Open pod or closed pod, what’s the difference?

Both options offer a deeply calming float experience. The choice is always yours. But if you’re curious about the full sensory experience, here’s what changes 👇

✨ Lid Closed
With the lid closed, light and sound are minimised. Creating a true sensory-reduced environment. Many people find this allows their mind to settle more fully and their body to soften into deeper relaxation.

It also keeps the space warm and cocoon-like, enhancing that supported, weightless feeling.

💧 Lid Open
Perfect if you’re new to floating or prefer a little more openness. You’ll still experience the buoyancy of the water and the physical comfort it provides.

You can always begin with the lid open and close it later if and when you feel ready.

There’s no “right” way to float, only what feels best for you.
But if you’re ready to switch off completely, closing the lid can take the experience to another level ☁️

You won’t. And here’s why 👇

Each float pod contains around 1000 pounds of Epsom salt dissolved into water that’s only about a foot deep, which counteracts gravity and makes your body effortlessly buoyant 💧

Because of the high salt concentration, your body naturally floats on the surface. You can’t roll over. You can’t turn face-down. You can’t sink beneath the water. Even if you fall asleep, your body stays safely supported.

That’s one of the reasons floating is so powerful for the nervous system. When your brain realises it doesn’t need to “stay alert” to keep you safe, it can shift out of fight-or-flight and into deep relaxation 💤

Many people even drift into light sleep inside the float pod without any fear of rolling over or going under. The buoyancy does the work for you.

Floating removes pressure from your joints, reduces muscle tension, and creates a weightless environment where your body can truly switch off.

And once you feel it, you’ll understand why people say it’s one of the closest experiences to zero gravity you can get on Earth 🌍

Struggling with sleep? It might not be your bed, it could be your nervous system 🌱

Floatation therapy is designed to support deep relaxation by reducing external stimulation. No light, no noise, no pressure on the body. In this weightless environment, many people find their breathing slows, muscle tension softens, and the mind begins to switch off.

When the nervous system shifts out of “fight or flight” and into a calmer state, the body can access deeper rest. That’s why so many floaters report improved sleep quality, easier bedtimes, fewer night wakings, and waking up feeling more refreshed.

While floating isn’t a treatment for insomnia, it can be a powerful tool to help support:
💤 Deep relaxation
💤 Stress reduction
💤 Nervous system regulation
💤 Muscle recovery
💤 Mental clarity
💤 Better sleep routines

If you’re feeling wired but tired, overwhelmed, or stuck in restless nights, creating space for true rest during the day can make a difference at night 🌝

Floatation therapy supports pain relief by helping the body fully relax in a way most of us rarely experience. When you’re floating in body temperature, buoyant water, your muscles, joints and spine are completely supported, reducing pressure and physical tension 🧘🏼‍♀️

Chronic pain, muscle aches, back pain, neck tension, headaches and stress-related pain can be linked to a dysregulated nervous system. When your body is stuck in fight-or-flight, muscles stay tight and inflammation can increase.

Weightlessness allows the body to decompress, silence allows the mind to switch off and when the nervous system calms, pain can change.

If you experience muscle pain, stress-related tension, chronic tightness or physical burnout, floatation therapy may support your recovery naturally 💧
