sensory deprivation tank

Floatation therapy pod

A sensory deprivation tank is a lightless, soundproofed enclosure filled with saltwater heated to skin temperature, designed to minimize external stimulation.

Users float effortlessly in the dense saline solution, experiencing near-total absence of sight, sound, and tactile sensation.

The tanks are used for relaxation, meditation, and therapeutic purposes: An hour in the sensory deprivation tank left me feeling reset.

Also called a float tank or isolation tank.
