flotation tank
Saltwater isolation chamber
A flotation tank is a lightless, soundproof enclosure filled with body-temperature saltwater dense enough to let a person float effortlessly.
Used for relaxation, meditation, and sensory deprivation therapy: An hour in the flotation tank left me feeling deeply rested.
Also called an isolation tank or sensory deprivation tank.
