The float environment and method
A couples float places two people side-by-side in a large, salt-saturated tank where water is heated to approximately 93.5°F (34.5°C). The high Epsom salt concentration creates effortless buoyancy so you rest on the surface without effort. With light and sound reduced, sensory input drops and many people enter a deep relaxed theta-like state during the hour-long session.
Before entering you shower; we provide towels, earplugs, and shower amenities so you need only bring yourself. You may float in a swimsuit or nude—both are options—and you can exit anytime because lids remain unlocked. Many first-time couples appreciate the orientation and the unhurried pre- and post-session time our host spends explaining the process.
Floating together: dynamics and etiquette
Floating side-by-side changes how couples interact: silence, shared breathing, and individual boundaries matter. Partners typically decide beforehand whether to keep the lid open, use low light, or remain quiet. Respecting personal space while sharing the environment allows inward focus that often supports reconnection; several clients report leaving more rested and emotionally closer after a shared session.
Some guests have enjoyed extra spa touches mentioned in reviews—such as a light eucalyptus aroma or a short bio‑frequency session after floating. These are occasional additions rather than guaranteed inclusions; ask about aromatics or post-float options when you book. The central element remains the float: extended sensory reduction while you rest together for 60 MINUTES.
Practical considerations and local access
Relax and Restore Float Spa sits in Hermitage with quick access from Lebanon Pike and I-40, convenient for commuters and for people coming from Percy Priest Lake or Long Hunter State Park. The spa operates from a home location; some guests recommend calling on arrival so staff can let you in through the gate. Couples Float price is $85.
Demand rises around Valentine’s Day and again in November and December for date nights and holiday experiences, so book early for those months. For ongoing stress relief or better sleep, many couples find one to two shared floats per month provides consistent benefits. If you plan regular visits, ask about multi-session options during booking.
