Benefits
Open pool floatation offers a powerful combination of physical relief, mental clarity, and deep relaxation. Whether you’re recovering from exercise, managing stress, or simply looking for a moment of calm, floating provides a unique and effective way to reset both body and mind.
Deep Stress Relief
Floatation removes external stimuli, no gravity pressure, no noise, no distractions. Allowing your nervous system to fully relax. This can help reduce stress, calm anxiety, and promote mental clarity.
Improved Sleep
Many people experience deeper, more restorative sleep after floating. The combination of relaxation and magnesium absorption helps the body unwind and reset natural sleep cycles.
Wellness Boost
The high concentration of Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) can support muscle relaxation, circulation, and overall wellbeing.
FAQ
Do I need to know how to swim?
Not at all. The high concentration of Epsom salt allows the body to float effortlessly. Simply lie back and relax — the water naturally supports you.
What should I bring to my session?
You only need to bring yourself. Your session includes everything you need for comfort, including towels, earplugs, and shower amenities. Some guests choose to bring a hairbrush or personal toiletries for after their session.
What should I wear in the tank?
Most guests choose to float without clothing to enjoy complete comfort and freedom. However, wearing a swimsuit is entirely optional if you prefer.
How long is a float session?
A typical session lasts 60 minutes, giving your body and mind enough time to fully settle into a deep state of relaxation
Will I feel claustrophobic?
Our open float environments are designed to be spacious, calming, and fully controllable. You can switch off the lights for the full immersive experience or leave soft lighting if you prefer. Many guests who initially feel unsure quickly find the experience surprisingly comfortable and peaceful.
Is the water clean?
Absolutely. The high salt content naturally inhibits bacteria, and the water is carefully filtered and sanitised between every session using advanced purification systems. Your health and safety are always a top priority.
Can I fall asleep?
Yes, and many people do. The water safely supports your body throughout the entire session, so if you drift into sleep you will continue floating comfortably.
Is floatation therapy safe?
Floatation therapy is considered safe and gentle for most people. If you have a medical condition such as epilepsy, severe skin conditions, or open wounds, we recommend consulting your healthcare professional before booking.
Can I float during pregnancy?
Many expectant mothers enjoy flotation therapy because the buoyancy relieves pressure on joints and the lower back. However, it’s always best to consult your healthcare provider before booking a session.
How often should I float?
Some guests visit occasionally as a treat, while others incorporate floating into their regular wellness routine. Weekly or monthly sessions are popular for those looking to maintain ongoing relaxation and recovery benefits.
What should I do before my session?
For the best experience:
- Avoid caffeine beforehand
- Eat a light meal 1–2 hours before your appointment
- Avoid shaving immediately before floating
- Arrive a little early so you can relax and prepare
How will I feel after the session?
Most guests leave feeling calm, refreshed, and mentally clear. The deep relaxation experienced during floating can create a lasting sense of wellbeing that continues long after the session ends.
