The Float Experience
Your First
Float
Everything you need to know before you arrive — what to expect, how it works, and why people keep coming back.
How a session works
Arrive
You'll receive an access code 2 hours before your session. Let yourself in and follow the orientation guide.
Pre-Float Shower
A thorough shower before entering the pod. Everything you need is provided — towels, ear plugs, Ecostore products.
Float
60 minutes in the pod. Light, sound and gravity fade away. You're completely in control the entire time.
Post-Float Shower
Rinse off the salt water. Take your time — this is part of the experience. The glow lasts.
Recover
Most people leave feeling deeply calm and unhurried. Drink water, take it slow. The float stays with you.

Why people float
Weightless from head to toe
The 400kg of Epsom salt in the water creates a buoyancy that removes all pressure from your joints and muscles. Many members incorporate floating into their regular recovery routine as a way to feel physically lighter and more at ease.
Silence the noise
With no light, sound or external input, your nervous system gets a rare opportunity to fully switch off. Members often describe leaving feeling mentally lighter — as if a weight has been set down. Most report the effect lasting well beyond the session itself.
Float your way to rest
A growing number of our members float as part of their wind-down routine. The deep physical and mental stillness of the float often carries through into the night — many report sleeping more deeply after a session.
Absorbed through the skin
Our tanks contain pharmaceutical-grade magnesium sulphate. Floating allows for natural topical absorption — and most of us are deficient. Magnesium plays a role in over 325 enzyme processes in the body, from muscle function to energy production.
Tips for your first float
Eat light beforehand
Float on a semi-empty stomach — a light meal 2 hours before is ideal. Not hungry, not full.
Skip the caffeine
Avoid caffeine for 5 hours before your float. It's a stimulant and will work against the stillness you're after.
Don't shave or wax
Avoid shaving or waxing for 3 days prior — freshly opened pores and the salt water don't mix comfortably.
Remove contacts
Bring your contact lens case and solution. You'll want to remove them before entering the pod.
Bring a hair comb
We provide everything else — towels, ear plugs, shampoo, conditioner, body wash. Just bring what you use for your hair.
Float at least 3 times
The first float is often about getting comfortable. Most people find the experience deepens significantly by their third session.
