The Benefits of a Large Hot Tub
Before we embark on comparing some of our favorite large hot tub models, let’s first take a moment to discuss why you should consider getting a large hot tub and its many benefits:
Greater Seating Capacity
A smaller hot tub can definitely serve the purpose of a hot tub. You can certainly relax in the warm water with massaging jets. However, if you have a larger family a small hot tub won’t be very useful. A hot tub won’t be comfortable when it’s not spacious.
A 5-9 person hot tub will have more seating space with additional benches and loungers. This will ensure the whole family can enjoy the hot tub without feeling cramped.
More Footwell Space
Many people consider a 7′ or 8′ square hot tub to be “large,” but the reality is that when four individuals sit in the spa, it feels much smaller.
With more people sitting in a smaller hot tub it can feel as if there’s hardly any footwell space, which leads to uncomfortable bumping and shuffling around.
Larger hot tubs are often rectangular, with a considerably larger footwell to accommodate all of those legs.
More Jets
A larger hot tub means more space for massaging jets. More jets equals more massage possibilities and a more soothing atmosphere. Having a large number of jets also ensures that everyone receives the excellent massage that you would expect from a personal spa.
A larger spa also allows each seat to have customizable jets to provide a personalized massaging experience to every person.
Entertaining Guests
A hot tub experience instantly becomes more enjoyable with more people. The best part about a large hot tub is that you can entertain guests or host a hot tub party whenever you want to.
A larger hot tub has a greater seating capacity and is more spacious meaning your guests will be thoroughly comfortable and entertained.
