Dry Float Therapy in Aberdeen: Float Without Getting Wet

Guest lying back, fully clothed, on the Zerobody dry float bed in a warm, softly lit room

Imagine sinking into warm water and feeling every ounce of weight leave your body. Your shoulders drop. Your back lets go. Your mind finally goes quiet. Now imagine doing it fully clothed, without a drop of water touching you.

That is a dry float. Our Zerobody dry float bed, made by Italian wellness brand Starpool and used by pro sports teams, is at PURE Union Square in Aberdeen. Thirty minutes from £45.

Float without getting wet

The Zerobody holds around 400 litres of warm water beneath a soft, flexible surface. You lie on top. The water moulds to your shape and takes your weight, and within moments you feel as if you are floating.

Everything people love about floating, with none of the hassle:

  • Stay dressed and dry. No swimwear, no shower, no wet hair, no salt on your skin.
  • No pod. You lie on an open bed in your own private room, so you feel cocooned, never shut in.
  • Your light, your sound. Choose soft coloured lighting, warm the water to suit you and pick the soundtrack.
  • In and out in your lunch break. With nothing to dry off or pack, a float fits anywhere in your day.

The float the pros use

Starpool lists NFL, MLB, NBA and US Soccer teams among the clubs using Zerobody. If it is good enough for pro locker rooms, it is good enough for your Tuesday evening. The same bed is used in care homes in Italy and France, because it is so easy to get on and off and so gentle on the body.

Pro sport and gentle care, one bed. That is how good it feels.

What it feels like

The first thing you notice is the warmth rising gently through the surface. Then the bed seems to give way beneath you, and the water quietly takes over. Your hips sink, your shoulders spread and your back flattens out. There is nothing to hold, nothing to brace against and nothing to do. It may well be the stillest you have felt in months.

Fifteen guided ways to switch off

The Zerobody comes with its own Brain Training audio library: five guided mindfulness sessions, five breathing programmes and five music journeys. If you have ever tried to meditate and found your mind wandering off to your to-do list, this changes everything. You lie back, the warm water holds you and a calm voice guides you down. It is the easiest meditation you will ever do.

How a session works

  1. Arrive in comfy clothes. Whatever you have on is perfect. No changing, no towel.
  2. Lie back on the bed. Settle into your private room and feel the warm water take your weight.
  3. Choose your programme. Mindfulness, breathing or music, plus the lighting you love.
  4. Float. Follow the guided audio or simply lie still and let your thoughts drift.
  5. Come back slowly. Take a moment, sit up and enjoy that light, unhurried feeling as you head back into your day.

Sessions of 60 minutes or longer include 60 minutes of spa and wellness facilities. Facilities vary by spa, so visit our spa page for details.

Who books a dry float

  • Minds that will not switch off. Racing thoughts at bedtime? Give your brain an hour of warm, weightless calm and something gentle to follow.
  • Meditation beginners. Lying down on a warm water bed with a guide in your ear is the easiest way in.
  • Athletes and gym-goers. Do what the pros do and make a float the calm finish to a hard training week.
  • Float-tank fans who hate the faff. All the weightless feeling, none of the salt water, wet hair or enclosed pod.
  • People who prefer not to be touched or undress. No therapist, no robe, no small talk. Just you and the water.
  • Anyone who finds busy spas too much. You choose the light and sound, and the room is all yours.
  • Gift buyers. Floating without getting wet is the conversation-starter present of the year.

Thirty minutes or the full hour?

30 minutes, £45. The perfect first float. Long enough to feel the weightlessness kick in and finish a guided programme.

60 minutes, £55. For only £10 more you get twice the float, time to sink deeper into a full programme, and 60 minutes of spa and wellness facilities on top. Try 30 once and you will want 60.

Frequently asked questions

What is dry floatation therapy?

Dry floatation lets you feel weightless without getting wet. You lie fully clothed on a soft surface over around 400 litres of warm water, which moulds to your body and takes your weight. Our Zerobody by Starpool adds guided mindfulness, breathing and music programmes, so switching off is effortless. Book your dry float at PURE Union Square and feel the weightlessness for yourself.

How is a dry float different from a float tank?

A float tank means salt water, a shower before and after, wet hair and usually a dark, enclosed pod. A dry float gives you that weightless feeling on an open bed in a private room, fully clothed and completely dry. You choose the lighting and soundtrack, and you walk straight back into your day. Buy your Zerobody session online and try it.

Is dry floating used by athletes?

Yes. Starpool lists NFL, MLB, NBA and US Soccer teams among the clubs using the Zerobody, the same bed we have at PURE Union Square. Athletes use it as a calm, weightless reset after hard training. Pair yours with compression boots or hyperbaric oxygen for a full recovery visit. Book your dry float online and recover like the pros.

What do I wear for a dry float?

Whatever you have on. You stay fully clothed and completely dry, so there is no swimwear, no changing and no shower afterwards. That makes a float easy to fit into a lunch break, the journey home or a gap between the school run and the shops. Buy your session online, then just turn up and lie back.

How long should I float for?

Thirty minutes for £45 is the perfect first float and long enough to complete a guided programme. Sixty minutes for £55 gives you twice the time to sink deeper and includes 60 minutes of spa and wellness facilities. Once you have floated, you will want the full hour. Choose your session and book it online today.

Our Zerobody dry float is at PURE Union Square in Aberdeen. The spa is open 7 days a week and late, and it is also home to hyperbaric oxygen, compression boots and our red light-infused infrared sauna, so you can build a full wellness day.
