which suits the moment they are made for: a session runs at bedtime or in a quiet hour rather than in front of a screen. Both stores carry the app and the same subscription is sold on the company’s own site, so the route a reader arrives by decides where the account lives, which is what the price section below takes up.

4.5 for app delivery and offline use. The download is small, it is listed for both mobile platforms, and sessions can be kept on the device so a session in the evening does not need a connection, while the subscription behind the app is sold in three separate places and can only be managed in the one it was bought from.

Plans, trials and price

The subscription is sold in three lengths. On the company’s own site it is €5,99 a month, €19,99 every six months and €33,99 a year, and the yearly rate is marked as the one most members choose; in the app store the same three periods are priced at $5.49, $17.99 and $30.99. Each paid plan renews by direct debit until it is stopped, and the company says a website plan may be cancelled straight after signing up to prevent that renewal.

Below the paid plans sit two free routes, and they are not the same thing. A free membership carries six named sessions with a guide, keeps them for good, asks for no payment details and never renews. A trial is the way into a paid plan, and its length is given in more than one place: the cards on the pricing page set it at three days on the monthly rate, seven on the half-year and fourteen on the yearly, while the page built around the free month leads with a month and offers fourteen days in the buttons beside it. The company limits a reader to one trial and says so in a line of its own.

4.3 for plans, trials and price. The monthly rate is low for the size of the catalogue and can be stopped inside a month, the yearly rate works out at €2,85 a month, and the free membership is free in the plain sense of the word, while the trial runs for three, seven, fourteen days or a month depending on the plan and the page, and a subscription taken through a store has to be managed there rather than on the site.

Terms and refund position

The subscription is sold by House of Deeprelax B.V., registered in Amsterdam under KvK number 97837881, and the terms it publishes carry a version date of 11 September 2025. Dutch law governs the agreement and a dispute goes to the Dutch court for the district the company is established in. Renewal is written into the terms as the customer’s responsibility to stop before the next period begins, and a rise in price entitles a customer to end the agreement.

The refund position is the part worth reading twice. Nothing in the terms sets out a cooling-off period for a subscription taken on the site; what they describe is a complaints route, with fourteen days to report a shortcoming once it is noticed. The cards on the pricing page carry a money-back guarantee beside the plans. The guarantee can be taken at its word, and the terms behind it are where a reader checks what the route to a refund actually is.

3.9 for terms and refund position. The company names itself and its registration number, dates its terms and puts the renewal rule where a customer can find it, while the terms stop short of describing a refund and the guarantee printed on the pricing page is left to the complaints route that the terms set out.

Who House of Deeprelax is for

This suits a Dutch speaker who wants a guided way into rest and has found the general meditation apps too slow or too vague, and who would rather hear a session narrated by the person who designed it than pick through a library assembled from many teachers. Someone after a five-minute reset in a working day and someone after an hour before sleep are both served by the same catalogue.

It fits two readers less well. Someone who does not speak Dutch has no way into the catalogue, since the sessions are narrated in one language and no translation is offered, and a service built for that reader will serve them better. Someone who wants to keep using the app beyond the opening sessions will find the free membership stops at six, and the plans behind it renew until they are stopped.
