The salt water concentration in our float tanks is the only place in the world that anyone, no matter the body type, can completely float without moving a muscle. Our water is 3x as dense as the Dead Sea. That amount of Epsom salt (1200lbs) simply wouldn’t fit in a bathtub.

While definitely on the rise, it’s far from new. Floating has been around for over 40 years and has been the focus of a lot of research.

Single and first floats can often be profound. However, there can be a bit of a learning curve requiring a few floats to feel totally comfortable. Floating also has powerful cumulative effects and is becoming recognized as an essential part of an optimal ongoing wellness practice. Floating 1 to 2 times a month is amazing and once a week will supercharge your long term physical, mental, and spiritual health.

Modern life is stressful; traffic, deadlines, constant connection to technology, notifications, inboxes, not enough sleep; replenishing ourselves in body, mind, and soul is an essential part of modern wellness. Floating reduces stress, promotes relaxation, improves sleep, and gives us all a chance to unplug and recharge.

We represent the highest industry standards of service, technology, luxury, and cleanliness. Our studio was created with local resources, makers, and designers; the entire experience was curated with your comfort in mind. The experience is supported by each member of our thoughtful and caring staff who ensure all your needs are met. From the moment you walk in, until the moment you re-enter the outside world – our goal is to help provide you with an excellent experience.

It is. Sensory deprivation and our float tanks are technically isolation tanks. Science is now showing that float tanks are actually a piece of sensory enhancement technology; a place where your entire system can focus on itself to cleanse, process, and reset.

It’s an acronym coined by a scientist that stands for “Reduced Environment Stimulation Therapy.” It simply means float therapy.

Our float tanks are incredibly spacious: 8 feet long and 4 feet wide – plenty of room to stretch out. Once inside without visual parameters, the space becomes open and vast. Also, like a room in your own home, you can leave the door to your float tank open, and you can exit the tank whenever you wish to – you have total control over your comfort.

Yes, you will definitely float! The ability to swim is not necessary as absolutely everyone floats without effort. The saltwater will support a weight of 1000+ pounds.

Many guests love to fall asleep in the relaxing world of a float tank. In fact, 1 hour of rest in the tank is anecdotally reported as the equivalent of 4 hours of deep restful sleep. Also, because of the high salt content, you will float safely whether you’re awake or asleep.

Ideally, don’t shave at least 8 hours before your float. The salty water can be irritating or itchy if you do.

Take the same precautions as if you were going in a swimming pool or hot tub.

We recommend waiting at least one week to let the color fully set. We don’t want the salt affecting the color, or the color bleeding into the water. If the color is not rinsing out when you shower, it’s usually fine to float.

Floating is safe during pregnancy, but we must insist you consult your healthcare provider first. Many Moms are enjoying a break from carrying baby’s extra weight and an hour of deep relaxation. For more information check out this wonderful video about floating and pregnancy.

If they’re new additions, just make sure they’re fully healed. Otherwise, the saltwater will sting.

The salt water can sting wounds, so we provide packets of petroleum jelly in each room to cover any problem areas.

You can leave them in or if you need to remove them for your float.

It’s 95 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the same temperature as the surface of your skin. It’s neither warm nor cold, but rather neutral by design. After a short adjustment time, you can’t tell where the skin stops and water starts – you really feel like you’re floating!

The 1,200 pounds of USP Epsom salt dissolved in just 10 inches of water is what creates the effortless part of floating. No matter your size, when you recline into the warm water, your body will float like a cork.

The high concentration of salt creates a very hostile environment for all sorts of germs and bacteria. But more importantly, the water is run through a filtration and purification process for 15 minutes before and after every guest. Each system utilizes a large pool filter, food-grade (35%) hydrogen peroxide, and a very robust ultra-violet sterilizer.

Our float tanks are 8 feet long and 4 feet wide. They’re spacious and you’re able to stretch out, sit up, and enjoy the feeling of weightlessness.

Once you’ve showered and dressed, we recommend taking a few minutes to enjoy some fresh water and allow the experience to soak in. Just take a little time for yourself before returning to the outside world.

The music will gently fade back in to let you know it’s time to exit.

No, the high salt concentration prevents this from happening. It leaves your skin quite soft and smooth.

We suggest giving yourself the hour but if you’d like to get out; each tank has a free-swinging door you can open at any time. In other words, you are able to leave the tank whenever you’d like.

Before you float, you take a quick shower to remove body oils and products. After, you shower to remove the salty residue from your skin and hair.

Yes. Each float room contains a changing area, shower, and float tank. The room is your own private oasis while you’re here.

Avoid both for at least several hours prior to your float.

When it comes to eating, we suggest a light meal 90 minutes prior so you’re neither full nor hungry. As for liquid, hydrate normally in such a way that you won’t need a restroom break mid-float.

Your time in the float cabin will be reduced as we still need to end your float at your appointed time to ready the room for the next guest.

We offer easy freeway access, easy access to downtown Pittsburgh and surrounding areas, along with abundant, well-lit street parking right in front of our studio on the quieter end of Murray Avenue.

If it's your first time at Levity, our attendants will walk you through the process and answer any questions you need. Most guests also like to visit the restroom before heading into the tank.

We require 24-hour advance notice.

Yes. You’re welcome to share your floats with friends, family, and loved ones.

Yes. We kindly ask that you consider everyone at the studio as some guests may just be finishing their session of an hour of silence. If you would like to share with others by engaging in conversation, please do so mindfully. Also, please refrain from cell phone use as much as possible.

Though our tanks are very spacious, they’re only meant for a single person to fully stretch out and enjoy the experience.
