Frequently asked questions
General
Floatation is a unique experience in specious sensory depravation tanks filled with warm water and Epsom Salt / magnesium sulphate. While Epsom Salt provides magnesium absorption and anti-inflammatory proprieties, the effect of zero gravity works wonders for decompressing the spine, releasing tension from muscles and pressure from nerves, combating stiffness in the joints and providing a profound pain relief. It almost feels like you have no body at all!
It's highly effective for high blood pressure, bad back, muscle tension, arthritis, fibromyalgia, sciatica, any chronic pain, strains ,injuries, pregnancy wellbeing and sport recovery.
The lack of sensory input enables a deep meditative state, which effectively regulates your nervous system, switches off "fight or flight mode", and provides a powerful stress, insomnia and anxiety relief.
It's amazing for sensory overload, burnout & problems with concentration.
Don't be misled by the word 'salt': there is big difference between the salt you season your food and the Epson Salt. In fact, they're totally different mineral compounds. Epsom salt is a mineral compound of magnesium and MgSO4 sulphate.
Thanks to the main ingredient, magnesium, it reduces inflammation, flashes out toxins, improves skin, reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes, improves the use of oxygen in cells, reduces the risk of vascular diseases, has a positive effect on the immune system, joint pain and muscle cramps and regulates the action of over 300 enzymes.
In turn, sulphates facilitate the cellular absorption of nutrients, stimulate the digestive functions of the pancreas, help detoxify the body and alleviate headaches and migraines.
Studies have shown that magnesium and sulphate are easily absorbed through the skin, so an Epsom salt bath is the perfect way to enrich your body with these two ingredients.
It's impossible to sink in our tanks, even if you tried! You don't need to be able to swim. Due to the high salt concentration in the water everyone will float, regardless of your size and weight. It is very common and completely fine to fall asleep in the float tank. The water line doesn't approach the mouth or nose and it's nearly impossible to accidently flip over. If you were to turn over, the salt would sting your eyes and wake you. You may call assistance at any time, by pressing assistance button inside the tank. The staff is always present on site to assist you.
Our float tanks are much more hygienic than a swimming pool or hot tub, and without a smell of chlorine. After each client, the water is sanitised and filtered 4 times through 1-micron pool filter that's 100 times thinner than a human hair. It's the finest filtration system of any pod in the world. In addition, the water goes through a UV lamp filter to kill all bacteria. It is also micro-dosed with hydrogen peroxide to further sanitise the water. The water is tested regularly to assure the highest standards of cleanliness.
It's also worth to note that Epsom Salt has natural antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties, and with such a high salt concentration in the water, no pathogenic microorganisms are able to exist in it.
The rooms and pods are deep cleaned everyday and also cleaned and sanitised in between each session.
It's a common worry, but the pods are much bigger than people expect - so big, in fact, that you can stretch out without touching the sides. If you do feel nervous, you can always leave the lid open, or have the inside light on for as long as you like - you're in complete control. Once inside the pod, people are usually surprised at how safe and relaxed they feel.
We have two float tanks, so two people can float at the same time, each in their own private room. We also have one 2-person infrared sauna, one massage chair and one dry-hydrotherapy massage bed.
To book online two people at the same time, don't add 2nd person to the same booking, but make one booking and add it to the basket, and then make another booking and add it to the basket. Once you have two bookings in your basket, you can proceed to checkout.
One Float
A float session is a truly unique experience—often described as feeling like drifting in space. It’s a perfect way to treat yourself or someone special to something both relaxing and unforgettable. Many first-time floaters say they’ve never experienced anything like it, and some even report feeling more relaxed than ever before. For others, it’s the first time in a long while they’ve been free from physical discomfort.
That said, your first float may not be as relaxing as the following ones. Because it’s a new experience, it’s natural to feel a mix of curiosity, excitement, or even slight anxiety. This can make it take a little longer to fully settle into a deep, meditative state.
Your first session is mostly about exploring — finding the most comfortable body position, adjusting the lid or lighting, and getting used to the sensations of weightlessness, silence, darkness and stillness.
You’ll still enjoy immediate benefits like stress relief, better sleep, and temporary pain reduction. However, the deeper, longer-lasting benefits tend to come with repeated sessions.

Introduction Pack – 3 Floats for the Price of 2
To experience the full benefits of floatation—such as meaningful stress reduction, improved sleep, and longer-lasting pain relief—we recommend at least 3–4 sessions.
Your second float is usually easier, as you already know what to expect, allowing you to relax more quickly. By the third session, many people experience a “lightbulb moment”—you settle in faster, reach a deeper level of relaxation, and the time seems to pass much quicker.
Floatation has a cumulative effect. With each session, your body and mind learn to relax more quickly, switch off more deeply, and hold onto the benefits for longer. That’s why we strongly encourage trying at least three floats before deciding if it’s right for you.

For lasting, life-changing results, floatation works best as a regular practice.
Consistent floating helps regulate your nervous system, reduce long-term stress, and lower cortisol levels. Over time, it can significantly improve sleep quality, emotional balance, and overall wellbeing.
The more you float, the more you strengthen your body’s ability to relax. You train your parasympathetic nervous system—helping you stay calmer and more resilient in everyday life. Regular sessions can also support the natural production of endorphins, promoting a more positive mood.
Think of floatation like going to the gym, practicing yoga, or attending therapy—it’s the consistency that creates real transformation.
Our cost-effective memberships make it easier to build this powerful habit into your routine.

