    Like others before me, I have done the epsom salt in the bath tub to relax type of deal. The typical problem that arises is a) the bathtub is too small b) you end up putting too much or too little water in the tub and c) you get distracted by other things in your apartment. To combat that, there are places like Float Seattle. I did this through ClassPass Even before we start, those who are extremely claustrophobic or allergic to epsom should definitely not do this. But luckily, I am neither of these things. To start, the entrance is located inside the same lobby as Park Metro apartments. So you have to walk through the general lobby first to then enter the door to Float. I was there earlier like they ask as it was first time. If it is your first time to this sort of experience, I wouldn't leave it to last minute because the person there helped me to calm any last minute fears I had (can I drown like this, is there a possibility of a Final Destination scenario, etc) The room was clean. Someone could have been there before and I would not have known. I appreciate the care in materials to make sure my experience was well taken care of. Towels were there for the floor and myself, earplugs and a neck rest to make sure I was comfortable and afloat. Getting inside the pod was a weird experience. I actually slid my butt on the pod floor while trying to get comfortable. I wouldn't recommend. But once I was in, I found myself relaxing and listening to the music provided (I wanted it and the light on for my benefit) Overall, it was a good experience but I have one minor complaint. A change in music is the signifier that your session has stopped. But during my time inside, it was not forceful enough to let me know that it was over. Due to the earplugs, I could barely hear it in the first place. The change sounded like people talking outside of my room. Luckily for me, I had my watch close by so I opened the pod to check it and then I started to prepare to leave. But it didn't take too much from my experience. And it is a good place to try something new Pro tip: salt gets everywhere. Even know I'm finding new crevices where I find a deposit if salt. And swim caps do not work unfortunately.

    Definitely will come back here! I visited Seattle for a week and I had done the float before but I have to say that this is the best location I've ever been to! Excellent service, excellent staff!! Again, excellent staff!! I was there on the 7/12/23 and the lady there just made the experience so pleasant! Please tell her a huge thank you! The location is cozy, stylish and looks like a cute little spa. They have IR sauna and cold plunge rooms also which I didn't try but looked at and it's nice, spotless clean and roomy. The floatation room is your own personal room with an open shower (in the same room as the float) and the pod. The place just screams eco-friendly: the ropes are there but they ask to only use them if necessary - I didn't need mine. They have everything you need: ear plugs, petroleum jelly if you have cuts, the neck pillow (I didn't need) and towels for face and body. Shampoo, conditioner and shower gel are all there as well as the vinegar ear rinse (was very helpful after the salt). Good quality of everything I listed. The room and the pod itself were spotless clean. Instructions are given clearly and also printed on the wall. In the pod you have an option for light and music which are easily findable two big buttons on the right of the inside of the pod. You can plug your own music if you like but I didn't need any. To plug the music or play the music let the attendant know. The water was perfect and clean. Temperature perfect. I was floating with no problem and had amazing experience, deep and meditative! The pod is huge and has plenty of room. I turned off the light so it was as dark as with my eyes completely shut. I used no music as I stayed and I went deep in my meditation. It's unmatched experience... you are tripping for sure and you get a deep deep relaxation in all of your body. I feel like I took a week long vacation. By the end of the one hour season the 5 minute light music played to let you know of the coming finale of the meditation. Then the filters come on you advised to take about 15 minutes for shower but I wasn't rushed. They also have ab amazing selection of retail.. I bought a great Yerba mate chocolate mint tea and magic matcha. Both were loved by me and friends.

    Wonderful experience with great staff I will definitely be back I felt like I was floating through space

    Entrance from the parking garage
    C Hayley H.

