I have been driving by the True Rest float spa on Pecan forever and have been meaning to check it out--after a recent car accident that left me with neck and back pain, I knew it was the perfect time to give it a try. I called on Thursday and was able to get an appointment the next morning! When I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly attendant who brought me a delicious hot tea and had me sign a few forms / watch a short video about the experience of using the float pods, which was super informative. After the video, she brought me into my own private room, which had a shower (you're required to use it before and after your float--shampoo, conditioner and body wash are all included), a bench with towels/ear plugs and the impressive float pod. She walked me through how to get in and out of it, mentioned that it's best to use the float pods without any clothing (she said wearing a bathing suit actually makes you cold) and showed me the buttons on the inside to control the lights, then she left me to do my thing! Floating was one of the most unique experiences I've had in a long time. It's only 10 inches of water, but with 1,000 pounds of epsom salt per pod, it's very different than getting in a bathtub. I opted to turn off the lights and was instantly mesmerized by the anti-gravity sensation of floating. I did bump into the walls quite a few times, but it was very gentle and not uncomfortable at all. 60 minutes seems like it's going to last forever, but it was honestly the perfect amount of time--I eased into a relaxed state after about 20 minutes, but by the 50-55 minute mark I had started to get a little restless again. I changed positions with my arms a few times which was helpful, and I didn't ever get the salt in my eyes like some other reviewers mentioned. I do wish I could have had the option of leaving the music on for the whole 60 minutes, because I knew I wasn't going to be able to fall asleep, and the music helped center me. Still, I remember being filled with positive and deep thoughts and was amazed by how peaceful I felt in there. Once my float time was finished, I showered off all the salt (you can literally feel it on your chest/belly), used some of the complimentary items in the "prep room" (q-tips, lotion, etc.) and headed back to the Oasis Room, where they offered free use of the Oxygen Bar for first time floaters. I didn't really feel anything when using the flavored oxygen, but it could be because I was already so relaxed and moved by the floating experience! All in all, great experience. I wish it wasn't so expensive, and I can see how it would be intriguing to get a monthly membership. May consider that one day!

Prep before the float

Staff is professional, courteous, and the place is immaculate. We tried this as a date adventure, and it was very nice. We were able to relax hydrated full of vitamins to kick off our weekend full of energy. The staff was courteous, and the quality of care was very delicate as my wife is afraid of needles.

What a way to end the 2024 year. I wanted to do this for a while now and honestly as life would have it, I stumbled upon their website and immediately booked 2 sessions. When you walk in, you are greeted peacefully with soft nudges of how the experience is going to go. They provide you with a warm welcome video providing you all the benefits of the floating salt pod. They provide you private spaces with showers, the pod and even are able to personalize your music. The staff is so helpful and always on standby to assist. This was an amazing experience and I can't wait for my second session.

I've been thinking about trying this for a while now. It's super peaceful, clean and well maintained. I was immediately taken care of soon as I walked in. Everything is explained in detail what to do. Each room is cleaned and sanitized after each session. Very nice staff. The pod is big for the average height person, I'm not sure if the have a bigger one. I am guessing if you are over like... 6'5 you can't get in it with space. They also offer an oxygen bar. I tried the lavender scented. Very cool. Only thing to know you need to take what you are told about getting the water on your face VERY seriously. Its way worse than ocean water getting in your eye

Have you tried float therapy before? I have been wanting to try this for some time now and glad I finally did ! When you arrive the staff ask if you would like tea or water & they Sit you down in separate room and have you watch a short video for close to 10 minutes! Once it's over you're escorted to a room with a float pod inside you will find an open shower and it's advised for you to shower before getting in and after the pod ! This was beyond relaxing I caught myself dozing off to sleep but my mind body n soul wouldn't let me go that deep into la la land lol ! I don't know if it's a mind thing or what but once I left the pain I was having in my white shoulder was non existent ! It's been proven to help alleviate muscle pain joints etc as one of the benefits !l One other thing I must mention is I deadly fell asleep this day too I woke up with all the lights on and don't even remember ever preparing for bed or anything so I'm convinced it helps with sleep ! Do your self a favor and go and get your float therapy on at-least one time , well worth it !

