Sensory Deprivation Tank Therapy in Leeds

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. Scientifically, sensory deprivation has been shown to promote the transition of brainwaves from alpha and beta frequencies to theta waves – slower rhythms typically associated with deep relaxation or the onset of sleep. Theta waves have been linked to enhanced learning, creativity, and a positive mental state. Thus, the floatation tank offers a unique opportunity for individuals to delve into a state of profound relaxation while potentially unlocking newfound levels of mental clarity and creativity.

Float Therapy – Your Questions, Answered

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.
Here’s what you can expect:

  • One guest per session – total privacy
  • Water filtered after every use
  • Sanitised using UV, hydrogen peroxide, and continuous filtration
  • Regular top-ups to keep it in perfect condition

Nothing at all – and that’s what we recommend!
Wearing swimwear can cause pressure points or distractions. You’ll be completely alone in your float room, so it’s best to float nude for full comfort.

We’ve got everything ready for you:

  • Fresh towels and robes (if needed)
  • Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash
  • Hairdryer
  • Moisturiser, deodorant, and face cream

If you prefer your own products, feel free to bring them.

To keep your float clean and enjoyable:

 

  • Take a quick shower before floating
  • Remove all oils, lotions, and makeup
  • No fake tan or freshly dyed hair, please – it can damage the water
  • Use Vaseline (provided) to cover any cuts or scratches
  • Earplugs are available and recommended

You can choose from:

  • 45 minutes – great for pregnancy or first-timers
  • 1 hour – our most popular option
  • 1.5 hours – for a deeper unwind
  • 2 hours – the full mind-body reset

Top tip for first-timers: Arrive 10–15 minutes early for a short intro. You’ll shower before and after your float, and you’ll have 15 minutes post-session to get ready.

Not in the same tank – but we offer a lovely couples combo session:

  1. One floats, the other enjoys a massage
  2. Short reset
  3. Then you swap!
  4. Afterwards, relax together with a complimentary herbal tea and biscuit

Yes, absolutely. Many pregnant guests find floating eases pressure, reduces swelling, and improves sleep.
If it’s your first time, we recommend starting with a 45-minute session – but do check with your midwife or GP first.

Our float tank is much more spacious than people expect – and you’re fully in control the whole time.
You can:

  • Leave the lid open
  • Keep the lights on
  • Exit any time

Most guests say it feels more like floating on a warm, private cloud than being enclosed.

Yes – gentle music plays at the beginning and end of your float to help you settle in and come out slowly.
Prefer silence? Just let us know.

Even one session can leave you feeling relaxed, restored, and more balanced.
For long-term benefits, we suggest floating 2–3 times per month.

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.
