A safe space to relax and reconnect with yourself at a deep level. Wonderful empathetic staff. Would highly recommend! From the moment I walked in, I felt a gentle shift into a place of calm. This was my second time to zero gravity float. This treatment offered far more than relaxation, it was a deeply moving experience of tranquility, opening up to inner peace, and a quiet reconnection with myself. I left feeling not just rested, but realigned emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. I’m very grateful to the incredible staff for their kindness, presence, and the safe, calming space they created and genuine care for each individuals experience.

A Birthday Treat After a thoroughly enjoyable first experience of this treatment, my friend bought me a gift voucher. I finally got to use it this week and after being politely being greeted by Pavel, I was shown to the room where the float pod is situated and after a brief safety talk, I was left to enjoy the peace and calm of the float pod for an hour. Ten minutes of lovely calming music set the mood and a further five minutes of music at the end of my session. After a shower and a complimentary tea I sat in the chill room until ready to leave. This treatment is thoroughly recommended for muscle, aches and pains leaving you totally relaxed.

From the moment we walked in, the experience was nothing short of amazing. The receptionist was so friendly and welcoming, instantly putting us at ease. The float itself was out of this world — pure relaxation. I could literally feel my muscles unwinding with each passing minute. It was such a calming and meditative experience.After the float, I had a massage that was the perfect follow-up — soothing, gentle, and just what I needed. By the end of it all, I was only fit for bed (in the best way possible!).The whole place was spotless, and the atmosphere was so calming — low lighting, soft music, and a really peaceful vibe.They had everything you needed — robes, showers, toiletries — which made the whole experience even more seamless.Highly, highly recommend this place if you're looking to truly relax and recharge.I’ll definitely be back — already planning my next visit!

A little pause in this fast paced life After a recommendation from my husband who had tried it out a couple of months before, I decided to give it a shot. I was struggling to get a good night's sleep and hoped that float would change this. My muscles were also sore from training which is the norm. The calming feel in that pod is indescribable. I entered with an open mind and unsure if it will have a positive effect on my mood...and sleep. I came out feeling mellow and still in a state of serenity. My aches and pains all gone. I actually napped twice during the day the following day which I would usually struggle to do. I cannot recommend this enough. Will definitely be returning.

Ultimate relaxation Never disappointed going here. Feel of relaxation as soon as walk through the door. Rooms are a good size and you don't have to close the pod or be in darkness if you don't want to as there is lovely mood lighting you can use instead. Staff are all so lovely and always offer a cup of herbal tea after your float. They provide towels and there's a little room with a hairdryer and a few bits for after so you don't even need to bring anything.

Wow What a beautiful experience. From the minute you walked in the door to the minute you walked out you are treated so well and by lovely friendly happy staff We had a 60 minute float that was just so relaxing and peaceful and did not feel the hour going. We then sat in the relaxing room with beautiful instrumental music playing in the background and a lovely cup of Barry's tea for Mr, but you also had the choice of many different teas. Looking forward to going back soon.

Unique Relaxing Experience I've been several times now, usually with my husband (we book separate floats for the same time) and this week I went on my own; it's a unique relaxing experience and I always feel the benefit for some time afterwards. It's very easy to book online and you can buy credits to use at any time (there are often offers available).

The great switch off for sixty. Oh wow. What an amazing experience. The whole experience from the start with super friendly staff - especially explaining the whole concept- nothing was a problem to the floatation itself where everything just …….stops……felt like was on a bed and mind just wandered. Totally relaxed after with offers of tea and relaxation area. Can’t wait to go again …and again.

Absolutely unexpected I was gifted a float after an absolute mental health breakdown. At the same time, 3 herniated discs in my back. Physical and mental ouch. I was unsure, until my experience. I finally found a place of deep rest both physically and mentally and absolutely can not wait to go again. It's not claustrophobic atall, it's just serene bliss. The staff were so lovely and supportive and whilst a little skeptical of non medical interventions for pain, my opinion has totally changed. My back feels wonderful for the first time in 10 months and I came out so much clearer in my mind with a deep sense of calm. I can't reccomend this enough and I'm booking in for another session in a couple of weeks. Everyone needs to try this.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main benefits of floating?

Specifically, floating provides significant reduction in pain, muscle tension, stress and anxiety. You are also likely to experience total serenity and peacefulness, an increased sense of well-being, and feeling completely refreshed like the reset button was hit.

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

Nope, just yourself. Fresh towels, optional earplugs, SLS free body wash, shampoo, conditioner and everything else that you might need are provided. If you have long hair you might want to bring a hairbrush or a comb we have a hairdryer and make up room. If you wear contacts bring your contact case, or wear glasses to make it easy.

How are the float tanks kept clean?

Our float solution is sanitised for 30 minutes between floats with a powerful UV filtration system, a 1-10 micron bag filter to capture any contaminants or debris and we use food grade hydrogen peroxide as a disinfectant. All our tanks interiors and all touch points are sanitised after every float. Everything in our float rooms is replaced or cleaned and all our tanks are fully ventilated for a full 60 minutes between floats.

What do I need to do before floating?

Come relaxed and ready to let go. We provide everything else! Your time in the tank will be much more beneficial if you arrive ready to relax. Make sure to not drink caffeine at least 6 hours prior to your float to ensure your body can reach a deep state of relaxation. Try to not shave the day of your float.
