What is floatation therapy?

Floatation therapy, also called float therapy or sensory deprivation, is 60 minutes of doing nothing in a quiet tank of warm, salt-rich water. The water is kept at 34.5°C, the same as your skin, and holds roughly 500 to 700 kg of Epsom salt, depending on the room, so you float on the surface without any effort. With very little to see, hear or feel, many people find their mind slows down faster than they expect.

You are always in control. The door opens from the inside, you can leave a light on, and you don’t need to be able to swim. We have three float rooms: two Dreampod VMax pods and the larger Ocean Float Room, which you can book as a single or a double float.

First time? We talk you through everything beforehand, and you only need to arrive relaxed. See float prices and memberships.

Benefits

What floating can do for you

The experiences our clients describe most often. Everyone is different, and results vary from person to person.

Relaxation

A slower pace

With so little going on around you, many people find their breathing slows and their body softens as the hour goes on. It is a simple way to switch off.

Body

Ease in muscles and joints

The water takes your body weight off your spine and joints. Many people feel their neck, shoulders and back loosen, and say everyday aches and stiffness feel lighter afterwards.

Sleep

A restful night after

Lots of our clients tell us they sleep deeply the night after a float. Floating is not a treatment for sleep problems, but many people find it a good way to wind down.

Recovery

Rest after training

Runners, lifters and team players float to give tired muscles a break. Weightless water and Epsom salt make it a restful way to take time off your feet.

Mind

A calmer, clearer head

An hour without phones, screens or notifications. Many people leave feeling calmer, with more room to think things through.

Focus

Space to reflect

Without distractions, your attention turns inward. People describe it as a good place to reflect, let ideas surface, or practise meditation if they are new to it.

Absolutely fantastic. Wasn't sure what to expect but we were made feel so welcome and relaxed. She went through everything with bus beforehand. The whole experience waa out of this world. We will definitely be back.

After such a hectic few months and nothing helping us to feel like we had a good night's sleep, we can both say we cannon remember the last time we slept so soundly and woke up feeling incredibly rested. Looking forward to going back again VERY soon! For the constantly on the go world we find ourselves in, if you feel a tired that sleep doesn't fix, then give floating a go. The first time might feel a little odd but you will feel a positive impact. The second and subsequent bookings will be make a positive impact to your sleep, energy and overall wellbeing. No one can put price on health - this is something we should all do to quiet the world and minds.

We love floating! After discovering it about a year ago, myself and my husband go every month. We find it a big part of our wellness routine and establishing how important it is to turn things 'off' for a small bit of time, in this ever eventful, gorgeous LIFE 🙂 Thank you! Also, we want to say how lucky your establishment is to have Wally within your world there - he's an absolute pleasure to see and deal with every time 🙂

Best massage I’ve had in a long time. I’m very fussy with massages and it’s hard to please me. I’ve tried lots of different therapists in different places. Tara was fantastic. I floated out of the place. My only regret is that I don’t live in Cork so I cannot go regularly. I will definitely be back when I’m back in the area. Cannot recommend highly enough. Facility itself very clean, cosy and welcoming.

Great experience Great experience. My partner and I were welcomed by a lovely lady who made us feel at home. The atmosphere is really cosy and invites to relaxation. My partner had a massage he was very happy about. I did find a pity that they replaced their waking room, but I also understand that a massage is a good service to provide.

Amazing massage, positive energy, love the buddhas calm and relaxing environment. I booked in for a swedish massage with Elsa. Elsa was excellent as a therapist, and i asked if she could do a deep massage as my body was sore and ached a lot due tp my job as a nurse, and training a lot in the gym. She was so professional and communicated everything from start to finish. I was totally loosened out and felt i was on cloud 9. The room setting was perfect and the background music was very relaxing, I would highly recommend Elsa . She went above and beyond in making me feel so welcome and an amazing therapist. I will try the float the next time. I had the pleasure of meeting wali, who kindly made me a cup of ginger tea to finish of my positive experience at zero gravity float cork. Regards cora

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers before your first float.

What are the main benefits of floating?

Many people tell us they feel deeply relaxed afterwards, with looser muscles, a calmer head and a good night’s sleep. Everyone is different, and results vary from person to person. You can read more on our float benefits page.

Do I need to bring anything with me for my float?

Just yourself. Fresh towels, optional earplugs, SLS-free body wash, shampoo, conditioner and everything else you need are provided. If you have long hair, you may want to bring a hairbrush or comb. We have a hairdryer and a make-up room. If you wear contact lenses, bring your case, or wear glasses to make it easy.

How are the float tanks kept clean?

Our float solution is filtered with a powerful UV system for 30 minutes between floats, and a 1 to 10 micron bag filter captures any debris. We use food grade hydrogen peroxide as a disinfectant. Tank interiors and all touch points are sanitised after every float, and each room is fully ventilated for 60 minutes between floats.

What do I need to do before floating?

Come relaxed and ready to let go. We provide everything else. Avoid caffeine for at least 6 hours before your float, so your body can settle more easily, and try not to shave on the day of your float.
