Inflatable Hot Tubs vs. Hardshell Hot tubs

This category is a large differentiator between inflatable hot tubs and hard shell hot tubs. Again, you get what you pay for. One of the biggest differences between inflatable hot tubs and hardshell hot tubs is the seating position. In inflatable hot tubs, there is no ledge to sit on and therefore you sit bent at a 90-degree angle with your legs straight in front of you resting on the bottom of the tub. To make things worse, this seating position means everyone’s legs clash in the middle and ultimately have to rest on top of or below everyone else’s legs.

Hardshell Portable Hot tubs are typically taller and larger than the average inflatable hot tub and feature bench or lounge seating with ample legroom. This makes for a much more sustainable and comfortable seating position while avoiding the need to rest your legs on someone else’s. On top of this, hardshell tubs feature a multitude of back, neck, leg, foot, & hand massage jets and massage settings while inflatable hot tubs usually only feature 0-4 jets.
