Float rooms in Cork

Float tanks in Cork

Three private float rooms in one calm building on Model Farm Road: two Dreampod VMax pods and the larger Ocean Float Room, which you can book as a single or a double float. Every float is 60 minutes in warm, quiet, salt-rich water, with the light on or off as you prefer, and music only if you want it.

Your rooms

Our three float rooms

Each room is private, with its own shower, and set up the same way: water at skin temperature, saturated with Epsom salt, with lights and sound you control.

Rooms 1 and 2

Dreampod VMax

One of the largest float pods you can buy, with extra length and width for taller or bigger people, athletes, and anyone who likes more space around them. Colour-changing lights are controlled from inside, and speakers under the water play music.

  • FloatsOne person
  • Inside the podAbout 2.35 m by 1.6 m (7.7 ft by 5.3 ft)
  • WaterAbout 800 litres
  • Epsom saltRoughly 500 kg

Room 3

Ocean Float Room

A king-size float room with full standing height, so you can step in and out upright. Book it as a double to float with a partner, friend or family member, or as a single if you would like the space to yourself.

  • FloatsOne or two people
  • Room size2.43 m by 2.04 m, 2.1 m high
  • WaterAbout 1,200 litres
  • Epsom saltUp to 700 kg

Choosing a room

Which room should I book?

Floating with someone

Book the Ocean Float Room as a double. You each float in the same water at the same time.

Want the most open feel

Choose the Ocean Float Room. You can stand up inside and the room is much bigger than a pod. The door never locks in any of our rooms.

Prefer a snug space

Choose a Dreampod VMax. It is enclosed but roomy, and you control the lights from inside.

Before you float

What to expect

You are in control

The door never locks or latches and opens from the inside. You can leave a light on or turn it off, and you can have the door open a little if that helps.

The salt holds you up

The water is kept at 34.5°C and loaded with Epsom salt, close to the density of the Dead Sea. You float on the surface without any effort, and you do not need to swim.

Time passes quickly

With nothing to see or hear, many first-timers are surprised at how fast the hour goes. Most people find a float is best in silence, so music is optional. We usually play soft music for the first 10 minutes to help you settle in, and again for the last 5 minutes to signal that your float is ending. In the pods, a voice also tells you when your session is over.

We talk you through it

Before your first float we explain everything, show you the room and answer questions, so you only need to arrive relaxed.

Preparing

A few things to know before you come

  • Wait 7 days after hair colour or treatment, and 48 hours after fake tan. Arrive free of oils and lotions.
  • Wait at least 4 to 6 weeks after a fresh tattoo.
  • Please do not float after alcohol or drugs, or with an open wound or an infectious skin condition.
  • You can float on your period using a tampon or menstrual cup. If your period is heavy, please rearrange your float.
  • Salt water is slippery, so take care getting in and out. If you have mobility issues, please bring someone you know, as our staff cannot help you in and out of the pool.
  • Pregnancy and some medical conditions need your doctor’s permission first. Everyone signs a short health waiver online before their first float.

Hygiene

How we keep the water clean

  • The float solution is sanitised for 30 minutes between floats and passed through a UV light.
  • A 10-micron filter is replaced regularly.
  • We measure pH, hydrogen peroxide, water level, specific gravity and temperature.
  • Interiors and touchpoints are cleaned after every float.
  • Each room is ventilated for 60 minutes between floats.
  • You shower before and after floating.

Questions

Common questions

Is the door locked?

No. The door never locks or latches, and you can open it from the inside at any time.

Can I float with someone else?

Yes. The Ocean Float Room can be booked as a double for two people. The Dreampod VMax pods are for one person.

What if I am worried about small spaces?

You control the lights and the door, which is why most people find it easier than they expect. The Ocean Float Room is the most open option, and you can stand up in it.

Do I need to be able to swim?

No. The Epsom salt holds you up on the surface, so you float without any effort.
