The Surprising Benefits of a 90-Minute Float: Why More Time Equals More Relaxation
Have you ever wondered why some people rave about their floating experiences? It’s not just about lying in a tank of warm, buoyant water; it’s about the time you spend there. At Float Rubicon in Kirkland, near Seattle, we offer 90-minute float sessions for a reason. Here’s why you should choose a longer float time and how it can transform your relaxation experience.
What is Floating and Why Does Time Matter?
Floating, or sensory deprivation therapy, involves lying in a tank filled with warm water saturated with Epsom salts, creating a buoyant environment that supports your body. The tanks are soundproof and dark, eliminating external stimuli and allowing you to experience complete relaxation. But why does the duration of your float session matter?
Deeper Relaxation: While a 60-minute session can be beneficial, a 90-minute float allows your body more time to fully relax and your mind to reach a deeper state of calm. The first 30 minutes are often spent adjusting to the environment, but the additional time helps you achieve a profound sense of relaxation.
Enhanced Mental Clarity: Extended float sessions give your brain more time to unwind and disconnect from the constant barrage of information. Many floaters report increased mental clarity and creativity after longer sessions.
Improved Physical Recovery: The buoyant environment reduces pressure on your joints and muscles, promoting physical recovery. Athletes and those with chronic pain often find that a longer float session helps reduce muscle soreness and inflammation more effectively.
Stress Relief: The extended time in a float tank helps lower cortisol levels, the stress hormone, more significantly than shorter sessions. This makes a 90-minute float a powerful tool for stress management.

Drew Tacher: “This place is awesome. Amazing tanks, the rooms are so well lit and make you feel relaxed and ready to get into the tank. Owners are some of the kindest people you'll meet all day.”
Raymond Fang: “My first float experience was wicked fun! Not to mention the relief for my back pain; floating decompresses my spine with noticeable effects. I could not bend to my left without pain but after some time floating I was able to. Given there are only 3 places for floating in Seattle area, this family-owned business is providing a much-needed service to patients with spinal trauma for pain relief.”
Chris Bonnington: “This is a great, safe, clean and friendly float experience. The float tank is nice and big so you don't end up touching the sides all the time. The water and air temperature is perfect. They are easy to schedule an appointment online and even text a reminder. I have had a membership for a year and really enjoyed it. It helps my mind clear out a lot of clutter so I am more productive and less stressed.”
Amanda Nickell: “My partner and I had the pleasure of floating at Rubicon for Memorial Day. It wasn't my first time floating, but it was his. We went for relaxation and mediation purposes and we were both blown away. The experience was far more than exceptional. Rubicon is THE place to float. It is extremely clean (sterile, if you will) the staff was friendly, knowledgeable, patient and made the experience comfortable. Both of us got everything we were hoping for and left feeling rejuvenated and mentally and physically relaxed. We both enjoyed it so much we decided to join a membership to experience this at least twice a month. We both HIGHLY recommend this place. You will not be disappointed.”