There is no simple answer to this question. The frequency of floating really depends on your goals, your lifestyle, and your budget. Generally, you can expect to see more benefits if you float regularly.
As a starting point, we strongly recommend floating at least once a week for the first 3 / 4 sessions. As floating gives cumulative effect, this set of sessions will help you to get used to the experience and train your brain to get into the deep state of relaxation much faster and easier comparing to your initial sessions. Once you are used to it and find it easier to slip to that deep meditative state, you can adjust your frequency to your specific needs.
If you would like to see our rough guide on what frequency is recommended for each situation, visit our blog and click on the post: "How often should I float?"
We recommend avoiding shaving, having heavy meal or drinking caffeine before your session, but you can have a light meal around an half an hour before your float, so you are not hungry while you float.
If you have dyed your hair recently, please wash your hair a few times before coming for a float and ensure your hair run clear under the shower. Hair dye leaked to our float water can permanently stain our float tanks.
Please, avoid coming with self tanner on your skin or with a fresh henna tattoo (it needs to run clear under shower to prevent staining our tanks).
Please, allow 2 weeks for fresh tattoos to heal before coming for a float to prevent stinging from salty water.
We recommend allowing plenty of time for your appointment. For our standard 60 float, we recommend around 2 hours for the whole experience, especially if you would like to spend sometime in our vanity space to fix your make up or dry your hair, or relax after float with complementary herbal tea and cookies.
If you come for the first time, we recommend watching our video with pre-float instructions before coming for your appointment or arriving 15min earlier to fill out the waiver form and to watch the video with pre-float instructions at our spa.
We provide everything you need to enjoy floatation experience: slippers, towels, disposable earplugs, Vaseline, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel to use in the floating room; and a bathrobe to wear if you need to quickly pop in the toilet in the middle of your floating session.
In the Vanity room, you will find hairdryers, deodorants, make up remover, cotton buds and cotton pads, and hair gel. In the relaxation room, you are welcome to have one of our complimentary herbal teas and cookies. You may want to bring your own personal toiletries, make up and hairbrush.
We recommend floating naked to be completely free of sensation - but if you prefer to wear a swimsuit or shorts, remember to bring it in a bag to put them in afterwards.
If you bring your laptop or tablet, ask the staff to put it in the locked storage, as it is not recommended to bring electrical devices into humid float room.
First, you will be greeted by our team member and asked to fill out the waiver, and to take your shoes off before entering floating area. Slippers are provided. Then you will be shown around our spa: your float room, the toilet, the vanity space to use after session for drying hair and make up, and relaxation room to rest after a session. It is advisable to use the toilet before entering your float room, as the high concentration of Epsom Salt in the tanks provides strong detoxifying effect which makes your kidneys work stronger making your use the toilet more often!
Once your are in your float room, fit the ear plugs (provided) and take a quick rinse in the shower.
If you have just shaved, waxed or have any cuts or scratches, dry the skin and then apply a thin layer of Vaseline to the affected skin to prevent itchiness from the salty water (provided).
Climb into the tank and lie down gently, the buoyancy will lift your body up. It is difficult to gauge how relaxed you are whilst floating - but you will notice afterwards!!! Indeed, people with sport injuries or back pain experience some discomfort in the early stages. One's brain focuses on even minor sensations due to near complete lack of "feeling" elsewhere. Bear with it - aches and pains will ebb away. Furthermore, your brain is going to take a while to settle down and you will probably have a lot of "random thoughts" coming out of nowhere at first. This may continue for some time, but don't be frustrated because your body is relaxing regardless. Be patient, you will eventually "drift off".
It usually takes a while to "drift off" on the first session, as we need to get use to the new environment, silence, experiment with different positions. Also, whenever you do any new activity, it requires your brain and body to be more alert for the first 20 to 30min, so it takes longer for your mind and body to settle in your first float. However, on your following sessions it usually takes much faster to "drift off" and your relaxation state gest deeper. We usually recommend trying at least three sessions, as there is huge difference between your fist float and your third float in terms of getting into that deep relaxation state.
Remember that you are in a private room, so you can leave the tank door open if you wish (you may feel a chill if you leave the tank open for the whole hour!), alternatively you can leave it partially open. If you get salt in your eyes there is a bottle of clean water hanging inside.
5min before the end of your session, you will become aware of the music again, indicating session finishing soon. That music will get gradually louder to wake you up in case you fall asleep. Once the music finishes, the light inside the tank will turn off indicating the finish of the session (if it was off during the session).
Once the session finishes, take a shower to wash off all the salty water, making sure you rinse your ears thoroughly, as in rare cases if allowed to crystallise on the eardrum, the salt can cause unpleasant crackling sound in your ears.
After the shower and getting dressed, you can make your way to the Vanity space where you can make your hair and make up. Please take your stuff with you while leaving to the vanity space, so we can enter the float room to clean it for the next client.
In the end, you are welcome to relax with a cup of tea or water, and cookies in our relaxation room.
