Cannot recommend this place more. Truly a great experience and an absolutely great place. Mark is very helpful and very kind. Each time I have floated has been better and better. The physical and mental benefits are amazing. If you are thinking about floating, do it. read more

Amazing experience for a couples float. First time for both of us, and we were unsure of what to expect (I was nervous that I'd be a little anxious in the beginning after doing some research). The staff was great and sociable. The float was amazing and relaxing. When the hour was up, we had no idea because the time went by so quickly. The pod was relaxing, and we'd absolutely do it again. Was a little nervous that it might be a terrible date idea for a new relationship (4th date), but it was incredible. read more

Was tense at first because of traffic getting there, but gradually I relaxed and enjoyed the quiet experience for the remainder of the hour.

Incredible experience. Mark was a great resource. Go with an intention and have fun! 10/10

The Depths - just had my first experience in Float Boston's new pod tank "The Depths" and OMGosh it is AMAZing! And my now FAV tank! It's out-of-this world looking and out-of-this world comfortable! Mark has also done great things with the room! BRAVO!! read more

I've been here twice now, in one of the bigger and then the smaller tank. Both times the experience was great and I'm definitely planning on making it a regular part of my self-care. It could be a coincidence but I've had less pain and more energy since starting float therapy read more

First time floatie! (Long time lover of floating.) I booked online on a whim. The confirmation email and orientation video were sent immediately after booking. I appreciated that touch as they provide a solid baseline for those of us who had never floated before. The facility is cozy, comfortable, and a little home-y. It is VERY clean. It is obvious the staff take meticulous care. The staff members were friendly, jovial, personable, and knowledgeable. They broke down the process into simple steps. Floating was...beautiful. As a beginner, I used the pool noodle to keep my head up. I had the star lights on for the first 20(?) minutes - however I braved complete darkness for the rest of my float. I could feel my body relaxing deeper and deeper. It's hard to explain, but the sensation was : the more I relaxed and released tension, the more buoyant I seemed to be. I melted in and out of conscious awareness, coming out of the float completely zen. I usually feel this loose after a massage! My only complaints? The temperature of the water was a little chilly and could have been a more comfortable experience if it were 5-10 degrees warmer. I had goosebumps at the end of my float. There was a significant amount of noise to be heard of people stomping down the hallway. It took me in and out of my mediation. Not super bothersome but present. I still recommend this place! Such kind, caring staff and clean facilities! read more

Cool experience in a clean establishment. The staff was nice and hospitable, gave a quick orientation and I was in! I don't think he told me his name though. I chose the Summer Sky 2 room due to my claustrophobia, I had rescheduled when I accidentally picked the escape pod, which probably would be fine for my second visit. They have a shower in the room for you to shower before and after the session, as well as shampoo, body wash, ear rinse, but no conditioner, so bring your own. There is conditioning spray at their mirror which is in the middle of the hallway. I had to use the blow dryer which I imagine could be heard in the tank if someone was in it, but cannot confirm. It was weird to get ready after the session in the middle of the facility. The experience was really nice but felt familiar. It was the first time I floated in an isolated setting but it felt like it wasn't (probably because I've floated many times and easily while swimming.) The temperature was a little cool, it could have been 1-3 degrees warmer. I made a few mistakes and did not put the ear discs in properly, and ended up getting salt water in my ears and eyes multiple times which definitely ruined the experience. Do not get the water in your eyes under any circumstances. Even though it was my fault, it made me want to get out early. I felt it was really helpful for addressing pain, I was able to hear everything (I mean everything) crack. I thought it would be more transcendent than it was, but I'm open to trying it again. I did have a great meditation session, but it was better for physical pain than anything else. This is probably better for people who live in the city and have a difficult time finding a place or time to be completely alone without any sensory input. I live in a pretty quiet area so it almost felt like being home. It's worth a try if you're remotely interested. I think everyone should try floating once. read more

Happy it's back open and they are getting a new modern tank. The water bottles are a nice touch.

