Services
When you walk through our front door, upon arrival, you are welcomed into the living room. This is where you will embark on your journey through our space of healing and self care. Once your float oasis is ready, we will take you back into our water way. As you enter our water way, you will begin your float experience as we introduce you to "The River", "The Bay", and "The Ocean", our three spacious float rooms.
Throughout time people have sought the relief provided by mineral rich hot springs by traveling the Earth to float in places like the Dead Sea. Now you don't have to travel to a far-off place. First State Floats offers you a passport to what has been described as "the most relaxing experience on earth."
Float Therapy or Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy (R.E.S.T), is widely known as Floatation, Floating, and is even called Sensory Deprivation. We consider the experience of floating to be sensory elevation! In 1954 neuropsychologist Dr. John C. Lilly at the National Institute of Mental Health invented the isolation tank as a research instrument.
We created the studio space to help compliment floating, by offering a space to refresh before reemerging into the world after your float. The studio provides a safe space for any individual to come learn and grow. We believe that there are many tools to carry with us throughout life and are grateful to share them with you.
The studio is open and we are now accepting reservation for our complimentary healing practices! Are you looking to find complementary ways to relax both mental and physiologically without having to jump into a float tank? Give us a call so we can discuss what you are looking for and together we will decide how much time we may need for your session!

Purchased a membership so that I could share a float with my wife on our anniversary. Stopped in a few days before my anniversary to confirm details. Was told that they require partner to float 2 -3 times alone at their business and that someonewould reach out to me if an exception could be made that evening. Krista contacted me 2 days later on the day of my Anniversary informed me that no exceptionwould be made and offered no apology for the previously undisclosed requirement. So now I have to scramble to find something else to do on the day of my anniversary. Krista was sure to note that she

I walked into the space with a lot of anxiety because it was new to me and I have anxiety issues. As soon as I sat down another gentleman was waiting started to chat. He gave me some pointers and told me his experience. During the tour the gentleman had sensed my anxiety. But as soon as I hit that water, turned the light off and let my mind ease it was fantastic. When my time was up I wanted to cry. It was absolutely the best feeling in the world to let go and unwind. I can not wait to go back.

My sister treated me for my birthday and got both of us float sessions to celebrate. It was her first time floating and my second. I am very claustrophobic and was worried about feeling boxed in. The Ocean Room was spacious and made me feel totally at ease- I wasn't scared at all! The staff were so kind and genuinely excited for us to experience their business. I hope we can return some day! I walked out feeling like a million bucks.

This was my first float experience and I have to say it was extremely relaxing. The vibe of the entire place is mellow and chill. The people who work there are very inviting and sweet! Everything was so clean and well laid out. I took a star away because the water temperature in my shower was luke warm making the experience... cold. I was also disappointed that there was a mediation area that couldn't be used during Covid. I understand of course but think there should have been a slight discount because all services weren't available.

I booked this float not knowing much about it. All I can say is wow. David and the team from first state floats really helped me out with some booking confusion. The experience was amazing. From walking in to getting oriented on how to do the float, they really helped every step of the way. Staff there is super friendly. I would totally recommend this as a gift to your significant other, like I did, or as a treat for yourself in these trying times. We plan on coming back soon!!

I went in today for my first ever float and was extremely thrilled with my experience. I didn't know what to expect as I had never tried anything like this. I was greeted as soon as I walked in a was shown around. The facilities seem very clean and looked like a spa. Before you float, they ask that you shower beforehand (the room you're in has one with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and towels). They give you a pair of earplugs and some Vaseline to cover any nicks or cuts (trust me, use it) and you walk into the tank to float in water that is about a foot/foot and a half high. You sit

I have wanted to try a floating session but never realized that this place was open right here in Delaware. I received a gift card for Christmas and recently went for my session.
The studio is a shoe free zone so they ask you to remove your shoes upon arrival. When it's time for session you are taken back and everything is explained to you in detail. There are three float rooms. I booked the "ocean" room which is the largest and also has twinkle lights in the ceiling. There is a shower in each room for before and after your float.
The facility is very clean and and the staff

You get that good vibe as soon as the door opens. The staff were like hanging out with old friends again, they were one of a kind. They explained everything from the time you shake hands to the operation of the room you chose. I hate comparing things to the west coast, but I felt like I was living there again. You can take that however you want to. But it's a huge compliment.
The pods were spotless, everything was in tip top shape. The studio area had a calming feeling, I could sit there for hours.
I will always take the ocean room, they have stars that twinkle above you, and the pod is

I really can’t say enough good things about this experience. If you are hesitant, just give it a try! Live a little! You deserve some peace!
This went about and beyond my expectations. The people who own this place are so kind, informative, and gentle. Such a great experience overall. Will be back very soon 🙂

I typically have difficulty disconnecting and closing off my mind to outside distractions. I was hoping this would allow me to just be still for a while. The environment was very inviting and peaceful. I felt completely relaxed and I was able to disconnect and quiet my mind for a short while. The pod was warm and spacious. The music was very calming and mesmerizing. It was very comforting just floating and feeling weightless. I tried for 60 minutes the first time, will probably go longer next time. Fantastic experience and very fair prices.

I went for my first float on June 22 & it was amazing!!!! I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did, but it was surprisingly relaxing. I'm semi claustrophobic and was a bit concerned that I wouldn't be able to get the full experience; however within a few minutes, I was relaxed and even turned off the lights! The River and Bay rooms are nice, but the Ocean room is where it's at!! The Ocean room has lights on the top of the ceiling (which I tried to get a picture of but it didn't do it justice!). It's also big enough for couples to float together! I&apos
