☆☆☆☆☆ 5/5

Can’t recommend float spa enough, new to Hove is tried other yoga studios and treatments mainly infared saunas... this place is the best in the area, so clean so professional and great value. A little gem in hove.. staff are all lovely and professional yet very friendly, a truly lovely experience .

Small, intermate yoga venue with very good pricing and classes. Staff are very friendly and new starters immediately looked after and welcomed.

A great experience, I was nervous, but was soon put completely at ease by the lovely staff, took a few minutes to adjust and I kept my light on in the pod and emerged feeling VERY relaxed. Enjoyed the tea and sorbet afterwards. Loved it.

A truly wonderful experience. I had my first float last week- it was incredible. I was a bit nervous to start but the lady who looked after me reassured me by talking me through the whole process and made me feel completely at ease. The float spa and floatation tank room themselves are spotlessly clean and have a very relaxing atmosphere. Everything is provided for you- towels, showering products, wipes, ear plugs- they have thought of everything!

What Floating Offers

Floating for pain relief

By essentially stopping gravity working on the body, floating allows muscles and joints to totally relax which relieves pain and allows for better blood flow which aids healing and benefits every part of the body. Plus the release of endorphins into the system when you relax in a float pod act as natural painkillers that block the transmission of pain at the synaptic level.

Floating during pregnancy

Parents and mothers to-be often suffer from stress and bodily aches and pains. Floating at The Float Spa is a wonderful way to relieve stress and sooth away the tension that causes those aches and pains. It’s also great way for Brighton and Hove mums to have a quick rejuvenation to help prepare for the impending new arrival.

Floating to reduce stress

Stress is rampant in our culture (and particularly here in Brighton) and the havoc this can cause on the human body is well documented. Float tanks are possibly the most relaxing environment we can put our bodies into so the stress relief comes almost instantaneously from floating. It also gets stronger and lasts longer the more you float.

Floating for athletic performance

Floating helps to maximise athletic performance by increasing blood flow in muscles, speeding up recovery times and helping the body relax deeply between training sessions. This accelerates the growth and regeneration of muscle tissue as well as improving focus and clarity of mind.

Floating FAQs

Do I need to bring anything when I float?

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 in the float pod. Other than that, we provide everything you need in our Hove spa (towels, earplugs, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and a hair dryer).

What do I wear in the float tanks?

Nothing, ideally. However, we completely understand this can be daunting the first time, so you can wear a costume if you like. Your floating room is completely 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 float 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 float 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 (the float pods we have in our Brighton and Hove spa) 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 as you will not smell like you just came out of a public swimming pool or a hot tub.
