About Lift / Next Level Floats

Lift / Next Level Floats is a dedicated floatation therapy center in the Carroll Gardens area of Brooklyn, located on the second floor at 320 Court Street. Billing itself as Brooklyn's preferred flotation center, the studio focuses squarely on sensory deprivation float therapy, offering one-hour sessions in both enclosed float pods and open float rooms so guests can choose the experience that suits them.

The concept is simple: floating in warm, magnesium-rich saltwater removes external stimuli, which reviewers describe as producing deep relaxation, weightlessness, and a meditative, mind-clearing calm. Guests report relief from stress, physical aches, and even fibromyalgia symptoms, along with an easing of anxiety. The facility emphasizes the mental wellness side of floating, promoting mindfulness and the body's natural endorphin response.

A first visit typically begins with a warm, informative welcome from staff members who reviewers repeatedly name by first name—David, Christine, Christian, and Michael among them. Staff walk newcomers through the process, including protecting eyes and cuts from the saltwater and timing your session so you shower and enter promptly. After floating, guests unwind in a comfortable lounge stocked with tea, books, journals, and a get-ready area complete with a hair dryer and other essentials.

The strongest trust signal is the facility's reputation: it holds a 4.9 rating across roughly 591 reviews, with visitors consistently praising the spotless, thoughtfully designed space and the attentive, passionate team. Multiple guests mention returning monthly or planning to make floating a regular part of their wellness routine.

Single float sessions are priced from around $79 to $99, with multiple package options and VIP membership packages available for regulars. The center is open seven days a week from 9:30 am to 10 pm, making it convenient for both weekday and weekend visits. Whether you are a nervous first-timer or an experienced floater, Lift / Next Level Floats offers a calm, intimate environment designed for total relaxation. Reservations are recommended.

Float Center specifics

What is a float session like at Lift?
You float in warm, salt-saturated water free from external stimuli, producing a weightless, meditative state. Reviewers describe feeling deeply calm, balanced, and relaxed, with some dozing off. Sessions last one hour, followed by winding down in the post-float lounge.
What is the difference between the pod and the room?
Lift offers both enclosed float pods and open float rooms. Reviewers describe them as slightly different experiences that come down to personal preference—some prefer the more intimate pod, others the more open room. Both offer the same warm saltwater float.
Is floating safe if I'm claustrophobic?
Reviewers who described being frightened of closed spaces found the environment calming and relaxing, with some even dozing off. Staff are praised for easing nervousness. The open float room is also available if the enclosed pod feels too confining.
What should I do before floating?
Reviewers advise arriving well before your session, since your hour starts when staff call your name, so don't linger in the shower. One guest recommends floating a few hours after a hard workout to avoid overheating the water. Staff walk you through everything.
Are showers and amenities provided?
Yes. Reviewers describe a get-ready area with everything you need, including a hair dryer, plus a relaxing lounge afterward with tea, journals, books, and kaleidoscopes. Showering before and after your float is part of the standard process.
What are the benefits of float therapy here?
The facility and reviewers cite increased serenity, reduced anxiety, mindfulness, and physical relief. One guest with fibromyalgia reported significant pain reduction, while others describe profound calm, better focus before big events, and a deeply restorative, meditative experience.
Does Lift offer memberships or packages?
Yes. The website mentions multiple float packages and VIP membership packages for regular floaters, in addition to single sessions. Several reviewers mention plans to return monthly, so ask staff about ongoing options that fit your routine.
Is the water clean and changed between sessions?
Reviewers note the space is spotless and were told the water is filtered fresh for each person. Float tanks use highly salted water with filtration between uses. For specific filtration details, contact the facility directly to confirm their process.
Can I buy a float session as a gift?
Yes. The facility promotes float sessions as gifts, calling it the ultimate relaxation experience for someone special. One reviewer brought her husband for his birthday. Contact Lift or check their website to purchase a gift float.
How long is a float session and how early should I arrive?
Float sessions last one hour. Because your time starts when staff call your name, arrive early to shower and settle in without cutting into your float. Plan extra time afterward to relax in the lounge with tea and journals.

critical but fair, cleanliness concern

“The float was an amazing experience. The music, the lighting and salt were all a great touch to the experience. Some feedback I'd suggest is scrubbing the tanks as it was very slimey upon entering the tank (the sides of the tub were super slimey and visibly had old residue). The filters were also a ”
