What to expect during your float

When you visit Cloud 10 Floatation you have access to your own private float room with the pod and shower. After your relaxing float you can relax with a drink and marvel in your new found post-float-glow.

The floatation experience itself is where the magic really happens. You’ll spend your time relaxing in a shallow pool of warm, super-salty water in a light-proof, sound-proof tank. The salt water contains around 550kg of dissolved Epsom Salts, making it very buoyant allowing you to float gently and helping to relieve all those posture-related aches and pains caused by the effects gravity on the body.

The water is kept at a temperature of 35C (approx) to ensure the perfect floating experience, and it will leave you feeling amazing. More details on how the float process works here.
