Take a look at what our customers often ask.
Should I prepare myself somehow?
What is good to know:
As it is very much a private experience, most of the people choose to not wear anything while floating. Any clothing or swimsuits pressure your body in the water and are usually just a distraction.
Do I need to bring anything?
No, just yourself. Towels, slippers, earplugs, and everything else you need are provided.
What if I'm claustrophobic?
People with claustrophobia consistently report no problems with floating. You're always in control of your environment. The space can be closed, but does not need to be. It is possible to keep the light on and doors slightly open if one wishes. Floating is also used as a form of therapy to cure claustrophobia.
Is it safe to fall asleep?
Yes. Some people do fall asleep, but the water is so buoyant you stay afloat. The worst that can happen is getting woken up by bit of salt water in your eyes.
How are the tanks kept clean?
The highly sterile salt water is fully filtered three times between float sessions and is sanitised with UV light. Float tank is quite a bit cleaner than jacuzzis or public pools.
How old is floating therapy?
Floating has been around for over 60 years, and has lot of published research to back it up.
Can anyone float?
No. It is not suggested to float if you have epilepsy, schizophrenia, kidney disease or severe skin problems. It is prohibited to use drugs or alcohol before or during the session. Although it is quite safe to float while pregnant, we still strongly suggest to consult your doctor in advance.
Should I prepare myself somehow?
What is good to know:
- If you shave, even many hours, before floating session, it is possible that your skin will tingle due to the high concentration of salt next to freshly shaved skin. If possible, try to plan the floating session so that your skin is not freshly shaved.
- If you use contact lenses, it is best to remove them before going into the floating tank as it is possible that the salty water gets into your eyes by accident.
- Stimulants like coffee or tea could prevent you to relax, it is better to avoid stimulants before the floating session.
