What if I can’t float?
Don’t worry about that, we’ve got you covered. With 500KG of Epsom salts everybody floats!
Can I float if I am claustrophobic?
The float pods themselves are much bigger than they appear to be in pictures and are 8 ½ feet x 5 ½ feet! To put your mind at ease feel free to come into Re:set and ask to see the pods for yourself and our staff will be more than happy to show you round. The average person will not be able to touch the sides when they are in the pods – which leaves plenty of room for relaxation!

Absolutely! All the water in our pods goes through the filtration system, the system is the width of 1/100th of a human hair. After every float the water passes through a UV light chamber and has a hydrogen peroxide dosing to ensure that the water is 100% clean and kills any bacteria. The outside of the pod and the rest of the room including: the shower, bench, floor, all switches, and handles are fully sanitised by staff after every use.

The only time the solution can affect your hair is after using keratin treatments. Apart from that, as long as you use shampoo and conditioner after each float to wash away the Epsom salts your hair will be absolutely fine. Even better, your hair will actually be voluminous.
Is the room private?
Yes – there is only one float pod per room, and each room has its own shower cubicle and changing station. You are in complete control – the door locks from your side!