    A friend recommended I try using a float tank when I wasn't feeling 100 percent, so I immediately went on Groupon and found Float Bellevue. I bought the Groupon and then scheduled my first appointment that same day online (it was very easy to book, just follow the Groupon instructions). The parking complaints are no joke. There are four very compact spots under the building. You need to be on NE 12th heading towards 112th Ave to access the parking garage (look for a "P" for the entrance). If you can't find a spot or simply can't fit, there's parking at the library nearby or street parking if you can find it (and since you're in downtown Bellevue, you don't have to pay to park on the street). When I entered the Float Bellevue suite, I was greeted by a very friendly employee with a calm demeanor. Loved it! I didn't have any expectations, but I would have liked for the employee to share more information about float tanks when I told him it was my first time and that I didn't know anything about them. The float room was very minimal. There's a shower, bench, and the float tank itself. I put earplugs in before I showered, then I entered the float tank in the nude. The color in the water was yellow--not the most appealing color to get into when you see lighted blue and green colors in the ads. It didn't make a big difference to me though, just looked a little off. The tank lid opens and closes with a push, so you can never get trapped. There is a button inside the float tank to turn the light on/off and another to control music if it's part of your session (it's not part of the Groupon session). I'm only 5'2" but I could extend my arms out and touch both sides at the same time, and when I extended my arms above my head, I could touch either side as well. While I was floating, I continued to bump into the walls, which took away from the sensory deprivation experience. Maybe I wasn't floating right or doing the proper technique? No one told me how to float, so that could certainly be it. For a person who doesn't do yoga or meditate, I can't say a float tank was for me. It definitely made me feel relaxed. I was promised the best night of sleep after, though maybe it's just me, but I didn't feel any different. I can see this being a good form of therapy if you know how to meditate or are super stressed. And as silly as it sounds, I did get bored being in the float tank for an hour!  Once the float was over, the light comes on and music starts to play. I took a shower but was bummed there was no hair dryer. I get that the building needs to stay quiet, but I read that other float studios have lounges with these amenities. I expected something similar since I had somewhere to be after and was a little disappointed.  Overall, I think the business itself was lovely. Friendly employees, float tank, shower, yes. A little more education on how to float and optimize my time probably would have made this a better experience. I don't think float tanks are for me, but I still recommend that you try one if you haven't before.

    Is a swim cap necessary?

    Swim caps can help protect hair from long-exposure to the Epsom Salt in the water. However, they will NOT keep your hair dry. Swim caps can also be a bit counter-productive to relaxing due to being tight around your head. We recommend going… Read more

Those would be my nitpicky complaints and overall, it's very well worth it especially since you can have a second person for only $20 and the time slot isn't shared/community. They also seem to have deals throughout the year, so that makes it even better. Overall, pleased with this place and can definitely see coming back again when I'm in the area!

I don't agree with some of the comments about the location, I found it to be very cozy and relaxing. For a first time experience, and as someone who really struggles with going to unfamiliar places, I found it to be perfect and not overwhelming. When I first arrived, the owner was not in the spa area but some paperwork to fill out was left on the desk. I actually really loved that because it gave me some time to settle into the environment and process everything before having to interact with anyone, which is huge for me. As a person with both Autism and ADHD (and I highly demanding job), I really struggle with overstimulation, nervous system dysregulation, adrenaline fatigue, and periods of severe burnout. My muscles are always very tense, about halfway through my body became very relaxed and I spent about 15 minutes just stretching and felt an incredible relief of tension like I've never experienced. I actually cried at one point because I didn't know it was possible for me to be able to relax like that. The sensory deprivation and having the opportunity to relax my body for the first time in a very long time is exactly what I needed before returning to work at the end of Winter break. Even as a first time float, I had such a great experience and came out feeling much more regulated and calm. I had really been struggling mentally and physically the last couple of months due to work, I feel like this really helped with regulating my nervous system. I'm going to try out the once a week for a month package in hopes that it will help with avoiding that level of burnout!

I was given a brief tour of the lobby area, which had the lounge and an area with beverages to consume as wanted. We went immediately to my room, which was extremely clean. I was given a brief intro on how to use the sensory deprivation room, and the employee also pointed out where everything was written in case I missed something! Everything needed was there. They provide ear plugs, and several towels, and instruct you to wear the ear plugs, take a shower and clean yourself with neutral temperature water, and no hair conditioner. Afterwards, I completely dried my face (to reduce the risk of touching your face once in the tank), and they provided packets of petroleum jelly to place on any cuts so they don't burn with the salt. After prepping, I got in the tank, which was quite spacious. I did initially take in a floatie to serve as a head pillow but ended up taking it off. There are two buttons in the tank that control the light, and music if you choose to connect your phone, which I did not but I think that's a great touch. They also provided a spray bottle of fresh water just in case you accidentally touch your eyes and needed to get salt out, and I was advised to bring in a small towel with me just to keep my face free from salt water. I turned off the lights, and floated for an hour which went by way faster than expected! At the end, music played to signal the end of the session, I turned on the lights, got out, and jumped in the shower. They provide scentless shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, along with an ear wash they highly suggest you use containing vinegar.