I'm planning another float, not here, so I thought I'd put down a review here. I live about 40 mins away with traffic, so I will opt to go north to NH for my next float. If I lived closer, I'd go back for sure. The people who work here were wonderful. Knowledgeable, nice, accommodating and able to keep the atmosphere relaxed which I love. I went with a friend, who hadn't floated before. I now believe we would've enjoyed a different activity together more than this. Floating really is a solitary event and you want to give it the right focus and amount of time. I've been floating for years, especially in college. I would float after a test when I was stressed out to release all the tension. Always loved it, and had problems finding tanks. Even looked at buying a tank at one time. Before Float Boston, I'd been in a tank years ago in Sedona. The reason I'm marking 4 instead of 5 stars, is the actual tank. It was kind of skinnier than I remember, and I've seen reviews of other places who mentioned this was smaller. They have floating room, and I would recommend that over this. Personally, I feel an actual tank is cozier and I like that private dark warm feeling of a tank. I highly recommend floating to all. read more

I love floating!!! I thought I might be claustrophobic, but I totally was not. I tried the summer sky float room first, and I love floating so much that I even tried the other style tank, and I'm not claustrophobic there. I find floating, incredibly relaxing and meditative. Even on days my mind races and i feel like I'm not making the most of my time in the tank, when i get out i feel peaceful and centered and slightly euphoric. This is the only float place I've ever been to, and the staff is always super kind. The environment is super chill & clean. read more

I really hate to have to leave a review like this, but I'm hoping it will catch the attention of the owner. I haven't actually been able to use the services, because my husband bought me a gift certificate for 3 sessions earlier this year, and then this business has been closed for months. Due to Medical issues including a high-risk pregnancy I really only had a small window where I would've been able to do the sessions, and no one forewarned my husband that it would be closed the entire summer. We've been trying to contact the company to get a refund on the gift card, but have been entirely ignored, and it's very frustrating that they've essentially just taken almost $300 of our money. Very poor business practices. read more

Incredibly relaxing and therapeutic! Such a calming atmosphere and a clean and well-maintained place. read more

After hearing rave reviews from my cousin, friends and even Buzz Feed of all places... I felt curious and wanted to experience floating for myself. (Perhaps a bit of peer pressure as well.) One of my friends noticed my interest and got me a gift card for a 60 minute float session and I was ready to go as soon as I booked my appointment. They have an easy way to redeem gift cards and book a session on their online calendar. It's staggered between 60/90 minute sessions and they have the options for 4 different tanks. I chose Summer Sky chamber/tank, which has some small lights that look like stars for you to look at while floating. As this place is in a downtown area of Somerville parking can be tricky, but I found a spot off a random side street. I guess the park would have worked too. Once you enter there's a cubby for you to exchange your shoes for slippers (S/M/L size) and wait to enter the room reserved. They provide water and other amentities for patrons (shampoo, body wash, lotion). I was given a brief introduction about Float and what to do. They provide you with ear plugs to create suction so that salt water doesn't seep in and instruct you to shower before and after floating. They also have ointment for you to use if you have any cuts/scrapes and a neck pillow/pool noodle for support. I turned off the light and hopped in the tank noting that the temperature was quite comfortable at around 85. The tank is filled with about 1 ft. deep of salt water. I don't ever meditate or really disconnect so actually forcing myself in the deprivation chamber was a challenge. I probably spent the first 20-30 minutes just floating back and forth and it wasn't until the last half that I actually feeling the zen then it felt like it ended so soon once I heard the relaxing music. I should have stayed longer now seeing the other reviews of the tea and coloring books as well, but I think I was getting hungry. While I probably would never pay the full price ($60) for another session I'd be interested in looking into other places in the area or if they have some promos going on. Disconnecting for even just 1 hour felt relaxing and worthwhile. read more

