Floatworks: Launch their all new ultimate sensory
relaxation device, the i-sopod

50% larger than other tanks on the market with a clean, modern and appealing design “a float tank for the 21st century!”

“The pace of modern-day life, the credit crunch, and the financial crisis is making many people feel extremely stressed”

London, UK April 2009: The Floatworks is the world’s largest floatation centre and receives something in the region of 1200 customers each month to its nine-tank centre.



Floatation therapy is based on the revolutionary scientific method of Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy also known as R.E.S.T.

The high-tech i-sopod contains 1000 litres of water and 525 kg of Epsom salts, creating a 30cm silky solution so buoyant that everyone floats effortlessly on the surface, no matter what their size or weight.

The water and air are heated to skin temperature, 35.5C, so that once settled in the environment you cannot tell which parts of your body are in contact with the water, and with gravity pushing down and the buoyancy pushing up in an equal force, you find yourself in a simulated zero gravity environment.

As external stimuli is kept to an absolute minimum (you choose whether to go the whole hog and shut the door and turn the interior light off) and gravity has been eliminated, the usually dominant logical side of the brain is left with virtually nothing to do, and slowly synchronises with the creative side. This leaves the client in a meditative state, almost identical to the brief feelings you get just before you slip into deep sleep each night.

Buddhist monks spend years of training and practice trying to reach this Zen-like state…. But all you have to do is turn up, climb in and the i-sopod will induce the same effects, all without any effort on your part at all.

“Floatation; it’s the cheats’ way to deep meditation”
