Your Budget
Your family or personal budget is going to be different than
the financial means of the person next door to you. Regardless
of how much you love the particular model they have in their
home, that may not be the best hot tub for your family if it's
one that you really can't afford. On the other hand, if you can
get something that's a bit bigger and has more features, you
may want to splurge on some of those extras rather than just
getting the most basic, stripped-down model there is. The best
hot tub for your family is going to be one that is fun and
enjoyable but that won't leave you scrimping and saving for
other necessary items as well!
The Size of the Tub
Softubs can be found in a variety of sizes, our 6 person 300, 4 person 220 and 2 person 140,
offer variety and are perfect for just two to
those that are "party" size and that can fit a half dozen or so
people at once. The best tub for your family should be
large enough to accommodate everyone, as no one will enjoy
waiting in line to jump in! If it's just you and your partner,
then a smaller version might be good, but if you have kids or
plan to entertain a lot, you may want to get something with
less features but that's larger and affordable. Softubs offer
you the best options so that you
can stretch your legs and relax.
The Size of Your Home
If you live in a small house, softub is great because it
is portable and can easily move when you do. Be sure to
take some measurements of your sunroom or outdoor deck before
purchasing. No matter how it looks in the store, the
best tub for you will not be one that can't fit through
your front door! This is never a problem with Softub as it fits
in any conventional sized doorway, but you do want to measure
it to fit in the space you desire. See our model sizes
