WHAT FLOATING OFFERS
Floating for pain relief
The reduction in the force of gravity that the body experiences inside the float tank. This allows a better blood flow that will improve the general conditions. Plus the release of endorphins into the system. Endorphins are natural painkillers that block the transmission of pain at the synaptic level.

Floating for athletic performance
Floating maximizes the benefits of fitness training, exercise, and workouts. Although exercise stimulates muscle growth, the growth occurs during relaxation, some 30-40 hours after exercise. The deep relaxation of floating in Hove improves blood circulation, and accelerates the growth and regeneration of muscle tissue.

Floating FAQ’s
Do I need to bring anything?
If you have longer hair, you may want to bring a brush. Also if you have contact lenses, please bring something to store them in while you’re floating. Other than that, we provide everything you need (towels, earplugs, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and a hair dryer)
What do I wear in the tanks?
It’s birthday suit time, however we completely understand this can be daunting the first time, so you can wear a costume if you like, your room is private, so we will leave that completely up to you.
What if I am Claustrophobic?
You have complete control of your environment. You can leave the light on or get out anytime. You can start by leaving the float tank door slightly open until you feel settled and relaxed. Being in the tanks is more like floating in outer space than being shut in a box. You’re always in control of your environment, and even people with extreme claustrophobia have reported having no problems with their time in the tank.
How do you clean the tanks?
The water is fully filtered 4 times between each float. A powerful pump and the very latest in filtration technology are incorporated in the design. Existing floatation tanks filter at around 30 microns whereas the i-sopod filters are fully effective to one micron which is an incredible 100 times smaller than a human hair!
Also the Epsom Salts are a natural disinfectant and are in abundance in the water – please do not worry you will not smell like you just came out of a public swimming pool or a hot tub.
