Bathtub .....
Ten inches of water
http://www.usfloattanks.com/construction/
Floating is a practice where an individual enters into a Float Tank (also called an isolation tank or sensory deprivation tank) which is a well-engineered enclosed tub filled with 10″ of water that has 800 lbs. of dissolved Epsom salts in it. The individual lies down in the water and floats effortlessly. The water is heated to the same temperature as the surface of your skin so that when the water settles and you remain relaxed and still, you do not really feel the water anymore. The tank is light-proof and sound-proof and has a neutral smell. The individual lies down in the water and floats effortlessly.
