FAQs.

If it’s your first time, don’t worry — we’ll walk you through everything before you begin so you feel completely at ease.

You’ll start with a quick shower, then step into the tank and lie back. Some people fall into a meditative state, others drift off to sleep — many simply enjoy the peace. There’s no right or wrong way to float. Afterward, you’ll likely feel lighter, clearer, and more at ease than you have in a long time.

Floating calms the nervous system, relieves tension, and helps ease anxiety and stress. It’s not just for physical recovery — many people also find greater mental clarity, deeper sleep, and even creative breakthroughs. The effects can last for days after just one session.

Yes, absolutely! Floating during pregnancy can be an incredible way to relieve pressure on your joints and spine, reduce stress, and feel more connected to your baby. We recommend floating between 12–37 weeks and encourage you to check with your GP or midwife if you have any concerns

We go into more depth in our blog post 'Float therapy during pregnancy'.

Nope — it’s not possible. The high concentration of Epsom salt makes the water incredibly buoyant, so your body naturally floats on the surface, even if you drift off. Many people find the experience so deeply relaxing that a quick float nap is one of the best parts.

If you’ve dyed your hair recently, we ask that you wait at least two weeks before floating. This protects your hair and keeps our water crystal clear for everyone.

Yes, you can — we just ask that you take the same precautions you would if you were swimming in a public pool ie. using a tampon or cup.

For your safety, we advise against floating if:

• You have had an epileptic seizure in the last 2 years
• You have a serious heart condition
• You have a contagious illness (like gastro or a cold/flu)
• You have open wounds
• You are incontinent
• You’re under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• You’ve recently used self-tanning products or dyed your hair

If you’re unsure, feel free to check in with us or your healthcare provider before booking.

We’ve got everything you need — towels, earplugs, organic body wash and shampoo/conditioner, and even tea and water for after your float. You might want to bring a brush and a case for your contact lenses, but that’s it!

Nothing at all — floating is best experienced in the nude! Each room is completely private with its own shower and toilet. Swimsuits can sometimes detract from the full sensory experience, so we recommend going without. That said, you’re welcome to wear togs if you prefer — especially if you have limited mobility and may require assistance.

It’s a common concern, but most people find the experience incredibly spacious and freeing. The pods are larger than you might expect — over 2 metres long and 1.5 metres high. You’re always in control and can leave the lid open, use lights, or play music if it helps you relax.

Unlikely — but it can take a session or two to adjust to the stillness. Think of it as a rare chance to unplug and slow down. Many people find it’s a beautiful time to reflect, rest, or even meditate.

Not at all! There’s no one-size-fits-all. Whether you float with the lid open or closed, lights on or off, music or silence — it’s totally up to you. Find what feels good and just go with it.

Absolutely! There are a couple of ways to enjoy floating with someone else:

• Side-by-side floats: We have two private float rooms, so you and a friend can book in at the same time and float separately but together.
• Couples floats: We also offer shared floats where two people float together in the same pod — perfect for couples wanting to share the experience.

To book either option, just check availability online or get in touch with us directly — we’re happy to help you find the best time.

We recommend booking ahead to secure your preferred time. Same-day appointments do pop up occasionally, so feel free to check our website or call us on 03 548 7983 between 10am and 10pm.

Yes! Our Gift Vouchers are a thoughtful and relaxing gift for someone you care about. You can purchase them online or at reception.

We take hygiene seriously. Every customer showers before floating, and the water itself is naturally disinfected thanks to the high salt content. We also add a small amount of food-grade hydrogen peroxide and filter the water through a medical-grade system 4–6 times between sessions.

Not at all. You can hop out at any time — but most people are surprised how fast the hour goes by!

No — the float pod itself does not lock, so you can get out whenever you like.

Yes — each float room is completely private and includes a shower and toilet. You can lock the door and enjoy your session in peace and comfort.

Yes! Both of our float rooms are wheelchair accessible, and we have an accessible toilet onsite. We’re happy to assist you in and out of the pod if needed — or you’re welcome to bring a support person along.

Yes, you can. We recommend feeding or expressing as close to your float as possible so you can fully relax during your session.
