Floating experience

Eating and drinking

You don’t want to feel full or empty – having a light, easily digestible meal 1,5-2 hours before your float is probably optimal

Caffeine and smoking

On the day of your float it is best to avoid stimulants such as caffeine or tobacco. However, it is up to you to figure out the best formula for you and your biochemistry

Shaving

Avoid shaving on the day of your session - salty water might make your skin feel irritated

Hair dye

If you have recently dyed your hair we recommend not floating for at least a couple of days. The best way to check and see if you can float is by rinsing your hair in water - if the colour doesn’t run then you’re good to float

Tattoos

We recommend waiting at least 4 weeks after getting a tattoo before you float again

Women’s health

Due to health reasons we discourage floating during and straight after your period

Things you need to bring

Nothing – we will provide you with everything you need: slippers, towel, private shower with body wash, shampoo and conditioner and a hairdryer

Arrival

If it is your first visit at Float Zone Sofia, please arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled session so that we can register you and walk you through the details of the float session

Right before your float

Please take a shower and take off your watch and jewelry. In case you have a scar or a small cut, we recommend applying vaseline to limit the irritation caused by salty water
We also encourage you to use the provided earplugs to prevent water from entering your ears

During your float session

We recommend that you float naked so that you feel completely free
Carefully enter the capsule and lie down in a comfortable position. Allow your head and neck to relax and feel the tension release from your muscles
At any moment you can switch on/off the light and music or open the capsule if you feel uncomfortable
If you get salty water in your eyes, to get rid of the irritating feeling, please use the spray bottle filled with fresh water
You will know that your session has come to an end when you notice water circulating in the capsule
