Float Madison, Madison

Some people compare it to floating through deep space or easing into a profound state of meditation, but most everyone can agree on one thing: floatation sessions are downright relaxing. Filled with 1,000 pounds of epsom salt, 10 inches of skin-temperature water, and complete silence, Float Madison's float tanks create a near-zero-gravity experience that allows both the body and the mind to unwind, free of all distractions and stimulation.

The result may include a wide variety of benefits. Some clients integrate the treatments into their routines to manage anxiety and depression. Others think of the tanks as a way to escape the physical discomforts of pregnancy for a while. Read on to learn more about Float Madison's unique floatation experiences:

• Superior Float Pod: This is the standard type of sensory-deprivation tank, providing plenty of room for you to lie comfortably. You can close the rounded lid from above to shut out light and sound or opt to illuminate the chamber with soft glowing lights and music for total relaxation.

• Ocean Float Room: This experience is ideal for first-time floaters and those who experience claustrophobia. With 7 feet of vertical space and a user-controlled star-lit ceiling, it creates an open, relaxing experience.
