I suffer from axial spondyloarthritis and have a lot of discomfort from this. I wanted to try the mobiliser but the only other option was to try it for free in store and I didn’t really like the idea of people looking at me.. so booked the floatation with mobilisation. The mobiliser was amazing! I wish I lived closer as I would use it religiously. It got my back into so many positions and really helped the pain. I googled it a lot and couldn’t really find much information about it, but really was worth a go! Then I had the floatation; again - didn’t really know what to expect. The guy was friendly. You’re given ear plugs but I would recommend they give you 2 packs as literally 2 minutes after putting my head in the water, my right one fell out! I really enjoyed the floating, it was extremely relaxing and I loved just being in the dark, floating, with literally no distractions at all. I felt really weightless afterwards and would highly reccomend. Only a couple things I picked up on would be that on the website it says towels provided, but then when I read the email (after parking up, just to confirm the time) it said you needed to pay £3 to rent a towel. No issues with the price but I’d have just brought my own. There was no towel or mat on the floor after showering, so the floor got really slippery when getting out and then my socks got wet - a floor towel would be great! Shampoo and conditioner and body wash are supplied and these smell amazing - however the shower caddy was really rusty which I thought was just slacking a bit; and the mirror was really rusty too and had handprints on it. The ‘pod’ is emptied after each use so only use that water but I am a little concerned that it’s not properly cleaned between use as there were a few hairs in the water which definitely weren’t mine (but could have been the guys who got the room ready?! ) otherwise fab experience and would highly recommend

Upon arrival the reception was empty but a young lady soon appeared. They were preparing the rooms for the next set of customers, which she explained. She asked me to fill in a form and asked for a few minutes whilst she finished what she was doing. Me and the others waiting were then informed in good detail, the specifics of our float session, this included information about the float pod, room, shower and anything extra. As I suffer with neck tension due to bad posture for many years I found the neck float very useful and didn’t have to pay to use it. I felt very informed and catered to throughout. The session in itself was amazing. It’s a lovely feeling being free from all sensory distractions. As a practising meditator I found it really enhanced my capability. I meditated throughout and felt extremely relaxed after. Upon leaving the same lady double checked I had enjoyed myself and was satisfied. Overall the whole experience was really great! I had my session as a voucher for my birthday but I would definitely invest in regular float sessions going forward. The staff were lovely. The room was clean/tidy and the float in itself was blissful. (I used the orbit)

This was my first float experience and it definitely won't be my last. The Bristol Float centre and their colleague Spin was an absolute delight. Really high quality relaxation area as well as three different floatation tanks to choose from. I used the Orbit and the experience was like nothing I've ever experienced before. As a newbie during the first 5 minutes I had to reassure myself I wasn't going to fall anywhere - it honestly felt like I was floating in the sky - but during the overall experience and afterwards I was the most relaxed I have ever been. During the float I felt equally connected and detached from my body, all stress and tension disappeared. I can't wait to return!

Great gift from my wife. The mobilisation bed was a nice start that was relaxing enough even before the main event. I went into the Open Pod, a kind of sci-fi egg with optional orange lighting. Very snug and relaxing way to spend an hour, floating in the dark. Great introduction to the facilities from the friendly staff. Will definitely return!

I have floated on and off for years so after moving house last week, it was my go to recovery therapy to get over all the aches and pains of lugging heavy boxes all week! My float didn't disappoint, I literally came out feeling new and whole again. Thanks Bristol Float once again, I'll be back :)

First time floater My friend arranged as a birthday treat. The experience was very relaxing. 30 mins in it felt like you were being supported by the water which was an odd but good experience. There is a nice chill out room for after your float with speciality teas which was a nice touch. The lady working there was very welcoming/informative.

Amazing experience!!! Can’t wait to go again. Very unique and so good for your body and mind. Recommend also doing the immobiliser for added posture improvement. I felt like I was floating in space 👽

Absolute bliss. Total chill. If you're in need of relaxing, unwinding, chilling out, this is the place for you. The Manager, Spin is lovely. She will make you feel welcome, relaxed and at ease. She will talk through how the sessions work so you don't have to do anything but relax. I will be back.

It was my first time floating. I had a very warm and friendly welcome from Spin upon arrival, they were helpful and informative before I had my float and I felt comfortable and safe and ready to enjoy my session. The float was incredible, so relaxing and just a wonderful experience! They provide everything you need which is a bonus, lovely facilities! I left feeling light and rejuvenated. I’d recommend everyone to give it a try!!

The definition of a plankton is any living thing that does not swim on its own, but instead relies on the natural current of the sea to get around. In other words, they just float. The Bristol Float Centre (or plankton simulator, if you will) is a transcendental experience that will leave you thoroughly relaxed. Personally, I experienced weightlessness, visual effects brought about by my own brain/eyes, and the loud underwater amplification of my rumbly tummy (not a bad thing at all, actually quite funny)! I have so far tried the cabin and the open pod, both very good! If it is your first time I would recommend the cabin just because it is slightly bigger and just a bit of a nicer setting. Happy floating!