My floating experience was amazing. I won't explain my tank experience because they warn those who haven't tried it yet on that because then you'll go in with expectations of what will happen to you and your mind. I will say I closed the door and did not feel an ounce of claustrophobia to my surprise. I will say what I felt after. Absolutely every ounce of tension in my body was released. I get 2 deep tissue massages and Thai bodywork every month and I've never felt this great. I took the most glorious nap after. Relaxation doesn't touch how great I feel. My skin, nails, and hair feel amazing after a 90 minute 850 pounds of epsom salt soak! I have always had insomnia and slept soundly each night after my float (which has continued, currently 7 days later). So yeah, I'd highly recommend it! Easy online scheduling. Very friendly staff. Relaxing environment, inside and outside of the tank at Float Boston! read more

Float Boston - Tank #4. Looks small on the outside, very large inside. - Float Spa Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Although floating (going into a tank filled with about a foot of very salty water) isn't something new, it's new to the Boston area. I went here a couple of weeks ago when they still had limited hours, a waitlist for appointments, and only 2/4 tanks open. Until this changes, expect to wait a couple weeks for your first appointment or stalk the facebook page for last minute cancellations. The place itself has an aura of a budget spa. It's nice and clean but it's small and relatively no frills. Each float room is a private room with its own shower. The downside of this is that the shower is just an open shower next to the tank. My room got relatively flooded from the shower because the drains weren't adequate. They give you cloth slippers to change into and mine got soaking wet- it was unavoidable. I suggest the try flip flops and wash between uses just like they do with slippers. The floating experience itself was interesting. The water was incredibly boyant because of all the salt- think Dead Sea so that was really cool. It was a little hard to get out because the bottom was slippery and you have to work against floating. They really think of everything to make your floating experience more pleasant- they have ear plugs, ear drops (to clean your ears out from all the salt that sneaks in), a spray bottle and wash cloth on the lid of the tank in case salt gets in your eyes, vaseline to put on cuts (they will sting in the salt), two different floats to prop your neck or feet up, and shampoo/body wash. There's a super tiny relaxation area right outside of the bathrooms that they recommend relaxing in afterwards to prolong the experience/let it sink it. In true hippy/hipster style there's herbal tea and plenty of mandalas to color in. Overall, I would definitely recommend trying it out here for the experience. I think I prefer hot tubs and steam rooms to floating tanks, but I think a lot of people would really like it for the therapeutic experience and as a way to shut the world out for an hour. read more

Shoes off, rubber slippers on, into 'ready room,' earplugs in, showered, into the tank, lights off and what? Just felt weird. Totally self aware. Naked. In a tub. With 1000lbs of salty water. In Somerville. Maybe this is how it ends. 10 minutes thinking about who enjoys this. 10 minutes about work. 5 minutes about unicorns. Out. Must have slept for about 30 minutes. Woke up in blackness (eyes open or closed same). Music on, earplugs out, shower, rubber slippers, grab shoes, home. Relaxed like post decent massage. Not epic. But comfortable. Whatever. Went home. Ate dinner. Little Netflix. Then slept for 13 hours. Swear to God. Magic tank. Need to go back? Probably. Admittedly a little weirded out by shared bathwater, chlorinated or not. But yes, if you can relax, it can be epic. read more

Relaxing, clean, kind staff and such a great atmosphere! Easy to book online. Highly recommend!!

I had watched a few YouTube videos about Float Spas and really wanted to try one out for myself. My friend and I booked our sessions online-- both of us chose the sky pods. The staff were very nice. We got stuck in traffic and were a bit late to our appointments, but they were able to accommodate us, which we really appreciated. I was in room 3. They provided shampoo, body wash, towels, a robe, earplugs, and lotion to put over any scratches so that they won't string because of the salt water. After a mini orientation, I took a shower and stepped into my pod. The first few minutes of floating were going well, and then not so much. I thought the pods did not allow sound to come in. For over 15min I was hearing what sounded like someone running up and down stairs. Then a faucet being turned on, and off. This happened over and over again. It was driving me nuts. I tried to ignore the noises around me, but it was impossible. At one point I was staring up at the lit ceiling hoping and praying that whoever was running around would stop soon. When whoever was running around finished whatever it was that they were doing, and I was finally able to get some peace and quiet, I actually started enjoying my float. I lost track of time and space. It was the weirdest, most relaxing feeling. I was kinda bumbed when the music started playing, signaling that my time was up. I know that some people complaint that it's too cold, and while I would have preferred the water to be a degree or two warmer, I understand why it cannot be so. I could have easily given this spa 5 stars had I not spent over a quarter of my time listening to loud footsteps. The whole point of Floating is to be enclosed in a capsule of complete silence, and that was not what I experienced. read more

