Lounger or no lounger?

A lounger is a molded seat you lie back in, running most of the length of the tub, with jets along the back and legs. It fits one person at a time. Open seating puts every seat upright along the walls, so the same shell holds more people at once. 135 tubs in our catalog have open seating only, and 61 don't say.
Who should sit in it first?
The tallest and the shortest person in the house. A tall person needs the footwell to be long enough, and a short person needs to reach the end of it or the water lifts them off the seat. Tall buyers should also look at the best hot tubs for tall people.
87 of the 194 lounger tubs seat 6 or 7; compare them with open-seat models of the same size on the 6-person hot tubs list, and see every seat count on the hot tub sizes page.

Common questions
Is a hot tub with a lounger worth it?
It suits a household where one person at a time wants to lie back with jets along the legs and back. If you often have a full tub, open seating fits more people in the same shell.
Does a lounger take up seats?
Usually one. In 4 of the 5 common shell sizes we compared, the median lounger tub lists one seat fewer than the median open-seat tub of the same length and width.
Which hot tubs have two loungers?
23 models list two or more loungers, from Bullfrog Spas, Wellis, American Whirlpool, Cal Spas, Dimension One Spas, Caldera Spas, Hot Spring, Jacuzzi, PDC Spas and Vita Spa.
Why do people float out of a lounger?
Water lifts the legs. If your feet don't reach the end of the footwell, nothing holds you down on the seat. Lie back in it at the showroom and check your feet reach the end; dry is fine.
How much does a hot tub with a lounger cost?
