What your first float feels like
Everyone has different experiences in a float tank. Some feel like they’re drifting in a weightless void, others have the most profound thought and ideas and yet more create their masterpieces while floating.
Beginning
In the beginning, most people feel that the float is taking forever. The first 10 minutes feels like an eternity. Your mind races, and your body struggles to relax.
Middle
Then the real float begins. Your body relaxes, your mind calms. The darkness takes you on a journey that only you can explain. This is where the magic happens. Time flies.
End
Then you are gently taken out of your experience with calming music. As you exit the tank, treat this like the end of a good dream. Reflect as you shower, or use our meditation room.
Float Boston - Your community Float Center
Most wellness centers try to be luxury. They want to be the place you go to spend as much as you can, and they look the part. Granite counters, white walls, high pressure sales staff. Not here. I want Float Boston to be somewhere anyone can go and feel welcome. A place where you can afford to take care of yourself without breaking the bank. A place to belong. A place my mom would have been proud that I owned.
That’s why we’re here, to serve the community in which we reside. Whether you’re here for the first time or the hundredth, we’re here for you.

Floating FAQ's
Do I need to bring anything
We have showers in house, and everyone showers before and after getting in the tank, so if you have special toiletries you want, you should bring those, too. We have towels, washcloths, soap, shampoo, brushes, hair dryer, lotion, and more.
Do I need a bathing suit?
Nope! Your chamber is totally private. But if you’re more comfortable wearing one, that’s okay of course.
Is the water clean?
Absolutely. Float tank water is generally cleaner, in fact, than most swimming pools or hot tubs because only one person uses them at a time, and they aren’t sweating or wearing sunblock. And we take keeping our water clean very seriously.
The main factor keeping the float tank water clean is the high salt concentration itself. Nothing pathogenic can grow in such salty water. Then we sanitize by treating with germ-killing UV light between every client, and back that up by maintaining an active dose of hydrogen peroxide in the tank at all times. Filtering to remove oils and particulates is taken care of by a swimming-pool-sized filter unit. We filter aggressively between every client, turning the whole contents of the tank over three to four times, to keep our water sparkling.
How big is the tank?
The summer sky tanks are about 7′ long where the Depth’s is 8′ long.
Will I actually float?
Our tanks contain over 900 lbs of epsom salt, so the water is denser than the Dead Sea. Don’t worry, you’ll definitely float. (Unless your bones have been replaced with adamantium – sorry, Wolverine).
Does it matter which tank I float in?
There are a few differences between the Depths and Summer Sky tanks, but both will give you a real float experience.
Summer Sky tanks are taller so they have more headroom and are easier to get in and out of if you have any mobility troubles. They also have interior lighting (that you can turn on and off as you like) with a pretty starlight sky effect. For both these reasons, people concerned about claustrophobia often prefer them.
The Depths (coming mid march, 2026) takes floating to a whole new level. It’s larger, wider, and darker giving you the sense that you’re drifting in the blackness of space.
In the end we charge the same price for both styles because the differences are not as important as what they have in common, which is the warm, dark, quiet pool of Epsom salt water to float in. Many people simply take whichever tank is available at the time they want to float.
