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 • Raleigh 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 • Raleigh

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 • Raleigh'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

This was my first float and it was amazing! The facility was CLEAN and the float was so relaxing. The best part is after your float is done you don’t have to leave right away. You can stay relaxed, drink a cup of tea and head to the oxygen bar.

★★★★★ — Samantha, Dec 2023

I completed a float today at True Rest Float Spa and absolutely loved it! From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. My float consultant, Amber Wood, was especially wonderful and made sure I had everything I needed throughout the experience.

★★★★★ — Kelly, Aug 2025

I have floated in the past, but this is my first time in a "tank" feel, and I enjoyed it just as much. If I lived here, I would have a membership for sure. Consider opening a location in Asheville, NC. please.

★★★★★ — Joellen, Apr 2025

I completed my first float this past weekend, and I must say I absolutely LOVED it. I could not believe that I actually went to sleep. It was so relaxing. The staff was so knowledgeable and friendly, which made me feel so at ease. This was the first time I have done anything like this and will be going back again.

Your first float at True REST Float Spa • Raleigh

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.
