The tanks & rooms here

The vessel type is the single biggest thing to get right — especially if enclosed spaces make you uneasy. Here's what Be Still Wellness & Aesthetics - Riverside runs, drawn from their own site and reviews.

🌊Open float (no lid)

No lid to close over you — the answer for anyone who feels boxed in. Open pools, open rooms, or pods whose door stays open.

🥚Float Pods

The classic enclosed capsule with a hinged lid. Deepest sensory deprivation; you lie down and pull the lid to.

All centers with float pods →

🚪Float Cabins

A walk-in enclosure with full standing height — for taller floaters and anyone who wants privacy without a low lid.

🛁Float Rooms

From the reviews

I truly enjoyed myself! The atmosphere, environment, the energy was relaxing and recharging for me. I doubt I would float at all based off my experience in the ocean. But I truly float with no issue. The lighting was great in the float room but once you turn them off, it’s an even resting relaxing moment to yourself.

★★★★★ — Marcus, Nov 2025

I went in as a first timer for a float session and let me tell you, IT WILL NOT BE MY LAST! I never felt more pampered and doted on in my life! Not only was the float session relaxing, but they encourage you to stay in that zone afterwards and enjoy a massage in one of their massage chairs, enjoy a cup of hot tea or…

★★★★★ — Stephanie, Mar 2026

We were greeted with a pleasant young lady that first shared a video of what to expect in the float spa. Then we were asked to sit in the complimentary massage chairs while we waited to enter the sauna. We weren't asked if we were familiar with a sauna, and we're not, she said just push start when you're ready.

Your first float at Be Still Wellness & Aesthetics - Riverside

Never floated before? Almost no one has their first time, and a good center expects it. Here's what to know. What it is: you float effortlessly in about ten inches of skin-temperature water saturated with around 1,000 lbs of Epsom salt — so dense you cannot sink. In the dark and quiet, with no light, sound, or gravity to react to, your nervous system downshifts. Before you come: don't shave or wax for a day beforehand (salt stings fresh cuts — they'll have barrier ointment if you nick yourself), skip caffeine, eat a light meal an hour or two before, and remove contacts. If you colored your hair recently, wait a few days. In the tank: shower first, put earplugs in before you get wet, and keep a fresh-water spray bottle within reach for salt in the eyes. You can leave the light or music on until you settle, then turn them off from inside. Hold your arms out for the first 20–30 seconds to stop bobbing, then let go. It takes a few tries — the first 20 minutes are usually your mind winding down. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to shower and get oriented.

Floating isn't for everyone: skip it with epilepsy, kidney disease, uncontrolled heart conditions, open wounds, a contagious condition, or in the first trimester of pregnancy without your doctor's OK. If in doubt, ask the center and check with a physician — this is general information, not medical advice.
