Float Therapy at Simple Float is a restorative experience designed to promote deep relaxation, reduce physical tension and give your mind a chance to fully switch off.
You’ll float effortlessly in warm water containing around 400kg of magnesium sulphate (Epsom salt). The high salt concentration creates natural buoyancy, removing pressure from the body and allowing your muscles and joints to relax. The water is kept close to skin temperature, while reduced light, sound and external stimulation create an environment designed for deep rest.
Floating can help support stress relief, muscle recovery, mental clarity and overall relaxation. With the body fully supported and very little sensory input, many people find it easier to slow down mentally and reach a deeper state of calm than with conventional relaxation.
At Simple Float, you can choose between our private float pods for individual sessions and spacious float cabins for couples. Both offer the same weightless experience, allowing you to choose whether you want complete solitude or to float together.

COMBINE FLOATING WITH CONTRAST THERAPY AND MASSAGE FOR THE ULTIMATE RESET
COMBO OPTIONS
Why float?
Instant Stress Relief & Deep Relaxation


Research shows that sensory deprivation in a float tank significantly lowers cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for relaxation and recovery (Feinstein et al., 2018).

🧘‍♂️ What this means for you:
✔ Reduces anxiety and tension (Journal of Complimentary Medicine, 2016)
✔ Lowers blood pressure and heart rate (Dr. Justin Feinstein, LIBR Neuropsychology Lab)
✔ Helps improve sleep by calming an overactive mind

💡 Example: A 2018 study found that just one hour of floating decreased stress levels and increased feelings of relaxation and well-being, similar to deep meditation.

Full-Body Pain Relief & Muscle Recovery
Floating removes gravity’s pressure from your joints and muscles, allowing your body to fully relax and recover. Studies have shown that the magnesium in Epsom salt helps reduce inflammation and relieve muscle soreness.

💪 How it helps:
✔ Eases muscle tension and joint pain (Fibromyalgia study, 2018)
✔ Accelerates post-workout recovery for athletes (National Center for Biotechnology Information, 2014)
✔ Helps with chronic pain conditions like arthritis and migraines

💡 Example: A study in the Journal of Pain Research (2016) found that fibromyalgia patients experienced a significant reduction in pain and increased mobility after float therapy sessions.
Mental Clarity & Focus
Floating reduces external distractions and allows your brain to enter the theta wave state, associated with deep relaxation and creativity. This is the same state people reach in deep meditation.

🧠 What you gain:
✔ Increased focus and creativity (Osaka University, 2018)
✔ Improved problem-solving skills (University of Cincinnati, 2016)
✔ A clear, refreshed mind—like a mental reset

💡 Example: Elite athletes, CEOs, and artists like Stephen Curry and Joe Rogan use float therapy to enhance focus and visualization techniques before competitions and performances.

Floating triggers the release of endorphins (the body’s natural “feel-good” chemicals) while also reducing stress hormones that interfere with sleep.

😴 Proven benefits:
✔ Increases melatonin for better sleep quality (Sleep Medicine Journal, 2017)
✔ Reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression (National Institute of Health, 2018)
✔ Leaves you feeling refreshed and energized

💡 Example: Studies have shown that people who struggle with insomnia report better sleep after just a few float sessions, with effects lasting for days.
YOUR FIRST FLOAT
IMPORTANT
Refrain from consuming coffee for several hours before your session, as it can lead to jitteriness. Avoid shaving or waxing a day prior to your session, as the saltwater may cause skin irritation. Having a light meal approximately 1 to 1.5 hours prior to your float prevents stomach rumbling during your session. Apart from these recommendations, there is no specific preparation required.
ARRIVE 15 MIN BEFORE

Register your arrival at the reception desk. Our Simple Float consultants will answer your questions and will make a small tour around the center.


If you are late there is a huge chance you will need to reschedule. We value the quality experience our guests receive and we can't allow late float session starts because it might disturb other floaters.
TAKE A COOL SHOWER
Please avoid hot water. We recommend cool showers before the float so that you will not experience contrast between extreme warmth of the hot shower and neutral temperature of a float tank. Dry your face with a towel so that water drops will not disturb you when you will be inside the tank
ENTER THE FLOAT TANK
Step into the water. Close the lid or the door behind you. Carefully position yourself on the surface of the water so that water splashes won't get on your face. You can switch the lights off by pressing the button when you're comfortable to do so. Now just relax and breathe.
Please note that you can open the door and exit the float tank at any point of float session.
RELAX
Nobody will disturb you during your personal 60 minutes of Simple Float. You will have a chance to be alone with yourself for an hour or even longer. Find a comfy spot for your body and enjoy serenity and tranquility of nothingness. You will notified by gentle music and lights that your float session is over.
SHOWER AGAIN
Get rid of the salt, get dressed and leave the float room.
ENJOY
Don't rush to jump back into hectic pace of the city. Catch more relaxing time in our lounge zone. If you need to dry your hair - you are welcome to our vanity room equipped with everything you need. Feel yourself at home. Have some tea, read a book or draw a picture. Enjoy your post-float glow!
Get free from stress and pain. Sleep like a baby even after just one float session!

Float Therapy History
The practice of floating, particularly in sensory deprivation tanks or isolation tanks, has its roots in mid-20th century research and development.
  • 1950s: The concept of sensory deprivation for psychological research emerged during this period. Scientists like John C. Lilly experimented with sensory isolation tanks, exploring their effects on consciousness and brain activity.
  • 1960s: John C. Lilly, a neuroscientist, created the first modern float tank, also known as an isolation tank, in 1954. He continued refining the design throughout the '60s. His work aimed to explore altered states of consciousness, studying the effects of sensory deprivation on the mind.
  • 1970s: Float tanks gained popularity during the 1970s as a tool for relaxation and stress relief. This era saw the emergence of commercial float centers, offering sensory deprivation experiences to the public.
  • 1980s-1990s: Despite initial interest, float tanks experienced a decline in popularity due to various factors, including misconceptions about the experience and limited public awareness.
  • 21st Century: Interest in floatation therapy resurged in the early 2000s and continued to grow steadily. Advancements in technology, the spread of scientific research on the benefits of floating, and increased interest in alternative wellness practices contributed to its resurgence.
Today, floatation therapy has gained recognition as a form of complementary therapy for relaxation, stress reduction, pain management, and mental well-being. Float centers worldwide offer these experiences, often in carefully designed and improved float tanks, catering to those seeking physical and mental rejuvenation.