I came here with my wife as the more adventurous part of our anniversary. We wanted to try something new and Float Boston came recommended to us. I reserved my time online and when the day came, we arrived to be greeted and shown around the place. We learned about the tanks and what is expected of everyone. After choosing our respective tanks, I entered the small private room and showered (It is expected)...and then entered the tank. I took the larger of the two types of tanks as this one had lights in the ceiling and the bottom of the tank was lit as well, though you can shut those lights off (which I did). Floating does take some getting used to at least for me...and it took a while for me to truly relax, not to mention that the place was a little noisy (it's amazing how well water transmits sound), not to mention it was hot and the air was sort of stale inside the tank (It was kind of like breathing concentrated sea air). After about 45 minutes, I was finally able to relax and enjoyed my time in solitude. After my time was up, so indicated from the music that was piped in...I got out and showered again (you're loaded with salt afterwards and believe me, you'll want to!). All in all, a reasonable experience, but definitely one of that takes some getting used to if you are new to floating. There are a lot of reviews that speak of people really liking it and I suppose that floating is different for everyone. Is it for me? No, not really...but I am glad to have had the experience. Would I recommend it to others, absolutely...the place was very well run and I think that everyone should have the experience. read more

What a great establishment. Today was my first time ever trying out flotation therapy/sensory deprivation. I have rods in my back, arthritis, bulging discs bla bla bla. Day two of a painful flare up. This is the only therapy I have not tried... Until today. Upon arriving, your footwear gets set aside and you are asked to put on a pair of there rubber slides. There are (I believe) 4 different rooms with different style/size tanks to chose from when booking. Upon seeing the tank I was a bit hesitant but once everything was explained to me I was comfortable. Step one is put ear plugs (provided) in and shower. Sulfate free shampoo, soap and towels are provided. Shut off light and get into tank. One mistake I made was turning my phone to silent/vibrate. My advice - shut it off or leave it in your vehicle. I was fearful 90 minutes would be too long but it honestly flew by. I took a dry facecloth in the tank w me that I stuffed into the door handle, along with a bottle of water. I needed both. The instructor advised me not to touch m eyes as the salt will burn. Since I have very very sensitive eyes and am allergic to anything w/preservatives in my eyes, I knew to be extra careful. Of course as I put the headrest under my head, 1 single drop of water fell from my arm....straight into my left eye. Ahhhh the pain. Upon stepping into the tub, my legs burned from shaving (suck it up buttercup) and I was instantly lifted and floating. Once I got used to it and the pain in my eye went away, I felt great! So relaxed and clear headed. I was in a meditative state throughout most of the 90 minutes. You know your time is up when the music turns on. Upon getting out I noticed my phone was covered in salt as was my entire face (that did not go under water). Thankful for that in-room shower! My back pain instantly came back but it was a nice 90 minute break. I would say this is more helpful with stress, anxiety and learning how to meditate. 4 stars vs 5 only because my back pain came back and I was really hoping for a miracle. read more

Such a fabulous experience! Ultimate relaxation :) Will definitely be back to float again!

