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

Soooo relaxing. If you have never floated before you have to try it. I can't swim and have a fear of drowning. So when I fell asleep on my first float, I was completely blown away. Did I mention I also have insomnia?

I was hooked at my first float! I am now an Unlimited Member alternating one and two hour floats three days a week. Floating has provided me the opportunity to destress and begin an inner journey of peace. Once a float has concluded I center and protect my cleansed aura with love and white light.

I've been to True REST Float Spa in 4 different states. This San Diego spot levels up to them all -- well organized, warm & friendly staff, and a float experience that you didn't think was necessary until the 60-min is over and wish there was more...and more. Becca (staff) made sure our float session was the BEST!

★★★★★ — Sam, Jan 2026

Fabulous customer service! This float company made me so comfortable and well cared for. You can float with your pod door open or closed, you can choose your music, and choose your lighting. There is ample time to shower after and they provide the shampoo, conditioner and body wash.

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.
