There is no minimum age for visiting a float tank, but there are special rules for minors. Customers aged between 13-17 are required to have a parent or guardian accompany them, sign our release waiver and remain on-site for the duration of the float. Customers 12 and younger are required to have a parent or guardian sign our waiver and remain in the room during the float and should coordinate with the spa manager prior. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Adipose tissue is more positively buoyant, so you may find that you float more easily if you weigh more.

You can book a float at the same time as your friends or loved ones, but each person must have their own individual pod. The floating experience is best enjoyed in privacy, where you can enjoy the perfect stillness and calm.

Fortunately, there are many ways you can make your float spa visit suitable to your needs. In fact, people with claustrophobia consistently report no problems with floating. You are always in full control of the floating environment, and it’s up to you whether to have the lid of the float pod open or closed, and whether to have the lights on or off.

When you float, feel free to relax and even fall asleep. The Epsom salt water used in the 10 inch deep float tanks is dense and elevating, allowing you to effortlessly float above the surface of the water. You can rest assured that a float tank is safer than a bathtub or an afternoon stroll.

We choose Epsom salt for a variety of benefits, starting with creating the environment so you can FLOAT! Epsom salt water makes your skin feel silky and smooth, and has been used for hundreds of years to soothe pain. Epsom salt is also rich in magnesium, which is important for promoting overall health.

You don’t need to bring anything with you to float. Towels, soap, shampoo, and ear plugs are available at the counter as well as other goodies. Some visitors like to bring their own supplies such as a comb or hair tie, a fresh set of clothes, or a music device.

Hi SaraJane, This is a great question! Not only is it safe for pregnant women to visit a float tank, it’s exceptionally helpful for soothing aches and encouraging recovery from pain and stress. Floating relieves tension in the muscles and allows you to experience weightlessness, recovering physically and mentally. It’s been called a must-have for pregnancy, and is highly recommended.

Hi Selso, Thank you for your question! As others have answered here, your float experience will be the most relaxing if you have had a light meal before your visit, have not had caffeine, and have not shaved in the the last 24 hours. Wishing you a serene floating experience!