Refresh room stocked with amenities

My husband decided to give me some Mommy time and sent me to True Rest. The staff was welcoming and friendly (even when I got lost on the way! ) The facility is clean and inviting. After I checked in, I was directed to a room where I watched a welcome video. Pay attention! Emily, my consultant offered me water or hot tea. After the video, relaxing music plays, giving you an opportunity to get into the mood. Emily returned and took me to my room. The pod was bright and clean with a personal tray of your towel, washcloth, etc. She goes over the instructions again and then leaves you to it. The overhead shower was so warm and relaxing. Once you are ready to enter the pod...wait for the filter/jets to go OFF. I heard her say this and didn't listen. I looked like I was in a washing machine! and now my ears are hollow. Also, shower caps are pointless. Be mindful of your hairstyle because your hair WILL get wet. Once the jets stopped, it was a very relaxing experience. I slept most of the time. Once it's time to exit, you shower again and can use the refresh room for lotion etc. Pro tip: If you're anything like me, keep the Vaseline from the pod and use that instead of the lotion. The combs are Lifetouch picture day approved so consider bringing what you need. After you're dressed, you head back to the relaxation area where you can color, hydrate and use the oxygen bar. Emily then came back and talked with me about booking my next appointment and the packages that were available. My only complaint would be that I was using a giftcard and included that in my booking notes but it was overlooked at checkout. I was supposed to hear from the manager yesterday but haven't yet. I am planning to incorporate this into my monthly self care routine and look forward to my next visit.

I am all for relaxation and True Rest is the place for that. As far as fixing what ails me, I don't know but I do know that I was totally relaxed at the end of my session. The hot shower after the float was great. I was ready to lay down when I was done. Individuals are placed in a private float room with a shower. After bathing and dressing, you can meet your party in the communal area. I strongly recommend using the restroom before floating because you don't want your mind to concentrate on that while floating. I visited mid-afternoon so I was not sleepy. One thing I will do on my next visit is to request music throughout my float. It will keep my thoughts at bay and help me relax. An evening float may be even better as I can go straight home and go to bed. Yes, I will have to give that a try. I used a Groupon for my first visit and was not disappointed. I already have an appointment for my next float!

I purchased True Rest's bogo offer and enjoyed my visit with my partner. We each had our own private rooms after being greeted and watching a video about how it works. They mentioned my gift cards were already linked to my account so it was a quick and easy process. Time is strange in the pod. The 1 hour session feels like a long time but I was surprised. My partner was worried a hour would be too long but even they agreed the meditation time in the float is perfect. It's long enough you don't worry about time and short enough you know it will come to an end sometime soon. I can see there are some benefits to this, it's a very cool experience. However it's a similar to breathwork and other types of meditation. It really all comes down to you and your mindset in noting your thoughts so you can get what you want out of the experience. I feel like I wasted time thinking about the float set up and not bumping into the sides. You feel like you're moving but you're not. Then worrying about the jets behind my head turning on while my long hair floated into them, they never mentioned if it can suck up my hair or what do addressing it could ease thoughts for people with long hair. The audio didn't work in either room. The instructional video was muted so I had to tell the staff and then the music in my pod never indicated time was starting or ending as I was told it would. My partner enjoyed their experience and I would suggest doing it at least once! I prefer breathwork over this style of meditation.

If you are looking for a day to relax in your own space, get into a pod at Tru Float Spa. We did arrive 30 minutes prior to our scheduled time, and they were eager to assist regardless of the time. The business was very clean and had a relaxed feeling to get. Even though I found myself scared since it was my first time. I was easily able to drift to sleep quickly during my experience. They did provide all the amenities you could need before and after from hairdryer to lotions. The staff was very friendly and offered a variety of membership to make your experience good. I also enjoyed the oxygen bar, which was complimentary for our first time.

