What is Dry Floating?
Imagine the feeling of total weightlessness without ever touching a drop of water. Dry floating utilises a specialised bed filled with warm water and Epsom salts, kept at a constant temperature. You remain completely dry, separated from the water by a thin, highly flexible membrane that contours perfectly to your body. It’s all the benefits of traditional flotation therapy, minus the salt, the showers, the cleanup, or the feeling of being enclosed.

Why Your Body Will Thank You
What are the benefits of Dry Floating?
When you remove the pressure of gravity, your body finally gets a chance to reset.
Dry floating provides a weightless environment that allows for:
- Decompression: Relieve pressure on your joints
- Muscle Recovery: Ideal for athletes or those with chronic pain; it helps reduce muscles aces and pains and improves recovery
- Improved Circulation: Without pressure points, your blood flows more freely, aiding natural healing.
- Better Sleep: Just 30 minutes on our bed can help to improve sleep quality
Curious What It's Like?
What Happens During A Dry Float?
No water touches your skin. You lie on a thin membrane above body-temperature Epsom salt water, cocooned and completely dry from start to finish.
Every session at Blossom Wellbeing is designed around you:
- Zero Gravity, Completely Dry: A soft membrane keeps you dry while you float free of any pressure points
- Body Temperature Comfort: The water is warmed to skin temperature, so the boundary between you and it disappears
- Total Sound Control: Noise-cancelling headphones or room speakers let you choose silence, music, or guided relaxation
- Flexible Session Lengths: Choose 30 or 60 minutes, with a five-minute settle-in period to ease you in
Fully Accessible
Wellbeing for Everyone
Our dry floatation space includes a self-use hoist to support carers who are assisting clients during their visit. This helps make the experience more accessible, comfortable and dignified, allowing clients to enjoy the benefits of dry floatation with support from their own carer.
The hoist is available for use by carers who are familiar and confident with the equipment. If you have any questions about accessibility or would like to discuss your individual requirements before booking, please get in touch with our friendly team.
Our most frequent questions and answers
FAQ
How is "Dry" floating different from a traditional float tank?
In a traditional float tank, you lie directly in saltwater. With Dry Floating, you are separated
from the water by a soft, ultra-thin membrane. You get the exact same sensation of
weightlessness and warmth, but you stay completely dry. No salt in your ears, no need to
wash your hair, and no messy cleanup.
Do I need to bring a swimsuit?
Nope! Because you stay dry, you can float in your everyday clothes. We recommend wearing
something loose and comfortable to help you fully relax. If you’re coming from the office or
an event, you can just hop right in.
I’m claustrophobic, will I be okay?
Absolutely. Unlike some traditional pods that "close" you in, our dry float bed is open. You
have full control over your environment, and there is no lid over your face. Most people who
struggle with small spaces find dry floating much more approachable and relaxing.
How long is a session?
Our standard sessions are 30 or 60 minutes. Because the body reaches a state of relaxation
much faster in a weightless environment, even a 30-minute session can leave you feeling as
refreshed as a long nap.
Do I need to take off my jewelry?
We recommend removing large jewelry, watches, or sharp accessories. This ensures you can
relax fully without anything pressing against your skin and protects the delicate membrane of the float bed.
Is there anyone who shouldn’t dry float?
Dry floating is incredibly safe for almost everyone, including pregnant women (who often
love it for the relief from back pressure!). However, if you have a serious medical condition
or have recently had surgery, we always recommend a quick chat with your doctor first.
Is dry float therapy good for sports recovery?
Yes. Research on floatation-REST, the clinical form of dry float therapy, has found benefits including lower blood lactate after intense exercise, reduced muscle tension and pain, and better next-
How soon after training or racing should I use dry float therapy?
Most athletes book a session within a day or two of their hardest training or a race, when muscle tension and fatigue are at their peak.
