Large tanks where people can float in dark, soundless and gravity-free peace are the newest addition to luxury developments.

The tanks can cost tens of thousands of dollars and are typically sold in commercial centers devoted to providing the sensory-deprivation experience in a spa-like setting, however a residential market for the tanks is growing, according to the Wall Street Journal.
