No. It is common and safe to fall asleep in the Pod; the density of the water due to the 500kg of Epsom salts will keep you afloat. If you do find yourself falling asleep, you will be woken by music and the filtration system turning on at the end of your session.

Yes – a good reason to book in for a float. The Pod is completely safe, and will temporarily free you of the weight of your baby. Some women report that their baby loves it as much as they do! If you have further concerns, please consult your Doctor and/or midwife before booking a float.

Our Pod has a state of the art filtration system. The water is filtered between each person with the contents of the Pod being turned over at least 2.8 times. When required we can also use a low level of chlorine or hydrogen peroxide to achieve an ultimate hygienic float experience by keeping the water clean and clear.

Yes! While we recommend floating with the door closed and light off, you are free to float however you feel comfortable. If at any time during your session you start to feel uncomfortable you are more then welcome to pop open the top and take a breather. You are in complete control of the float experience!

No, floatation therapy has been around for 60 years. It is based on a scientific approach to deep relaxation and is backed up by hundreds of published research studies.

Because floating is so relaxing, if you arrive to float without eating you may be distracted by stomach grumbles. We recommend eating something small at least 30mins prior to your float. We encourage you to avoid caffeine for at least four hours before floating for the most relaxing experience.

People that have eczema or sensitive skin may experience a stingy sensation which eases shortly after entering the pod. Epsom salts will not dry out your skin or dehydrate you, it can help with eczema .You will leave the float pod feeling soft, smooth and silky. We suggest that you avoid shaving, tanning, waxing on the day of your float or anything else that would increase the sensitivity of your skin.
