I received a session at True REST as a Christmas present and had my session in mid-January. Overall, I had an excellent experience.
After checking in on my arrival, I watched a short training video and was given a quick tour of the facility. There was only one person working and I thought she did an excellent job taking care of several of us there for our float sessions. In particular, I thought she did an especially good job helping Customers have a positive experience by tailoring the use of music and light within the pod during their session.
Each room contains a shower with everything you might need, except a comb or brush, and the pod itself. There's also an intercom on the wall and within the pod if you need assistance. The room, and for that matter the entire facility, was extremely clean and well cared for.
The float session was excellent. It was very, very relaxing. The tutorial video gives you some idea of what sensory deprivation is like, but it's different when you actually do it. Use the music, lights, and ability to keep the pod door slightly open to make the experience enjoyable for you. After the float session, I tried the no-cost oxygen bar for a few minutes, but it didn't do anything for me.
As others have noted in their reviews, the facility does solicit tips for the employees. However, the only solicitation I saw was on the back of the door of the float room. In addition, you will also receive a bit of a sales pitch to buy a membership that day. As soon as I said that I wasn't interested, they stopped the pitch. read more
