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 ChillWell Plunge Sauna Float runs, drawn from their own site and reviews.

🥚Float Pods

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

From the reviews

I came here today to enter my late 30s and thought sensory deprivation would be the best way to forget. Kidding, but I have always been curious what it would feel like to float in outer space without actually having to do cardio to get there.

This was my first experience at floating. My daughter gave me this session as a birthday gift. The atmosphere was warm/welcoming/clean with a spa like feeling. I described the float as feeling like I was back in my mother‘s womb or floating on a cloud. I went in there with bodyaches from overdoing the day before.

I did a float for the first time, and it was sensational! ChillWell is such a relaxing place and is clean and full of all the little details that make this kind of experience truly excellent. The float room was calming and my body felt so rejuvenated after soaking in all those salts!

★★★★★ — Nicole, Jan 2026

I love ChillWell! Bryan and staff are amazing! What has been set up here is super functional, welcoming and fun. Not only hydrotherapy but also access to sensory deprivation as well. Proud to be a founding member and so excited for their growth of doing the barrel sauna outside soon!

Your first float at ChillWell Plunge Sauna Float

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.