Pitch black. Totally silent. Super cool experience. Trying to explain the tanks in a way that doesn't induce claustrophobia is tricky, but I swear, you don't feel trapped at all during the float. Each tank is in its own little room (so if you sign up with someone else, you'll be saying goodbye as soon as you check in). The decor is spartan, but it does include a nice salt rock lamp. Inside the room is a shower and a giant white tank. It sort of looks like a coffin for a giant. After a quick shower, you swing open the hatch and enter the totally pitch black tank. (You could wear a swim suit, but I think the most common attire is au naturel.) Then close the tank door behind you. (There is no latch or anything, so don't worry about getting locked in.) The water isn't very deep (maybe 8"?). It's supposed to be heated to perfectly neutral temperature, meaning your skin doesn't register it as hot or cold. Personally, the tank was too chilly for me. I'm not sure if it was an error in the temperature or person preference, but I wasn't able to totally relax because I was too cool. The tank is large enough that you can sit up. I probably had an extra 3' of space head-toe and an extra 4' of space side-side. So again, it doesn't feel like you're trapped -- much larger than an MRI machine. The float was a good experience to practice meditation. Don't expect it to come easily-- if you don't regularly meditate, it's not like you can just drop into a dark tank and suddenly master the skill. But it was certainly a quiet space to reflect and try to slow my thoughts. I was worried I would be bored during the hour-long session, but time passed pretty quickly. When your time is up, they will play music in the tank. I was weirdly paranoid that I would miss the cue, but it gets progressively louder, so it will rouse you from your meditative state (or nap). While I didn't experience any flashes of brilliance or overwhelming one-with-the-universe emotions, it was a worthwhile way to spend an hour of time. If it were warmer, I would definitely return. read more

Float therapy is something I have practiced and benefited from for years. Since I am new to the area, this was my first time trying this particular business. The float in tank 1 was nice --but the water should have been warmer to match body temperature. The room and tank both seemed clean. The crystals everywhere were a nice touch. On the other hand, it seems that a couple of the staff members need to float themselves as their customer service philosophy + practice definitley needs growth. They could all use to be more welcoming, positive, and considerate of their guests. I was hurried out of my room by a knock on the door as I was putting on my shorts... In a center for meditation/relaxation, this was quite surprising. The best interaction with an employee I had was with a sweet lady who had only been working at Float for two days. She kindly took a moment from cleaning to show me how the hot water machine worked so I could make tea. Though the overall experience was average/below average, the float was effective and exactly what I needed. However -- Because the customer service definitley needs improvement, I would recommend looking elsewhere to float. read more

I am lying here thinking about when I can go back to float. It's an experience I don't quite know how to explain but I'll do my best. Once they have shown you your room, they explain the process, and you get down to relaxing. I was in spa 2 which was a floor to ceiling room with star lights in the ceiling. It made for a very serene experience and no feelings of claustrophobia. You will float naturally in the Epsom water, and for my first 10 to 15 minutes, I did have some trouble turning off my brain, but after that I am pretty sure I fell asleep floating there. It is a little expensive, but for the experience I do think it's worth it. I came home after and napped after feeling the tension completely float way. I plan to try it again :-) read more

Float Boston - Something to stare at while you're lying in the tank, the starry ceiling. - Float Spa Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

In a word: disappointing. I have wanted to try a sensory deprivation tank since I first saw one on TV as a kid. I don't know what I expected. I mean, I knew it wouldn't be just like Homer and Lisa's trip on 'The Simpsons,' but the way people talked about it as a profound, life-changing experience, I expected SOMETHING. But there was nothing. No visions, no realizations, no particular sense of peace that you couldn't get by lying on a bed in a quiet room. My mind never "went blank," I never felt in touch with some deeper sense of meaning or consciousness. Mostly I was just bored. Please don't misunderstand: the experience was not physically unpleasant, quite the contrary. The facility was very pleasant and clean, the staff warm and accommodating. And for sure it was relaxing -- I just didn't find it any more relaxing than falling asleep on my couch. And at least there I have cable. Perhaps someone more spiritual would find the experience more rewarding. For me it was just floating in the dark, bored out of my mind. I'm glad I went, but I wouldn't go again. read more

My favorite place to float thus far. Warm, welcoming, relaxing atmosphere. They have 2 different style tank to choose from so I can choose depending on my mood or needs. The owners are sweet, and the staff always really nice. I always find parking on the street right out front because I'm lucky, but if you park next to the park down the street it's like a 1-2 min walk, very easy and it's free. :) read more

