Hot Tub Buying Guide: Typical Hot Tub Dimensions and Sizes

The spa industry has its own standards and specifications. Therefore, hot tub associations set up hot tub dimension standards for hot tub manufacturers to follow in the world. In this article, we’ll cover the most popular sizes on the market and also things to consider before buying a hot tub.

Hot Tub Sizes

There are different types of hot tubs, e.g., some hot tubs are of the same size, but the number of seating may be different. There are the exact sizes of hot tubs, but they have completely different styles and features.

Before you choose a size, you need to keep in mind how many people you are trying to fit in your spa. Will it only be for you and your partner? Or are you planning to invite your friends for leisure time in the hottub? Are there going to be kids coming or your family?

Generally, there are three sizes most manufacturers offer:

• Small hot tubs: Designed for 2-3 person hot tub

• Medium hot tubs: Designed for 4-6 person hot tub

• Large hot tubs: Designed for 7+ person hot tub

The length, width, and breadth of these hot tubs are-

Small hot tubs (2-3 people): 5’4” – 7” L   x 5’4” – 6’8” W x 29” – 35” H

Medium hot tubs (4-6 people): 6’6” – 7’9” L x 6’4” – 7’9” W x 33” – 38.5” H

Large hot tubs (7+ people): 7’ – 9’ L x 7’ – 9’2” W x 36”- 38” H

The sizes, as mentioned above, are the general sizes; there are fewer standard sizes available too. Unlike some brands only manufacture typical sizes, Royal Spas can customize the dimensions according to your specific requirement.

• Round hot tubs: Designed for 3-5 people hot tub. Its diameter is 72” – 84”.

• Corner hot tubs: Designed for 2-3 people hot tub. These spas are triangular in shape and are generally 6’    long.

Things to consider before you buy a hot tub

Now that you’re aware of the hot tub size available in the market and might have even selected one according to your preference, the next step is to consider different aspects related to the hot tub.

Ask yourself these questions before buying a hot tub:

• Where will I install the hot tub?

• Do I have enough space around the hot tub?

• Can everybody enter and exit properly from different angles?

• Do I have enough space around the hot tub for any future maintenance?

• How many people do I want to fit in my hot tub?

• How frequently will the hot tub be used and by how many people?

After this introspection, you can choose the best hot tub size that meets all your needs.
