Come as you are. We'll do the rest.
Everything worth knowing before your first visit, from what to bring (almost nothing) to the small tricks that make a float even deeper.
Nervous? You'd be in good company
Most first-timers arrive with a worry or two. For the record: the lid can stay open, the water is ten inches deep and the salt holds you on the surface, and the double room has no lid at all and two grab bars. The team will show you how to get in and out before your hour begins, so there is nothing to work out on your own. Here is how other first floats went.
“I was a little nervous about my first float, the fear of the unknown, but from the moment I got to Revival Rooms I was put at ease.”
Customer review“Found it strange for the first few minutes then completely got into the floating, time flew, awesome experience.”
Customer review“Hard to believe you can fall asleep floating in water!”
Customer reviewSix small things that make a big difference
None of these are rules. They just make a lovely float even lovelier.
Eat light, not none
A small bite an hour or two before is perfect. A rumbling tummy is the loudest thing in a float pod.
Go easy on caffeine
Skip the coffee for a few hours beforehand so your mind can settle properly.
Shave earlier, not just before
Freshly shaved skin plus salt water can tingle. Give it a few hours' gap.
Skip oils and fake tan
Come with clean skin and hair, free of anything that could wash into the water.
Arrive 15 minutes early
Time for a cuppa, a chat and the full tour, with no rush on you.
Leave the phone in your locker
The world will keep for an hour. That's rather the point.
Bring yourself. We've the rest covered.
Towels, earplugs, showers, shampoo, conditioner and a warm relaxation room with tea: all included. Contact lens wearers might bring a case and solution, and that's genuinely it.
Wear whatever's comfortable. Most people float with nothing at all, since every room is completely private, though you're welcome to bring swimwear if you prefer.
Three small tips for a deeper float.
One: don't try to relax. Just lie back and let the water do the work. Trying is the opposite of floating.
Two: if your mind chatters, let it. It runs out of things to say, usually around the ten-minute mark.
Three: experiment a little. Door open or closed, light on or off, arms up or down. Your float, your rules.