This was my first time going to a float spa and it was nice. My friend and I took another friend there for her bday so we all can experience it together. We watched a video, got a tour and had our own individual rooms. The staff were great. There was music, your own shower and stuff. I don't know how to float but the amount salt in the water just make you float. It was so relaxing I fell asleep. The jets woke me up letting me know my time is close to being done. At the end we enjoyed the oxygen bar with different scene, like rosemary mint, lavender, Citrus. Many options to pick from. They also give ginger tea and water as well. I would recommend to family and friends. I went there to relieve stress and soreness in my muscles from working out. I bought a Groupon deal which saves you $25-30.

Follow these steps for a Perfect Float

Saturday before Mother's Day I want to say this was my first time and experience in a float spa!! This was a new and indifferent experience! First, the ambiance was extremely calm and quiet. Which calmed any anxiety I may have had, also the warmed green tea was refreshing prior to my float. Before and after the float you will shower in the room with your pod and follow certain steps. Ear plugs are given. Pod: Body temperature water with a lights, music and an intercom on the inside. Loaded with epson salt it was a great way for my body to relax after working out!! THE PEACE AND QUIET is Amazing!!! Mother's: YOU deserve this!!! I highly recommend this experience to all. I would like to try the 3 float spa session to see if I feel the full effects and try the oxygen bar as well, this is something I would be interested in the future.

Throughly enjoyed my experience here and I am actually considering a monthly subscription. Initially I was very apprehensive about this experience being that I'm claustrophobic & have always had a fear of getting stuck in an elevator I was not excited about it. After walking through and getting a tour of everything I realized my fears were futile because there is an interfón in the pod. Each room has a shower to use prior to getting into the pod. The experience was more than relaxing, I felt at ease during and after. I will definitely be coming back. After exiting the pod and cleaning up I used the oxygen bar prior to leaving, such a nice touch.

Desiree P.

I had a great first time experience! The whole process was explained ahead of a brief tour of the facility. The time in the pod was so relaxing and refreshing. Capping it all off with the oxygen bar was a nice treat. I look forward to going back soon.

I was concerned about being claustrophobic but the pod was large enough that I didn't feel constrained to move.

We started off with a video about "floating" followed by a tour of the facility…read more Each person has their own room with a rainshower and a pod filled with 10 inches of warm water and 1000lbs of Epsom salt. The pod also has a multicolored LED liighting option and a custom misic option. The Epsom salt provides buoyancy for you during your float which gives you a weightless feeling. It was a bit awkward at first because I had never done this before. Once I relaxed and just floated, I felt like I was floating around in space and then had the most amazing nap. After the float, I took a shower in the room under the most amazing rain shower. They provided body wash, shampoo, conditioner, wash cloth, and towel. After getting dressed, they had a communal space with q-tips, face cleaning pads and cotton balls, deodorant, and lotion. There was a hairdryer available as well. Following getting myself together, I went to the main room where they have water, tea, and an oxygen bar with lavender, camomile, or eucalyptus for as long as I wanted. It was dark and relaxing and kept the vibe. If you have body aches and pain or have a lot of stress, this is definitely the experience for you. If you have mental health struggles this is definitely a must do for you. Having said that, this is not meant to be a substitute but an added bonus to current treatments. They have various packages and memberships available. Also veterans can float free twice a year on the 11th of their selected months. We will definitely be back!!

The employee at the desk was friendly. This was about the only positive thing. Upon entering my…read moreroom I was told that one of the pod handles was broken off (and had been for quite a while). It was hard to maneuver closing the one side of the pod manually. The water was cold. Not enjoyable at all. I didn't float the entire time because I had to get out and take a shower to get warm. The intercom system wasn't working. I was told if I needed anything during the float to get out and call the front desk on my cell phone. Last, I requested "rain" music and got nothing. A huge disappointment! I received this as a Christmas gift and I believe the amount should be refunded. Very unprofessional with all these issues going unfixed.
