Float Therapy in Louisville, Kentucky
What Is Floating?
Floating, also known as float therapy or sensory deprivation, is a deeply relaxing wellness experience designed to reduce external stimulation and provide an environment for deep rest. At Blissful Relaxation, you float effortlessly in skin-temperature water containing approximately 1,700 pounds of Epsom salt, creating remarkable buoyancy—even greater than what most people associate with floating in the Dead Sea—inside one of our spacious, king-size Ocean Float Rooms.
Kentucky's Largest Float Rooms
Our spacious Ocean Float Rooms measure approximately 8 feet long by 7 feet wide, providing significantly more open space than traditional float tanks and pods. The king-size design gives you room to stretch out and relax without the confined feeling many people associate with sensory deprivation tanks.
Key Benefits of Floating:
- Promotes deep relaxation
Reduced external stimulation creates a peaceful environment where the body and mind can deeply relax. - Supports muscle recovery
Effortless flotation reduces pressure on joints and muscles, making floating popular for post-workout recovery and physical relaxation. - Helps reduce stress and anxiety
The quiet, low-stimulation environment can help calm the mind and promote a sense of relaxation and well-being. - May help ease aches and discomfort
Weightless flotation removes much of the pressure normally placed on the body, which many guests find soothing for tired or sore muscles and joints. - Creates a unique sensory-reduction experience
Skin-temperature water, exceptional buoyancy, quiet and reduced light work together to minimize external sensory input. - Encourages mental relaxation and mindfulness
With fewer outside distractions, many people find floating provides an ideal environment for meditation, reflection and mental reset. - An unexpected favorite after floating
One of the comments we hear again and again from guests is how incredibly soft their skin feels after a float. Spending 90 minutes soaking in our highly concentrated Epsom salt solution can leave your skin feeling noticeably soft and smooth.
At Blissful Relaxation in Louisville, KY, every float takes place in a completely private suite, ensuring your comfort and peace of mind. On your first visit, you’ll receive a detailed tour, and a member of our team will personally walk you through the process, answering any questions you may have before your float begins.
Whether you're new to floating or have floated many times before, we're here to make your experience comfortable, relaxing and completely your own.
⚠️ Guests must be 16 years or older to float.
How Does Floating Work?
Our private float rooms are designed for exceptional spaciousness and comfort, making floating accessible to nearly everyone—including guests who are tall, broad-shouldered, or uncomfortable in enclosed spaces.
What Makes Our Float Rooms Unique:
• Spacious King-Size Float Rooms
Each private float room measures an impressive 8 feet long by 7 feet wide, providing plenty of room to stretch out and relax. Our oversized rooms offer a much more open environment than traditional enclosed float tanks or pods.
• Private Float Rooms vs. Float Tanks, Pods & Orbs
Unlike traditional float tanks, float pods, or float orbs, Blissful Relaxation features spacious 8' × 7' private float rooms. You get the deeply relaxing, highly buoyant float experience without being enclosed inside a pod or orb. Our walk-in float rooms provide plenty of space to stretch out, relax, and enjoy the experience in a completely private room.
• 270 Gallons of Skin-Temperature Water
The water is maintained at approximately 94°F, close to average skin temperature. This helps minimize the sensation of where your body ends and the water begins, contributing to the unique sensory-reduction experience of floating.
• 1,700 Pounds of Epsom Salt
Each float room contains approximately 1,700 pounds of Epsom salt, creating an exceptionally dense and buoyant solution. The high salt concentration allows your body to float effortlessly, with buoyancy even greater than what most people associate with floating in the Dead Sea.
• No Light. No Sound. No Sense of Gravity.
With the lights off and the room completely quiet, external sensory input is virtually eliminated. The exceptionally buoyant Epsom salt solution supports your body effortlessly, removing pressure from muscles and joints and creating the sensation of weightlessness—as though gravity has disappeared.
• Adjustable Comfort Settings
You are always in control of your experience. Prefer some light? Each room has a light control that allows you to leave a soft glow on throughout your float. Prefer music? Soothing music can also be provided upon request, allowing you to customize your session to your comfort level.
Why We Chose Ocean Float Rooms
Blissful Relaxation chose Ocean Float Rooms because they offer a very different experience from traditional enclosed float pods and tanks. Ocean Float Rooms pioneered the world's first full-height, walk-in commercial float room. More than 30 years later, their premium float rooms have been refined to combine spaciousness, comfort and commercial-grade performance.
Instead of climbing into a pod/orb, you simply walk through a full-height door into a spacious private float room. Our King-Size Ocean Float Rooms measure an impressive 8' × 7', giving you room to stretch out and relax without feeling confined.
The spacious walk-in design is especially welcoming for first-time floaters, taller guests and anyone who may feel uncomfortable in a traditional enclosed pod. Once you're inside, you're still able to experience what floating is all about: no light, no sound, no gravity.

Our float areas were constructed using QuietRock 545 sound-reducing materials and professional IsoDoor sound-isolation doors to help minimize outside sound.
From the size of our Ocean Float Rooms to the construction hidden inside the walls, these were intentional investments made to create the quietest, most comfortable and immersive float experience we could provide.
It's all part of our commitment to providing what we believe is the best float experience in Louisville, Kentucky — no light, no sound and no sense of gravity.

How Floating Affects the Body
The exceptionally buoyant environment of floating allows your body to rest without the usual pressure of supporting its own weight. With your body supported by the Epsom salt solution, muscles and joints can relax while you experience a profound sensation of weightlessness.
Physical Benefits:
• Relieves pressure from the spine, joints, and muscles
Buoyancy supports your body and reduces pressure on weight-bearing areas, making floating especially relaxing for the neck, shoulders, back, hips, knees, and ankles.
• Supports muscle recovery and physical relaxation
With less pressure on the body and no need to maintain normal posture against gravity, muscles can release tension and settle into a deeply relaxed state.
• May help ease everyday aches and muscle tension
Many people use float therapy to temporarily relieve soreness, stiffness, and muscular tension associated with exercise, physical activity, or everyday stress.
• Encourages a deeply relaxed nervous-system state
The combination of weightlessness, skin-temperature water, darkness, and silence removes many of the physical and sensory demands your body normally processes, creating an environment designed for deep rest.
• Provides complete physical stillness
With approximately 1,700 pounds of Epsom salt supporting your body, you can remain effortlessly afloat without continually adjusting your position or using your muscles to stay supported.

• Hydrogen peroxide sanitation
We maintain 50–100 ppm of hydrogen peroxide in the float water as part of our ongoing sanitation process.
• Float room cleaned after every guest
In addition to treating the water, our team inspects and cleans the private float room between sessions, including frequently touched surfaces and other areas used by the guest.
• Exceptionally high Epsom salt concentration
Each room contains approximately 1,700 pounds of Epsom salt, creating the highly concentrated solution that makes effortless floating possible.

You can relax knowing that both your private float room and its water are carefully prepared before your session.
