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 True REST Float Spa 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.

Water & cleaning at True REST Float Spa

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 True REST Float Spa's own information: down to a 5-micron filter, UV sterilization, ozone, hydrogen peroxide.

The float-industry standard is turning the entire volume of water over at least three times between sessions through a 1–10 micron filter, paired with UV and/or hydrogen peroxide or ozone. If a center doesn't publish its process, it's fair to ask.

From the reviews

It was clean, which was a plus. The magnesium water felt crazy! It was heavy and it made your skin feel slippery. It’s was worth the experience. The only thing that I didn’t like was how after my float and relaxation they tried to sell me a subscription, which kind of ruined the relaxing bliss I was feeling.

Spectacular! 1st time for two of us, redeemed gifts from Christmas. Walk-in and confirm you are there at the kiosk. Greeted by a host, then shown a short video in a small but comfortable room all about the benefits and history of salt floats.

★★★★★ — Jen, May 2025

Peaceful and calm atmosphere and designed very well. Rooms are quiet, float tanks are clean and sanitary. Wonderful place to go for a first time floater. I really enjoyed the oxygen bar after my float. A nice finishing touch to add to your float experience. Awesome service, thanks Rhi!

This was the first time my wife and I were here, and everything was as advertised. The place was clean and warm, and the service was exceptional, but in the end, we didn't enjoy the float. I'm sure there are many people that will love it, it just wasn't us.

Your first float at True REST 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.
