We adhere to an extremely strict set of testing protocols. The water is tested frequently for specific
gravity, pH balancing, sterilisation and temperature.
The high concentration of Epsom salt creates a hostile environment for germs and bacteria. The water
is also run through a triple filtration and purification process with a UV sterilizer.
You’ll find that our water is cleaner than a swimming pool and far more gentle to your skin.

Our pod water is heated to 35.5 degrees (skin temperature).
We recommend that your pre-float shower isn’t too hot so that the pod water temperature doesn’t
appear too cold when you first get in. If you’d like to leave the pod lid open that’s quite ok, just remember that the water temperature may
drop during your float if it’s left open.

We highly recommend you float nude. Clothing and swim wear can be a tactile distraction in the float
pod and detract from your experience.
Don’t worry, your float room is completely private!

Absolutely! Floating is ideal for pregnant ladies as it may be the only chance they’ll get to escape gravity
and the growing weight of their belly, though we don’t recommend floating in your first trimester.
The Epsom salt in the water also works as a natural sedative, so it’s perfect if you’re having trouble
sleeping. The salty water won’t dry your skin out like normal table salt would.
Every woman and pregnancy is different, so to ensure floating is suitable for you, we advise you to
speak to your medical practitioner before booking.

Your first float can be anything from puzzling to amusing, calming or meditative.
It’s an experience like no other, so give your mind and body some time to get used to it. We’ve found
that most people need to float 2 or 3 times before their brain “gets it”.

There’s absolutely no reason you should, but if you do, you’re free to step out of the pod at any time.

For hygiene reasons, anyone who is menstruating we ask you not to float & reschedule your
appointment for another time.

We ask that you please don’t float less than a week after dyeing your hair or applying spray tan, and a
little longer with red hair dyes.
Consider floating first, then dyeing your hair or applying tan. Dyes can permanently damage our shiny
white float pods, which takes considerable time and expense to repair, and you may be liable for
replacement water/Epsom salt costs, repair costs, and lost revenue while the pod is being repaired. If in doubt, just ask us and we’ll be happy to advise if it’s safe for you to float.

We highly recommend not shaving or waxing in the 24 hours before you float, as the salty water may
sting your skin a little.

Yes, your hair will get wet while in the float pod.
To prevent any tactile distractions, we recommend not using a shower cap or swim cap in the float pod
(it won’t hold the water out anyway). We ask that you shampoo your hair before your float to remove any dirt, oils or products that may
contaminate the water. A shampoo and condition post-float helps to get all the Epsom salt out of your
hair. We have a hairdryer available if required.

Nothing! We supply all shower essentials, towels, bathrobes, flip flops, earplugs and hairdryers.
If you need to do your makeup or brush your hair after your float, perhaps bring that along with you.
We have a clothing hangers in the floating room, so that clothes won’t get any Epsom salt on.

Each pod contains over 500kg of Epsom salt, which makes the water extremely buoyant, no matter
your size – everyone floats.

People fall asleep in the pods all the time, and it’s perfectly safe. The super buoyant water prevents you
from accidently rolling over and drowning.

Floating is perfectly safe, but there are some circumstances where it is not recommended.
These include:
• within 24 hours of waxing or shaving
• within 5 days of getting a tattoo
• within 1 week of dyeing your hair or getting a spray tan (see FAQ about hair dye and spray tan)
• if you’re under the influence of drugs or alcohol. We have a zero-tolerance policy on this.
• if you are epileptic and at risk of having a seizure in the float pod
• if you have low blood pressure. Floating decreases blood pressure even further.
• if you have impaired kidney disease
• if you have a contagious disease
• if you have any skin infections, skin ulcers, open wounds, or severe eczema or psoriasis
• within 2 weeks of having gastroenteritis/diarrhoea
• if you have recently had chemotherapy. Please discuss your intention to float with your medical
practitioner
• if you are sensitive to chlorine, bromine, sulphate or magnesium

Yes, children can float but we ask that children under 16 be accompanied by a parent or
guardian. Children are also able to float together with a parent or guardian if desired.
You know your kids better than anyone, so if you think they’re old enough and they’ll be comfortable
with the experience, they may find it beneficial.
Most young kids won’t be able to lie still for the full 60 minutes, so you’ll need to take that into
consideration.
If you haven’t floated before yourself, it may be a good idea to give it a go before bringing your child in,
so you know exactly what they’ll experience and whether it’s right for them.

If desired, the DreamPod is big enough for two people to float together.
In fact, floating side-by-side in the same pod with your partner is great for bonding and can help those
who suffer from anxiety or other fears relax inside of the pod.

Absolutely!
The rooms are lockable, and our staff will only knock on the door in the unlikely event of an
emergency. We understand that to enjoy the full benefits of floatation therapy, you need complete quiet
and the feeling of security.
If you’ve brought a friend or family member, we ask that they do not join you in the float room.

A pre-float shower ensures that all makeup, natural body oils, lotions and product are removed from
your body and hair. Without this first shower, an oily film would develop on top of the pod water and
ruin your float experience.
This is also the reason we ask that you shampoo your hair but not use conditioner in this first shower –
the conditioner acts like an oil in the float pod.
A post-float shower ensures that all Epsom salt is removed from your body. If you stepped out of the
pod and went straight home, you’d develop a thin layer of white Epsom salt from head to toe! Best to
wash that off before you leave or wipe it off should you wish not to shower.

Not at all! The high concentration of Epsom salt have an emollient (softening and soothing) effect. So,
no pruney fingers!
