Frequently Asked Questions
Don't be shy! Ask us anything you don't see here by submitting a question at the bottom of this page.
DO I NEED TO BRING ANYTHING?
Just yourself. Towels, showers, soap and shampoo, ear-plugs, etc. for your float will be provided at check-in. If you have long hair, you may want to bring a hair tie and comb for after your float.
CAN I COMBINE SERVICES?
Yes. Stacking sessions amplifies results — for example: sauna before float, compression after sauna, red light with halotherapy.
HOW MANY SESSIONS BEFORE I FEEL A CHANGE?
Many feel benefits after one visit. Deeper, longer-lasting results come with consistency.
IS THE EPSOM SALT GOOD FOR MY SKIN?
Epsom salt has actually been used for treating skin ailments and will leave your skin feeling smooth and silky. We also sell our epsom salt for use at home between floats.
DO I HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO MEDITATE?
No. Your nervous system calms automatically once stimulation is removed. You just float.
HOW WILL I FEEL AFTER?
Most people describe deep calm, looseness in the body, and a “mental reset” that lasts for days.
WHAT IF I’M CLAUSTROPHOBIC?
People with claustrophobia consistently report no problems with floating. You’re always in control of your environment, and can choose to float with the pod open and room lights on.
CAN I DROWN IF I FALL ASLEEP?
No. The 10 inches of water is so buoyant you can’t help but float at the top. Some people do choose to sleep in the pods.
HOW IS THE WATER KEPT CLEAN?
The highly sterile salt water is fully filtered three times between each float through a 1 micron pool filter (that’s 1/100th the diameter of a human hair!) and is sanitized with a disinfectant and UV light.
CAN I BRING A FRIEND?
Absolutely! You can book floats at the same time or book a Couple’s Float (Rehoboth Beach location only).
DO I FLOAT NUDE?
Most people don’t wear anything when floating, and this is what we recommend as well. Anything you wear while floating will become heavy with epsom salt and cause a distraction during your float.
IS IT SAFE TO FLOAT IF I AM PREGNANT?
Not only is it safe but it’s encouraged! Some say floating is “a pregnancy must!” Floating allows you to escape the added stress and weight of pregnancy by being in a weightless environment, taking the strain off of your body. We have also heard testimonies that it is an awesome way to bond with your baby.
CAN I FLOAT WHILE ON MY PERIOD?
Yes. Just follow the same protocol you would for a public swimming pool or hot tub.
ARE THERE ANY WEIGHT OR SIZE RESTRICTIONS FOR FLOATING?
Our float tanks have been tested with floaters weighing up to 350 pounds who have been able to float without issue. Feel free to come in and try it! If for some reason it simply doesn’t work, we’ll refund you! (note: this has never happened)
IS FLOATING BETTER THAN GETTING A MASSAGE?
Massage relaxes muscles from the outside, but floating removes light, sound, pressure, and touch so the nervous system can calm at the source. People who float often notice longer-lasting relief from stress, migraines, anxiety, and chronic tension.
IS THIS NEW AGED MUMBO JUMBO?
Floating has been around for over 40 years, and has oodles of published research to back it up. No mumbo or jumbo here.
IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT?
Customers aged between 13-17 are required to have a parent or guardian accompany them, sign our release waiver and remain on-site for the duration of the float. Customers under 13 are required to have a parent or guardian sign our waiver and remain in the room during the float and should coordinate with the spa manager prior.
HOW IS AN INFRARED SAUNA DIFFERENT FROM A TRADITIONAL SAUNA?
Infrared warms you gently from the inside out—not a blast of hot air—making it easier to stay longer.
WHAT ARE THE MAIN BENEFITS OF INFRARED SAUNA?
Better circulation, detoxification, relaxation, pain relief, immune support, and deeper sleep rhythms.
IS RED LIGHT THERAPY LIKE TANNING?
No UV, no heat, no skin damage. Red and near-infrared light fuel cell repair and collagen production.
WHO IS RED LIGHT THERAPY FOR?
Anyone with inflammation, soreness, acne, aging skin, slow recovery, or seasonal low mood.
HALOTHERAPY (SALT ROOM)
IS BREATHING SALT SAFE?
Yes. Medical-grade dry salt is micronized to cleanse airways and calm irritated skin.
WHO BENEFITS MOST?
People with allergies, sinus pressure, post-illness congestion, dry skin, or chronic irritation.
COMPRESSION (NORMATEC)
WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE?
A gentle, rhythmic “squeeze and release” that moves fluid and inflammation out of the legs.
WHEN DOES THIS HELP MOST?
After workouts, long shifts on your feet, travel, swelling, or recurring fatigue.
BEMER (PEMF)
WHAT DOES BEMER ACTUALLY DO?
It improves micro-circulation — letting oxygen and nutrients reach tissue more efficiently for faster healing and calmer nerves.
ROXIVA LIGHT & SOUND
IS THIS HYPNOSIS OR VR?
No suggestions and no screens. Light and sound guide the brain into deeply restorative states on their own.
WHY DO PEOPLE USE IT?
For stress relief, focus, emotional reset, elevated mood, and relief from relentless mental noise.
