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 Ensõ Float runs, drawn from their own site and reviews.

From the reviews

This has been my second time going and the experience was great. The place is really clean and the mood right when you enter is very calming. You get a room appointed to you which has a shower and the float tank. It’s really nice to be able to turn off all the lights and float in complete darkness.

My new favorite float tank sanctuary in Oregon! It was so spacious and I love that there are circular rooms. They put the perfect amount of salt in for a perfectly buoyant float. It was actually a perfect sensory deprivation experience unlike many other float places-- I wasn't disturbed by footsteps or external noises.

What an amazing experience! The float rooms are beautifully designed and well taken care of. The staff was very polite and helpful. I can't wait to go back for my second experience! The first one relieved so much of my chronic aches and pains as well as giving me some emotional and mental stress relief.

Dropped into Ensõ Float while in town visiting from Seattle. For fans of traditional sauna (where essential oil infused water is poured over hot rocks), look no further. Where most sauna / cold plunge spas provide only infrared saunas, the intense heat and steam of a traditional sauna stove stands out.

Your first float at Ensõ 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.
