What Influences Hot Tub Sizes

Having a proper understanding of the dimensions of a hot tub is always a good first step before you decide on a size for your hot tub.

Length

This is the longest side of the hot tub, where there is often a slope or a recliner. Check the thickness of the edge and see if the manufacturer has advertised the interior or the exterior length of the tub.

Width

Either shorter or the same size as the length of the tub. This is often the most important deciding factor when it comes to fitting your tub into a specific location in your backyard.

Depth

This is different from the “height” of the tub, which is an exterior measure of your hot tub. The “depth” refers to the internal measurement of the tub, from top to bottom.

This is an important consideration because if the depth is too low, it can feel cramped and uncomfortable inside while using.

As a general rule of thumb, your shoulders should be comfortably submerged when sitting in a spa, without the water going above your chin.

5 Factors to Consider When Choosing The Best Hot Tub Size For You

Your hot tub is going to provide unparalleled comfort and relaxation for many years, so it’s crucial to choose the one that best suits your needs, both currently and in the future.

For instance, if you plan on expanding your family in the next five years, it may be better to consider a family-friendly model as opposed to the smaller unit that would suit your needs today.

1. How Many People Will You Share It With?

The number of people who will be using the hot tub regularly is very important to consider when picking out the size.

Do you want a two-person hot tub or a six-person hot tub? At the end of the day, it is all about comfort and relaxation. A cramped hot tub is never a pleasant experience!

2. Your Backyard Layout

There are many things, including privacy, landscaping, and the view from the tub, to consider when selecting where in your backyard your hot tub will be installed.

It should also be in a place that is not too close to tree limbs, due to the possibility of leaves constantly falling or if branches were to fall due to the elements.

3. The Size of Your Backyard

The size of your hot tub fully depends on the overall size of the backyard you’re working with, as well as where you’d like to place it since there are often not too many ideal places in one backyard.

Prior to investing in a model, we recommend carefully measuring your space to ensure the one you choose fits without leaving your backyard feeling cramped.

4. Purpose and Frequency of Use

Do you plan to use your hot tub mostly for leisure and relaxation, or is it for quality time with your family?

Do you plan to entertain your guests, or is it for specific hydrotherapy purposes?

If you wish to use the tub frequently for entertainment purposes, it is always better to go for a size with enough seating that can easily accommodate the number of people you intend to invite over.

On the other hand, if you and your significant other are empty nesters or don’t entertain family and friends often, you might prefer a more compact model.

5. Your Budget

Last but not least, the amount of money that you can contribute to this project should be considered. It is important to consider not only the buying cost but also the operating cost of the tub, which includes ongoing maintenance as well.

Luckily, there are plenty of options to consider these days, including financing to ensure you don’t have to compromise when it comes to the best hot tub for your lifestyle and space.
