Floatation Therapy London

yes. the water in the float pod is 25cm (10 in) deep, and it is nearly impossible to accidentally flip over. the salt concentration in the water is very high and you will float regardless of your size or weight, because of the way the body lies on top, the water line does not approach the mouth or nose. if you were to turn over, the salt would sting your eyes and wake you. as you are floating, you do not need to be able to swim. you may exit the float pod at any time, and staff are always present on site to assist you.

yes, the float spa pod lid can be left in any position between fully open and fully closed, thanks to the innovative lid design and mechanism.

the float spa pods we use provide unparalleled hygiene, due to the external water reservoir tank and complex, multi stage water cleaning filtration system. after each float session the float pod automatically empties into an external reservoir. the pod is manually cleaned by us and the total volume of water is automatically cleaned and filtered using: two types of filters, uv and hydrogen peroxide. we do not use chlorine in the solution.

nothing, just you. unless you have contact lenses, in which case bring a container to put them in while you float. if you want to wear a swim cap to protect your hair you would need to bring your own. we have some showercaps but they won’t prevent the salt water from getting to your hair in the float pod.

please get in touch if you would like your child to float.

pregnant women can derive real benefits from the experience as a result of the reduced gravitational pull on the body when floating. we do however recommend that you talk to your doctor before floating. we do not allow floating during the first trimester and after 2 weeks before your due date.

most people should be able to use our float pods. they are 2.32m (7feet 6 inches) long and 1.59m (5 feet 2 inches) wide. if you are over 2.2 metres (7 feet 2 inches) tall then you will be unable to use the float pods.

ask your doctor. if they give the go ahead then get in touch and we will do everything we can to facilitate your float. whilst we cannot guarantee that everyone will be able to use the float pods, we will do what we can to facilitate your float.

yes it is safe to float while menstruating if using proper feminine hygiene. if you are comfortable and can control your menstruation in a swimming pool, then you can do so in our float pods.

yes, we recommend bringing a swimming cap but as you are floating in salt water your hair may stick get wet. we recommend rinsing with water when you shower before floating and then afterwards rinse and wash with vinegar. dry your hair with the hairdryer provided round the corner once you leave the room or bring a hat to wear afterwards.

not until your hair is running clear in the shower. if you contaminate the epsom salt solution in the float pod, you are liable to pay the replacement fee.

please refer to the instructions you received with your piercing or tattoo regarding water submersion. you may need to wait for a period of time before floating. allow at least one month after you have received a new tattoo to consider floating in order to protect your art. if you contaminate the epsom salt solution in the float pod, you are liable to pay the replacement fee.

yes, due to the high salt concentration in the water, everyone will float on the surface and experience the weightlessness of this.

you may fall asleep, which is completely fine. due to the gravitational freedom and reduced sensory inputs one hour of sleep in the float pod is roughly equivalent to 4 hours of regular sleep.

it will sting a bit. but don’t worry, you can just use the water sprayer and a face towel to wipe off the salt water and then continue with your float session.

60 minutes may seem like a long time to be doing nothing, but that’s because normally we are continually doing something, continually bombarded with sensory inputs. time is often experienced in a different way inside the pod. often during your first float your mind may take a bit of time to adjust to the lack of external stimulation. but you should soon relax, completely let go and enter a place of tranquillity, where the time will fly by.

we don’t know what it will be like for you since it is such an individual experience. nearly every user reports having profound peace and relaxation, deep concentration and creativity. we like to avoid saying too much before you use the pod, so that you won’t be influenced by what someone else says. not only will it be different for you than it is for anyone else, it will be different each time.

no. the high epsom salt content of the water means that the water will not draw the salt from your skin and cause wrinkles like a long bath does. epsom salt has been used for centuries as a medicinal treatment for various skin conditions. it is nontoxic and is not harmful if swallowed by accident (although it does not taste good!). if the salt water gets in your eye, it is only irritating and can be easily rinsed out with fresh water. epsom salt is actually quite nourishing for the skin, which may feel silky smooth after your float session.

we have two state of the art pods by hungarian company float spa. combining an elegant natural inspired design with unparalleled hygiene, each float pod has its own external water reservoir tank and complex, multi stage water cleaning filtration system. before and after every session the float pod is emptied, the pod cleaned and the total volume of water is cleaned and filtered twice using four different methods. the pods also have the unique feature of an advanced opening mechanism allowing the lid of the pod to be left in any position from fully open to fully closed.
