Is there anything I should do to prepare?
Don’t consume caffeine several hours beforehand as you will likely not achieve that zen state you are hoping to achieve during your float. Don’t shave or wax since the salt water can irritate your skin. Eat a light meal about 60 - 90 minutes ahead of your float.
Do I need to bring anything?
If you wear contacts you will want something to put your contact lenses into while you’re in our float room.
We provide everything you need (towels, earplugs, body wash/shampoo, robe…)
Each room is fully private, and you go into the float room nude, so there’s no need to bring a bathing suit.
Do I have to stay in whole time?
There aren’t any latches on the float room doors, and you can get out at any time. The 90-minutes usually go by faster than you expect.
How do you clean the float rooms?
Between each float the water is filtered four times through a filter designed to clean an entire swimming pool, then treated with UV light, and maintained with hydrogen peroxide between 50 and 100 ppm.
Can I drown if I fall asleep in there?
No, you will not drown. Some people fall asleep, but the water is so buoyant that you stay afloat. The worst that can happen is getting woken up by a bit of salt water in your eyes.
Can more than one person float in a float room at a time?
Only one person per float room.
We have four King Size Ocean Float Rooms so you and three friends can all come float together in separate rooms and share your experience afterwards in our post float area.
Can I Float While I’m Pregnant?
Pregnant women love floating! If you are in your third trimester, or have any concerns, please consult with your physician or midwife before coming in.
What if I’m claustrophobic?
Being in the King Size Ocean Float Room is more like floating in outer space than being shut in a box. You’re always in control of your environment, and even people with extreme claustrophobia have reported having no problems with their time in our luxurious rooms.
Do I get dehydrated from soaking for so long?
No, your skin doesn’t even prune up, but it does become silky soft afterwards.
Can I float if I’m menstruating?
Yes, just follow the same protocol you would for a swimming pool.
Can I float if I just dyed my hair?
There is no guarantee that the salt won’t strip some color from your hair.
If you have recently dyed your hair you must ensure the water running through your hair in the shower at home is fully clear.
If there is still some color coming out in the water you will have to wait a couple more days until it does run fully clear before you can float. Any damages caused from hair dye during your float will be your responsibility to pay to get professionally cleaned.
I just got a tattoo, should I float?
Floating and fresh tattoos do not mix!!!
Not only could floating with a fresh tattoo be painful (salt + open wounds = ouch) but the water solution could cause fading or discoloration of your tattoo and permanently ruin its aesthetic appeal. How long you should wait before floating depends on the tattoo and how quickly it heals. Tattoo artists/floaters we have talked to have suggested waiting 4-6 weeks.
How long have float tanks been around?
The first float tank was developed in 1954. These involved full submersion in water and a breathing device that completely covered your face. The first lay down, commercial tanks were invented in the early 70’s.
