Collection: Sitting Tubs

Buy the Best Sitting Bathtub

Not everyone prefers to bathe while lying down. If you use a bathtub with a smooth surface, it can be easy to slip after using bath gel or soap while reclining, which can be dangerous. Standing in the bathtub to shower is also not a wise choice, as it can be slippery for your feet as well. So, is there a solution to this problem? The answer is: buy the best sitting bathtub from Giving Tree Home!

What is a Sitting Bathtub

Sitting bathtub, also known as a seated bathtub or sit-down bathtub, is a type of tub designed with an integrated seat. It typically follows a Japanese-style design, compact in size, and allows a user to complete their bathing process while seated.

One concept that often causes confusion is the difference between a sitting bathtub and a walk-in bathtub. Essentially, a walk-in bathtub is a subset of sitting bathtubs, distinguished primarily by the addition of a door for easy access, alongside the built-in seat.

While a walk-in bathtub may appear to be a preferable choice, it's important to note it often comes at a higher price and has limited styles. Therefore, younger individuals who prefer to bathe in a seated position may find a modern sitting bathtub more suitable. However, for elderly or mobility-challenged individuals, considering a walk-in bathtub may be more practical.

Why Recommend Purchasing a Bathtub with a Seat

Space-saving and Easy Installation

Most tubs with seats are of Japanese design, falling under the category of compact-sized tubs. At Giving Tree Home, all sitting tubs are designed as freestanding units, offering the dual advantages of space-saving and easy installation. You can place them in any corner of your bathroom space without any restrictions, as long as there is a drain outlet!

So, does it fail to provide enough soaking space?

Hey, think again. Bathtub size primarily involves two aspects: length and depth. Typically, bathtubs with built-in seats aren't too long because you're always bathing in a seated position. Hence, 47'' is sufficient to stretch your legs comfortably, and if you're more substantial, we also offer a larger 49'' option. As for soaking depth, you need not worry at all. These bathtubs are designed with sitting in mind, often featuring a higher depth to ensure adequate soaking depth. For example, sitting bathtubs sold by Giving Tree Home typically have soaking depths ranging from approximately 16'' to 18'', with some even more!

Ergonomic Comfort

This might be the primary reason people consider sitting bathtubs, especially for those who enjoy prolonged soaking sessions. Sitting bathtubs are undoubtedly your best choice. The driving force behind purchasing a bathtub is to enjoy life and relieve fatigue; otherwise, people would opt for a shower. Sitting bathtubs maximize user satisfaction in this regard and are designed to alleviate pressure on the legs. For an enhanced experience, consider a slipper sitting bathtub where the backrest extends outward rather than staying upright. Ultimately, you can enjoy bathing in a position akin to sitting on a sofa.

Affordable Prices

Bathtub prices depend on materials, size, and brand, but at Giving Tree Home, we promise to offer the highest quality and most affordable sitting bathtubs online. Most products in this series are made from acrylic, a commonly used bathtub material known for its cost-effectiveness, lightweight nature, and antimicrobial properties. Therefore, you'll find these acrylic sitting bathtubs priced below $1,000.

Of course, if you're looking for a premium option, Giving Tree Home also offers sitting bathtubs made from solid surface materials. Unlike acrylic, these bathtubs often feature a matte finish, providing a more comfortable tactile feel. As a high-end bathtub material, sitting bathtubs made from solid surface materials may be priced around $1,500 to $2,000. Nevertheless, they remain a cost-effective choice compared to walk-in sitting bathtubs!
