Essentially, nothing! Floating is such a relaxing & peaceful experience that falling asleep is quite normal. Drowning isn’t a problem thanks to the high density of the solution created by the water & Epsom salt – there’s almost no chance of you being able to turn over in your sleep.

Yes! In fact, floatation therapy is highly beneficial for pregnant women because it allows them to escape the strain caused by the weight of their growing bellies. In addition, expectant mothers enjoy a “mirroring” effect, as floating in the tank mimics the experience of the baby floating in their womb.

Floating is safe after your first trimester and before 38weeks.

We have everything you need to enjoy a Float session, including towels, earplugs and shower products, plus some of our beautiful Zen at Home products to use after your Float session.

Since floating is an intensely personal experience, you are welcome to wear whatever makes you feel most comfortable. Most floaters prefer to wear nothing, which helps eliminate any sensory distractions, but bathing suits are perfectly acceptable if that makes you feel more comfortable.

No, you do not! Although closing the door of the float tank allows you to maximise the benefits of the float session by truly minimising all sensory stimulation, it is certainly possible to enjoy a float session with the door open. Some floaters prefer to leave the door open if they are worried about claustrophobia or the intensity of the experience.

Almost anyone can float, with a few exceptions. Certain health concerns may cause you to seek the advice of a doctor before floating. In addition, anyone who has alcohol or drugs in their system is discouraged from floating. Finally, it isn’t recommended for anyone with an open wound or suicidal tendencies to float.

Float tanks are incredibly sanitary! The Epsom salt that allows you to float is also naturally antiseptic and anti-microbial. To ensure that the tank is completely sanitised between each use, a filter and sanitation system is also in place.

Most floaters don’t experience a feeling of claustrophobia as float tanks are actually fairly spacious. The relaxing effect of floating usually eliminates any claustrophobia-related anxiety. Since there are no boundaries, it feels like you are in outer space – the experience is the exact opposite of a “closed-in” feeling. If you do worry about possible claustrophobic sensations, leaving the tank door open is always an option.
