The tanks & rooms here
The classic enclosed capsule with a hinged lid. Deepest sensory deprivation; you lie down and pull the lid to.
The room itself is the vessel: no hatch, walk straight in. Great for claustrophobia and easier access.

What floaters say
“The folks at Float Harder do an amazing job providing a clean, safe, and pleasant atmosphere for anyone interested in float therapy.”
“The relaxation process can be difficult especially the first time so don't give up after one attempt.”
“I go when I feel very stressed out and overwhelmed and this helps me relax and im relaxed for awhile after these sessions”
“The atmosphere feels sacred and everyone is so respectful of the quiet and healing that happens there.”
“Austin, Hannah, Stacy, Bren and at least a couple other people that I don't have names for, made me feel like I a true human being in a world where we often don't.”
“I don’t think that style of “relaxing/meditation” is right for me but I could absolutely see that being a part of people’s routine.”
From the reviews
My friends got me a gift card to have a float and it was the BEST experience! I will definitely be back to do this again. So much fun and I actually fell asleep ♥️ Definitely relaxing, and just what I needed!
Great experience with Float Harder. Very relaxing overall. I find it most beneficial after I workout.
Had my first float ever today. What an amazing experience. The facility is clean, professional, with ever small detail and amenity taken care off. The 90 minutes went by quickly, and I felt so relaxed and peaceful afterwards. It felt like my mind underwent a full reset and my body was totally at ease. I’ll be back!

Your first float at Float Harder Relaxation Center
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.
