The tanks & rooms here
No lid to close over you — the answer for anyone who feels boxed in. Open pools, open rooms, or pods whose door stays open.
The classic enclosed capsule with a hinged lid. Deepest sensory deprivation; you lie down and pull the lid to.
Water & cleaning at Mamabear Massage & Float
Sanitation is the thing seasoned floaters care about most, and most directories never show it. Between every float, the salt water should be pumped through fine filtration and disinfected — salt alone is not enough. From Mamabear Massage & Float's own information: UV sterilization, ozone, hydrogen peroxide.

From the reviews
Rebecca is AMAZING! The space is so relaxing and that massage was incredible. She has such a relaxing touch and great attention to detail. There is also a salt water float tank available that I will definitely be trying next time. I’m leaving her space feeling so relaxed and refreshed. What a wonderful place!
I had recently won a Free 30 min Sensory Deprivation Float and it was Amazing! Rebecca was very welcoming and explained everything thoroughly upon my arrival. I will definitely be back to do another float or try out another service that is offered! As a busy Mom this will be my new place to escape and relax
I recently booked a prenatal massage with Rebecca and had such a great experience! It was so relaxing and helped so much with the aches and pains I’d been having. It’s so nice that they have the float tanks and other treatments as well. I would highly recommend coming here and will definitely be back!
After a wonderfully relaxing and healing soak in the float tank I had a wonderfully relaxing and healing massage with Rebecca. The space is designed for maximum comfort, and the massage table is as comfy as a cloud. This was one of the best massages I’ve had.
Your first float at Mamabear Massage & 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.