5/5, and I agree with others it's really difficult to fully describe the experience... Which is evidently (and believable) different from person to person. I did an hour session. I didn't experience much in the first half hour other than a gradual relaxation. The second half hour turned into a surprisingly deep and clear self-therapy session, as in talking to myself through deeply rooted mental insecurities. I'm an avid meditator, so I'm somewhat aware of how noisy the mind is. The mentality clarity in that second half hour gave me an even deeper appreciation for how cluttered my thoughts are. Definitely will do this again. read more

I had such a great experience here! It was my first time floating. The staff member that was there (Shea) was super nice and helpful. Everything was very clean and I also really enjoyed the little area where you can sit and drink tea/read afterwards. Definitely want to come back! read more

Two thumbs up! This was my first Float experience. Parking in the municipal lot was easy and convenient per instructions on the Float website. The person who greeted and instructed me on preparations was extremely polite, outgoing and professional. The place was immaculate. I totally enjoyed the experience and plan to return on a regular basis. read more

I went here with a couple friends and didn't pay anything myself. It was an interesting experience but I don't think that float therapy is for me. We were all booked for a 90 minute session, but I think I only spent 60 minutes with mine and I spent the remaining 30 minutes waiting for my friends to finish, drinking complimentary tea and coloring those adult coloring books. I couldn't get myself to relax in the tank (I had the one with the walls that went to the ceiling) and actually felt uncomfortably hot most of the time. Despite that, I want to give this place 4 stars due to the aura of relaxation and zen-ness that it clearly exudes. read more

Floating! So relaxing. I was so ready to not enjoy my experience at float, but I do have to say it was pretty awesome. Definitely will go again and glad I got the pass for multiple floats. read more

Today was my 2nd visit to Float Boston, and I decided to enroll in the 1 float/month membership. Lying in complete darkness with little to no sounds, in water and air the same temperature as I am - it is easy to forget where I end and the rest of the world starts. Anxiety? stress? pain? all eased by the silence, weightlessness and the healing warm Epson salt(magnesium sulfate) water in a womb-like environment. They have 4 rooms - I have used both the Summer Sky tanks because they are taller so they have more headroom and are easier to get in and out of if - like a huge enclosed walk in tub. They also have interior lighting (that you can turn on and off as you like) with a starlight sky effect. (For both these reasons, people concerned about claustrophobia - try one of these first!). My first float was 60 minutes, and today was 90 minutes. I looked at one of the Escape Pods today and will try that next time. I thought I would have to sit in the "pod" but it is just as long and wide, just shorter, so you can't stand up. No interior lights and some have said more sound proof. Other than that both types of floats are seven and a half feet long on the inside and have about 11 inches of water with over 850 lbs of epsom salt, so the water is very soft and dense and you definitely float. Each private room has a stool and shower, and they provide towels, robe, shampoo and body wash. They also provide the ear plugs and ointment to cover any fresh cuts (the salt will burn!). When your time is up, soft meditative type music starts playing - very softly at first and then gets louder - to wake/bring you back gently. When you leave the room, to allow yourself time to ground if needed, there is a small sitting space with some books, tea & water, and a common shelf with a mirror, hairdryer and q-tips and a gender neutral bathroom. I have been in rooms 2 & 3. Room 2 was definitely quieter than room 3. Room 3 is on the right behind the receptionist area and directly on the other side of the room is their small laundry area - so I did hear people moving around and stuff. I read some reviews that said that room 1 could also hear more - probably because it is right behind the entry. The rooms, go from the left/front 1,2,4, bathroom and from right/front receptionist, 3, laundry, sitting room. The place is very clean and the staff as very friendly and informative - any questions at all are answered with ease. I've read the more often you float, the more benefits you reap so I am going to try monthly. Just wish it was closer to where I live. Maybe the south shore will be the next lucky neighborhood to have Float come to them! They are open 7 days a week 7-10 and seemingly often are fully booked (online reservations - a big plus!), deep discounts when you buy a package or monthly membership. read more

