Like floating in space
Very high buoyancy water (twice that of the Dead Sea) & ambient temperature maintained at skin temperature, effectively removing all external tactile sensations & gravitational pressure.
Total Stillness
Discover a sanctuary for your senses, where silence & stillness become the ultimate luxury.
Mental Benefits
Floating has consistently been shown to reduce pain, anxiety, and depression, as well as improve sleep quality and general well-being.
Stress and Anxiety Reduction
Floating helps lower cortisol levels (a stress hormone) and promotes a state of deep relaxation, which can be beneficial for managing stress and anxiety.
Improved Sleep & Mental Clarity
The relaxation achieved during float therapy can lead to better sleep quality and more restful sleep patterns. Reducing sensory input also clears the mind, reduces mental fatigue & improves cognitive function.
Creativity & Mindfulness
The meditative state achieved during floatation can foster creativity, mindfulness, and overall mental clarity.
Physical Benefits
The buoyancy of the water and the reduced gravity environment minimize pressure on the body, while the Epsom salts in the water, being high in magnesium, have anti-inflammatory properties.
Improved Circulation
The reduced gravity environment and Epsom salts can improve circulation and increase vasodilation, potentially aiding the healing process and reducing swelling.
Enhanced Athletic Performance
Break through performance plateaus with faster recovery, reduced muscle soreness, and decreased levels of stress hormones.

Float therapy, answered
The questions people ask us most.
What does floating feel like?
You lie back in skin-temperature water with about 500 kg of Epsom salt dissolved in it, so you float effortlessly. With light and sound switched off, your body stops bracing against gravity and your mind grows very quiet. Most people describe it as deep, weightless calm.
What does the research say?
Floatation-REST has been studied for decades. A 2018 PLOS ONE study found that a single one-hour float substantially reduced anxiety in 50 people with anxiety and stress-related disorders, and a 2014 study of 12 sessions over seven weeks reported less stress, depression and pain, and better sleep.
Is floating like meditation?
It is meditation made easier. The pool removes light, sound, touch and the pull of gravity, so the brain has far less to process. Many people reach a calm, meditative state in their first session without any training.
Who should not float?
Please skip floating during menstruation, with open cuts, fresh tattoos or freshly dyed hair, or if you have a contagious skin condition or uncontrolled epilepsy. If you are pregnant or have a medical condition, check with your doctor first.
How often should I float?
The effects build with practice. We recommend starting with 3 sessions close together, then floating every one to four weeks. Research programs have used up to 12 sessions.
Where can I try float therapy in Vietnam?
Float therapy came to Vietnam in 2017 with Float Vietnam in Hanoi. In Ho Chi Minh City you can float at Ōmni Space, a new space opened in 2025 at 16C Quốc Hương, Thảo Điền, open daily from 9:00 to 21:00.
