How long does it take?
Float sessions are either 60 or 90 minutes (ask if you want to do longer).
Pressotherapy lasts for 30 minutes.
Massage Chair sessions last for 30 minutes.
For float sessions, it's advisable to set aside at least the duration of your float plus an additional half hour. Upon arrival, you'll receive a brief explanation about how the process works and what to expect during your float. Before entering the float tank, it's important to take a quick shower to remove any makeup or natural oils from your skin. You'll be left to the privacy of your float room to enjoy the float tank for 60 or 90 minutes. Ambient music will play inside the tank for the first few minutes then again a few minutes before the end of your session. Once your float is over, you'll take another shower to rinse off any remaining salt water, get dressed and take some time to reorient yourself. After your session, you’re welcome to relax in the reception area, where hot and cold drinks are available to order if you wish. You're then free to continue your day. We recommend arriving 10 to 15 minutes early to give yourself time to settle in.
What do I need to bring with me?
You have the option to bring your own towel or rent one for £4. Standard foam earplugs are provided, but you can upgrade to reusable silicone earplugs for £2. Shampoo and shower gel are included. If you use any beauty products that you’d like to reapply afterward, be sure to bring them along, as you'll need to wash them off before floating. You’re also welcome to bring a swimsuit if you prefer to wear one during your float. Most importantly, bring an open mind and a readiness to release the tension from both your body and mind.
Can I float if I'm prone to claustrophobia?
Don’t be discouraged by the idea of floating—the tank is quite spacious, measuring 6’2” tall, 9’9” long, and 4’9” wide. You are in control at all times and can enter or exit the tank whenever you like. The door is never locked and can be easily pushed open. If you need reassurance, you can leave the room or call for a staff member at any time. Floating can even help you challenge and overcome mild claustrophobia in a calm and controlled setting. However, if you have a severe case of claustrophobia, flotation therapy might not be the best option for you.
A few things to keep in mind:
• You can stop and leave the tank at any time if you choose.
• There is always someone on-site to answer questions or provide reassurance.
• The tank door can be opened and you can exit whenever you want.
• If you prefer, you can float with the tank door open.
• You have full control over the entire experience.
• You will have complete privacy in the float room, and no one will enter unless you request it.
How is the water kept clean?
The saltwater in the float tank is meticulously filtered between each session using high-capacity pumps (5,000 liters per hour) and a 1-micron filter, which is 1/100th the diameter of a human hair. To ensure cleanliness, the water is sanitised with a small amount of H2O2 and a UV light within the tank to eliminate any potential bacteria. To help maintain the water's purity, please make sure to remove any beauty products from your face and hair before your float. The initial shower is designed to wash away natural oils and dead skin from your body. Additionally, please avoid floating with recently dyed hair, as the clean-up process can be costly.
How many float tanks do you have?
We have two float tanks in two seperate float rooms.
Is there an age restriction?
To be able to use the floatation tank, you must be at least 18 years old. You may be asked for identification on arrival.
Why do I need to shower before and after?
It's nothing personal—our goal is to maintain the highest quality and cleanliness of the saltwater solution. To help with this, we ask that you take a quick rinse before entering the tank. Even if you’ve already showered that day, some oils and dead skin cells may still be on your body that need to be washed off. Hair gels, makeup, and body sprays can leave residue on the water’s surface, so please ensure you remove these products. After your float, showering will refresh your skin and wash away most of the excess salt.
Is there anyone who shouldn't float?
To use the floatation tank, you must:
a) Read, understand, and agree to our terms and conditions.
b) Be able to climb in and out of the tank unaided (similar to climbing into a bath).
c) Not be under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or illegal substances.
Please avoid using the floatation tank if you:
a) Suffer from incontinence, nausea, epilepsy, or psychotic episodes.
b) Have a history of frequent ear infections.
c) Have been medically advised against floating.
d) Have severe injuries, open wounds, or are bleeding.
e) Have an acute skin condition.
f) Wear a pacemaker or have a serious heart condition.
Are earplugs essential during my float session?
Wearing earplugs during your float will help prevent salt from getting into your ears and block out any external sounds. While it's not mandatory to use them, it is recommended. Floating without earplugs is safe, but you might experience minor discomfort from the salt afterward. If you decide not to use earplugs, we suggest giving your ears a thorough rinse in the shower afterward. Reusable silicone earplugs are available for £2.
Is there a danger of drowning?
Even if you fall deeply asleep, which is quite common, you will continue to float effortlessly on the water's surface. The high salt density ensures exceptional buoyancy, making it very difficult to accidentally turn over. With the water being just 10 inches deep, you’ll find the sensation of floating unique and hard to describe until you experience it firsthand. The entire process is designed to be completely effortless.
Should I eat or drink before I float?
It's best to avoid eating a large meal right before your float, as a gurgling stomach might be distracting. Similarly, being too hungry can also be uncomfortable. Try to eat at least an hour or two before your session. For drinks, avoid caffeine, alcohol, and energy drinks. Ideally, stick to water, as floating can lead to slight dehydration.
Are there any negative side effects?
Typically, floating is very safe, but occasionally, first-time users may experience mild nausea or dizziness after their session. This is often due to the release of built-up stress from the body. Overall, floating remains one of the safest and most relaxing activities you can experience.
Will there be music playing?
The choice is yours. Typically, relaxing music plays in the tank for the first 5-10 minutes to help you ease into the experience. This music will gradually fade out, allowing you to enjoy complete peace and quiet. While it might take a little time to adjust to the silence, many people come to appreciate it deeply. If you prefer, we can also play soothing ambient music throughout your float.
Can I float if I'm menstruating?
Yes, but please use appropriate sanitary products, such as tampons or a menstrual cup.
