Epsom salt, a mineral rich in magnesium, has been used for centuries to promote better sleep and alleviate pain, cramping, headaches, and muscle soreness. Each of our pods contains an impressive half-ton of it!

Beyond relaxation, Epsom salt nourishes dry skin, leaving it soft and supple, while also drawing out impurities, toxins, oil, and dirt. Its naturally antimicrobial and antibacterial properties help support skin health, benefiting conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and athlete’s foot.

Floating is generally safe and well-tolerated and there are no known negative side-effects of floating.

Yes! Many people fall asleep while floating because the deep relaxation promotes a meditative, sleep-like state. The high concentration of Epsom salt keeps you effortlessly buoyant, so there’s no risk of sinking. In fact, floating can enhance sleep quality by reducing stress and promoting deep rest. Some even find a one-hour float as restorative as several hours of sleep!

Hygiene in float therapy is a top priority, and our float pods are designed with advanced filtration and sanitation systems to ensure a clean and safe experience. Here’s how hygiene is maintained:

1. High-Grade Filtration

• After each session, the entire volume of water is filtered multiple times through a micron filtration system to remove particles and debris.

2. Powerful Disinfection

• Epsom Salt’s Natural Purity – The high concentration of Epsom salt (around 500kg per pod) creates a naturally sterile environment where bacteria struggle to survive.

• UV Light & Ozone Purification – Our float pods use UV light and ozone to kill bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms.

• Hydrogen Peroxide or Bromine – We use additional mild disinfectants to enhance cleanliness without irritating the skin.

3. Strict Cleaning Protocols

• Pods Are Drained & Wiped Down Regularly – Surfaces are cleaned to prevent residue build-up.

• Showers Before & After Floating – Clients are required to rinse off before entering the pod to remove oils, lotions, and dirt.

4. Constant Water Quality Monitoring

• The water’s pH, salinity, and cleanliness are regularly tested to ensure optimal conditions for floating.

How often you should float depends on your personal wellness goals and lifestyle. Here’s a general guide:

For Beginners

• Once a week is a great starting point to experience the benefits of deep relaxation and stress relief.

• After a few sessions, you’ll have a better idea of how floating affects you and can adjust accordingly.

For Stress & Anxiety Relief

• 1-2 times per week can help regulate stress levels, improve sleep, and promote overall mental well-being.

For Muscle Recovery & Pain Management

• 1-3 times per week can be beneficial for athletes, those recovering from injuries, or individuals with chronic pain conditions.

For General Well-Being & Maintenance

• Once or twice a month is good for many people to maintain relaxation, mental clarity, and physical benefits.

If you're claustrophobic, you can still enjoy floating! Many people with claustrophobia find it surprisingly comfortable because the experience feels open and weightless. The pods are much larger than most people expect—so spacious, in fact, that you can stretch out without touching the sides! If you're feeling uneasy, you can keep the top open or leave the inside light on for as long as you need—you're in full control. Once inside, most people are pleasantly surprised by how safe and relaxed they feel.

Yes, most people choose to float without clothing for maximum comfort and to avoid any fabric rubbing against the skin during the session. However, wearing a swimsuit is totally fine if that makes you feel more comfortable. The key is to feel relaxed and at ease during your float, so you can adjust based on your preferences.

Benefits such as reduced anxiety and improved sleep have been scientifically proven to last for several days after a single session. However, everyone is different, and results vary. If you float for longer or more regularly, then there is a cumulative effect to the benefits.

Most float sessions typically last 60 to 90 minutes, but it's possible to float for longer if desired. Some people choose to float for two hours or even three hours, especially if they’re using the session for deep relaxation or intensive muscle recovery. The longer and more regularly you float, the greater the benefits you’ll experience.

Floating at any time of day offers unique benefits, and the best time for your float session at Dream Float and Wellness largely depends on your personal goals and daily schedule. Some clients prefer floating early in the morning to clear their minds and boost focus for the day ahead. Midday or early afternoon sessions can provide a refreshing break, akin to an afternoon nap, allowing you to rest and recharge before continuing with your day. Evening sessions are popular for those who wish to deeply relax and unwind after a long day, potentially enhancing the quality of their sleep. Ultimately, the optimal time for floating is when it best fits your lifestyle and wellness goals.

Flotation therapy offers numerous benefits including deep relaxation, stress relief, pain reduction, improved sleep, and enhanced mental clarity. The high concentration of Epsom salt in the water also helps detoxify the body and soothe the skin.
