Anxieties and stress simply drift away
Dragonfly Skin offers floatation therapy in Leeds city centre, home to the largest private float tank in Leeds. Sessions start from £70 for one hour, in a fully private room with your own shower. Float weightlessly in warm water enriched with 550kg of Epsom salts and let your body and mind completely reset. For the full reset, combine your float with our private sauna experience just down the corridor.
A sensory deprivation tank, also known as a floatation tank, is essentially a large vessel filled with highly concentrated Epsom salt solution. This infusion of salt enhances the water's density and buoyancy, enabling users to effortlessly float. The primary aim of the floatation tank experience is to induce profound relaxation by eliminating external stimuli. Within the pod, darkness prevails, accompanied by a tranquil silence. Both the air and water temperatures are meticulously adjusted to match the skin's temperature, fostering a seamless sensory experience. Moreover, the abundance of salt ensures complete buoyancy, creating a sensation akin to suspension in mid-air. By depriving the senses of external stimuli and simulating a state of weightlessness, users can effortlessly drift into a meditative state reminiscent of the moments before sleep.
Many guests describe drifting into a deeply meditative, dream-like state – similar to the moments just before sleep. The floatation tank offers a rare opportunity to sink into profound relaxation, with many people leaving feeling mentally clearer, calmer and more creative.
Before your float: use the toilet, remove your contact lenses, and avoid shaving or waxing, heavy meals and caffeine beforehand.
You’ll lie back and float weightlessly in a private float room. The water is skin-temperature and rich in minerals, making it effortless to stay afloat.

It’s great for easing stress, helping with sleep, soothing aches and pains, and giving your mind a proper break. Many people also use it to recover after workouts or just to switch off from daily life.
Try not to touch your face, splash around, or get saltwater in your eyes – it stings! Also, avoid overthinking it. Just relax, breathe, and let your body unwind.
That’s totally fine – it actually happens a lot! The water keeps you safely afloat, and many people say they feel even more refreshed after a float nap.
