Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to bring anything?

It’s best to wear loose-fitting clothes. It makes getting changed after your appointment easier. If you wear contacts, you may want to bring a case to store them during your float. Other than that, we provide everything you need (towels, robes, earplugs, body wash/shampoo…) Since each room is fully private and you can lock the door, you go into the tank nude, there is no need to bring a bathing suit.

Is there anything I can do to prepare?

Don’t drink caffeine for several hours before a session. Don’t shave or wax right before since the salt water can irritate your skin. Eating a light meal about an hour to 90 minutes ahead of time stops your stomach from potentially making noise while you float.

What if I’m claustrophobic?

You have the whole float suite to yourself, and you can get in or out at any time. You’re always in control of your environment, and people with extreme claustrophobia have reported having no problems with their time floating. Being in the Float Spa tank is more like floating in outer space than being shut in a box. With our float tanks, you can even leave the lid open, so you never feel shut in.

Can I float if I just dyed my hair?

No. Fresh hair color is prone to bleed and could damage our tanks. You may be charged for the new salt and loss of business. Both permanent and semi-permanent color can be damaging. When your shower water is clear and no color appears on your towel, you’re good to float.

What if I’m tall or heavy?

Our float tanks can accommodate up to 7’4” and the solution is so salt-dense that everyone will float regardless of size.

Can more than one person float at a time?

No. The Float Spa float tanks are private, single use. We have 4 private float rooms, so couples and parties can start their floats at the same time while having a true sensory reduction experience.

Could I drown if I fall asleep?

The float tanks are filled with an Epsom salt solution 3 times more buoyant than The Dead Sea. Your head always stays supported in the solution even if you fall asleep. You definitely won’t drown, but you’ll feel like you’ve gone to Heaven.

How do you clean the tanks?

Hygiene is our first priority, and that's why Floasis invested in the Float Spa Float Tank. The Float Spa tanks are the most advanced in the world. They drain entirely between visits, and the tanks are hosed down and wiped clean between each visit. The tanks fill with a fresh solution for every appointment. The solution passes through two advanced 1 micron absolute filters and a super-efficient UV sterilizing process. The solution is also auto-dosed if the levels of anti-bacterial agents, such as H2O2, are below the set safe level. All of that translates to a pristine float experience.

Do I have a full hour in the float tank?

Yes. You’re given plenty of time to change and shower before and after the float so you can enjoy a full 60 or 90 minute session.

Can I float if I’m pregnant?

Yes, pregnant women may use float tanks. Floating while pregnant allows you to escape the added weight of pregnancy by taking the strain off the body and spine (and feet!). It promotes excellent sleep, a lovely sense of well being, and can help with all the aches and pains normally associated with pregnancy. For many mothers, the environment creates a heightened sensitivity and connection with the baby, and some have reported a profound experience of “mirroring” from floating in a quiet, warm and secure environment while their baby does the same.

Can I float during my period?

Yes. Same prep as a public pool.

Will my hair get wet?

Yes. We provide professional hair care, blow dryers, and blow dry room for after your service.
