What is float therapy?

You float in silence. That's it. That's the whole thing.

A float tank is a private room with a shallow pool of warm water saturated with 900 lbs of Epsom salt. You float effortlessly — no effort, no sound, no light. Just you.

Most people have never experienced true silence or real weightlessness. In 60 minutes, your nervous system gets more rest than a full night of sleep for some people.

What to expect

What your first float actually feels like

01

The first 10 minutes

Your mind is still busy. Your body hasn't let go yet. This is normal. Everyone goes through it. Just breathe.

02

Then it shifts

Somewhere in the middle, something releases. Your body stops bracing. Your thoughts slow down. This is the float.

03

The way out

Soft music brings you back. Most people emerge calm, clear, and lighter than when they went in. It stays with you.

New — Boston's newest float tank

Float together.
Meet the XL Dream Pod.

Float Boston's new XL Dream Pod is one of the only couples float tanks in the Boston area. Roomier, longer, and built for real human beings — finally, a tank made for two.

Built for two

Side by side, in silence

Float side by side in the same room. Share the experience, the silence, and the reset — together. One of the only couples tanks in Boston.

XL size

Fits tall people

Significantly larger than standard tanks. If floating never felt comfortable before because of size or space, this changes that.

1,000 lbs of salt

Effortless buoyancy

Even more buoyancy. You float effortlessly — no tension, no gravity. Your body finally gets to fully let go.

From the owner

Float Boston is a place anyone should feel welcome

Most wellness centers try to be luxury. Granite counters, white walls, high-pressure sales staff. Not here.

I want Float Boston to be somewhere anyone can come and feel at home. 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.

Whether you're here for the first time or the hundredth, we're here for you.

I'm glad my first float tank experience was at Float Boston. The owner Mark was willing to answer any questions to help ease my nerves and excitement. I immediately felt comfortable in his space.

My fiancé and I had a wonderful experience. We both found the space warm and welcoming, the float itself very comfortable, and found ourselves incredibly relaxed afterwards. Highly recommend!

This place is excellent. I consistently leave feeling relaxed and refreshed. The owner, Mark, keeps upgrading the float and recovery experiences they offer, and I am always impressed at the friendly, helpful service I receive there.

Questions people ask before their first float

Do I need to bring anything?
Nothing. We have towels, washcloths, soap, shampoo, hair dryers, lotion, and more. If you have specific toiletries you prefer, bring those — but you don't need a thing.
Do I need a bathing suit?
Nope. Your room is completely private. Most people float without one — but if you're more comfortable wearing one, that's absolutely fine.
Is the water clean?
Yes — rigorously. The high salt concentration alone prevents anything pathogenic from surviving. We also treat with UV light between every client and maintain hydrogen peroxide in the water at all times. The tank is fully filtered 3–4 times between each session.
Will I actually float? What if I'm claustrophobic?
You will absolutely float — Epsom salt makes it physically impossible not to. If you're concerned about claustrophobia, our XL Dream Pod has significantly more headroom and width, and our Summer Sky tanks have interior lighting you can control. Many people with claustrophobia float comfortably here.
