Question 1

Do I need to book in advance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can book and pay online in advance. Not all packages can be booked online. The website clearly states which packages you need to book by phone.

Question 2

How long does a float session last?

Accepted Answer

You can book a 60-minute float session. This time includes showering and getting changed. For the best results, it’s important to relax for a while after the float session with a glass of water or a cup of tea.

Question 3

Should I bring anything?

Accepted Answer

You don’t need to bring anything with you (not even swimwear). The float room with shower is entirely at your disposal, as are towels, shampoo, shower gel and earplugs. After your float session, you can use the hairdryers, but please do bring your own hairbrush.

Question 4

Is my privacy guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

Floating is a private experience. The float room is situated in a luxurious space, complete with its own shower. The float room and shower are entirely at your disposal and can be locked. You therefore do not need to wear swimwear. You never float together in the same float tank, not even with your partner. Everyone has their own cabin, even if you come as a couple.

Question 5

Is it OK to go floating when you’re pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely!The feeling of weightlessness makes it wonderful not to feel the weight of your bump for a while. This is particularly beneficial for your spine, which is under extra strain during pregnancy, and also helps improve blood flow to all your muscles.It’s not just your body that recovers whilst floating. Your state of mind also finds peace, as your brain is given a break from stimulation. This can also strengthen your bond with your baby. Whilst floating, you become more aware of your unborn baby. You’re both in the same state: your baby in the amniotic fluid and you in the warm water of the float tank.It’s also beneficial to float after pregnancy. Following such a significant physical exertion, floating can help the body recover. After your baby is born, you may experience sleep deprivation – or this may have already set in during your pregnancy. To help manage this sleep deprivation to some extent, floating is also recommended: 1 hour of floating is equivalent to 5 hours of sleep.You may float up to and including 38 weeks. Once you have given birth, you should wait 8 weeks before you can tolerate the salt water again. If you are breastfeeding and would like to float, please always contact us first.

Question 6

How often can you float?

Accepted Answer

You can float daily without any problems. Floating has a positive, relaxing effect that lasts for more than a day.

Question 7

What if I fall asleep?

Accepted Answer

Nothing happens if you fall asleep. The body remains afloat due to the salt content in the water and is shielded from external stimuli. The brain only receives a signal to turn over when it detects that blood flow somewhere in your body is not optimal due to constriction. This does not happen during a float session because the pressure on your body is relieved by weightlessness. You simply carry on sleeping until you receive a signal that the float session is over.

Question 8

Can I get cold?

Accepted Answer

No, the water in the floatation cabin is kept at a constant temperature. This is 35.5˚C. As soon as you step out of the bath, it may feel a little chilly at first, as the temperature in the bathroom is lower than in the floatation cabin. Have a nice hot shower (or even a quick cold rinse) for an extra sense of relaxation!

Question 9

Does my skin get wrinkled, like in a regular bath?

Accepted Answer

No, adding magnesium salt simply keeps the skin smooth. If anything, the skin will feel softer than before. The pH of the bath water is around 7, which respects the skin’s natural pH balance.

Question 10

Is the water changed every time?

Accepted Answer

After each float session, the water is automatically passed through a specially developed purification system for 15 minutes. The water is passed through a special filter, a UV lamp and an ozone system. In addition, the water is tested regularly. We take the environment into account by using ozone instead of hydrogen peroxide to purify the water.

Question 11

Can I get sick if someone has floated before me?

Accepted Answer

No, this is not possible. After every float session, the water is filtered and fully sterilised. The risk of contracting an infection is many times greater in everyday life, for example in a swimming pool. During the night and when no one is floating, the water is filtered every four hours.

Question 12

Can you float when you have your period?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it’s the same as in a swimming pool. We assume you’re using a tampon for hygiene reasons.

Question 13

I am claustrophobic, is floating even for me?"

Accepted Answer

We use spacious float rooms, in which you can simply stand upright. This has advantages over the more claustrophobic float tanks. In the float room, you’re in control of the door, the lighting and the sound. If you’d like to open the door, you can. The room is constantly ventilated, ensuring there’s always plenty of oxygen. This means the chance of feeling claustrophobic is very small.

Question 14

Can you float together?

Accepted Answer

It is not possible to float together in the same pod. This would hinder total relaxation and therefore go against the principle of floating. If you wish to come together, you can both book a float session at the same time and share your experiences afterwards. So everyone is in their own bubble.

Question 15

Are children allowed to float?

Accepted Answer

Yes, children over the age of 14 are also allowed to float. They are given a detailed explanation before they begin their float session.

Question 16

Does floating have a positive effect on everyone?

Accepted Answer

Floating is a very personal experience. The stimuli of gravity, light and sound are removed, allowing your brain to quickly enter a state of relaxation. Unwinding in a world full of stimuli is easier for some people than for others. It is therefore quite possible that you might feel a little restless the first time and find it harder to ‘switch off’. As you float more often, you’ll find that you’re able to relax more and more, both mentally and physically.

Question 17

Can I give floating as a gift?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that’s possible! Give the gift of a float session or a gift voucher for any amount from €45.00. Go to ‘Gift Voucher’ in the menu.
