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 Mountain Float Spa 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.

From the reviews

The environment is so calming and clean. I've floated here at least 4 times. You really do need to give it a few attempts to get used to the process and fully allow yourself to relax. Buy the introductory package of 3. **YOU ARE NOT INSIDE A POD. You open what looks like a shower door and see an oversized tub.

I went there for my birthday and it was a lovely experience. Denise was very kind and warm and detail-oriented. It was my first time in a flotation tank, and WOW, 90 minutes of weightlessness is so blissful and relaxing. The price was reasonable for such a high quality experience.

I am a long time advocate of flotation and I have floated a few places. Most recently I was a client at Zephyr float in Kingston. I decided I needed to make a change. I am so glad that I did!! I wish I had tried floating at Mountain Float Spa before. The Facilities were clean, large, and clearly Spa standard.

★★★★★ — Jennifer, May 2024

Due to an email mistake (on my part) I ended up showing up pretty late. Mountain Float Spa STILL took me in and gave me a beautiful experience. The massage was incredible. Staff were extremely kind. Offered water and chocolate. Just overall such an amazing spa and experience and I recommend everyone to visit!

Your first float at Mountain Float Spa

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.