I'll start off by saying the receptionist was very nice and that I opted for the Escape Pod room. I'll also say that my bad experience may have been a function of being in "Room 1" and not more towards the interior of the building. I had several problems with this place that aren't even related to "maybe this isn't for you" (which could also be true). For one, my tank leaked light. If you're in near total darkness the tiniest leak looks like a full moon. I counted 5 of them in the tank. In their defense the wall instructions do say to turn the light off before entering the tank, but I didn't want to do this as I'm not sure how you get to the tank on a wet floor and climb in while in darkness. Even if there is some residual mood lighting this will still leak through the cracks (4 of which were at angles/joints on the tank and the 5th from the door itself). In addition to this, as several others have noted, you hear sounds from outside. These aren't the "I've been in here 10 minutes and my brain is creating sounds" effect but rather the "I just closed the door and can literally hear traffic on Medford St." type of sounds. Think trucks, sirens, buses, etc. You also hear random thuds, though I wasn't able to identify the source. It's really hard to relax and enjoy the experience when you're constantly being disturbed by noises/light. I got out after about 30 min. I pointed the problems out to the receptionist and was told "yeah, that's a problem with this location being close to the road and you can never be totally sound proof". While that may be true (I'm not sure about that statement), it begs the questions of why you would have built this type of establishment on a major road and why you would continue to operate that room if you're aware of the problem. For me, this was a complete waste of $75. No refund, rescheduling or discount was offered. I don't want to try and hurt their business but I also don't want people to waste their money on false expectations. The interior rooms may be better and they weren't rude so going with 2/5. read more

First float, AMAZING! I appreciated the orientation and instructions that were provided to me. Room was simple, inviting and very clean. The float itself was so relaxing and comfortable. I'm glad I had the little buoyant donut for my head as it kept my neck from getting stiff. Looking forward to many floats to come. read more

I don't know what the fuss is about. I couldn't even get my mind to shut off for two seconds after i found someone's hair floating around in the tank that had made its way between my toes (i wore a swim cap, Youre welcome). The stench was unbearable --- i guess it was the salt. And if you don't use ear plus you will definitely hear everything happening outside. Never again. read more

The first time I heard a commercial for Float Boston, I knew it was something I had to try. My only concern was "is it clean and sanitary"? I read about how they clean between sessions and decided to give it a go. I arrived for my appointment was ushered in to the private room right on time. Things looked nice and clean. I got into the tank and started to float. As I was drifting away I felt something float into my face - an old earplug. I had to get up to throw the thing out. I wasn't ready to give up yet. I got back in after a while I was able to relax - until I feel something by my leg - another ear plug.I was pretty grossed out at this point and not able to relax again. Major disappointment. I told the woman working there on my way out and she didn't seem surprised or concerned at all. read more

I had the pleasure of using one of their float tanks in late 2016. The gentleman at the front, I think he is the co-owner, and the other staff were prompt and courteous. I have used two other Float spas but was very impressed the most with this one. Not only are the prices reasonable but the facility itself is very clean and very accommodating. Making an appointment was very easy and the next time I am in greater Boston or Somerville or Cambridge I will make it a point to get back in there for a good 45 minute soak. read more

I came here because of a recent ankle and back injury, thought it might give me some relief. Checking out the website it mentions the cleanliness as did fellow reviewers. Shower was clean- Floating Tub looked clean except for the mildewed caulking and overwhelming smell of a high school gym bag. I was confused why use so much chlorine in a salt bath??? They should be emptying out those tubs every night and filling them back up, not just adding more chlorine . I could've got the same relief in a public pool. Floating did relieve some stress but then I got cold, and no way to personally regulate temperature-While the temperature is adjustable with assistance , I was told that it would've taken some time for the temperature to come up above the 90 something degrees it was. Bummer. The staff was friendly. Don't think I'll go back... On a positive note -during this visit to float- I didn't find any 'pubes' in the tub. read more

I went for my birthday and did a float and thermal bed. Experience was great and reduced rate for first timers
