Floating together in a double float room offers a very different experience to floating alone. Designed to allow two people to share the same float environment, a double float room creates a spacious, calming setting where comfort, reassurance, and connection can all play a role.
In this article, we explore what a double float room is, how it works, and the situations where floating together can be especially beneficial. If you’re looking at double float rooms from a business or installation perspective, you can also explore our double float room page for layouts and specifications.
In 2013, we developed our double float room design. Today, double float rooms are in use across Germany, the UK, Australia, and the USA, with many centres offering them as part of their floatation therapy experience.
There are many advantages to a KING SIZE, or double Ocean Float Room, both in terms of the floating experience and how it can be used within a centre.
- The potential to generate up to 60 or 70% more revenue than a single room
- Long-term savings in rent, with only a slightly larger site room required compared to two separate rooms
- Our double float room consumes around 65% of the electricity compared to two standard float rooms
- A reluctant customer may be more willing to try floating for the first time if they can share the experience. Having a partner or trusted person nearby can help them relax and adjust to the environment
- Pregnant women can float alongside their partner, sharing the experience and feeling the baby’s movement together, while also having reassurance and support if needed
- Elderly clients who may feel uncertain can benefit from floating with a care provider, helping them feel more comfortable and at ease
- Parent and child float sessions can be a gentle and encouraging introduction to floating for younger users
- Teenagers experiencing stress or anxiety may find reassurance floating alongside a parent
- Couples floating together often describe a strong sense of connection and shared relaxation
- Double rooms are ideal for larger individuals, athletes, and those who prefer more space
- Those with autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, Asperger’s syndrome, and other conditions may feel more comfortable knowing a trusted person is nearby
- People with injuries or reduced mobility can more easily experience floating with the assistance of a partner or carer
