Purchasing your first hot tub is exciting, but with so many models and options, it’s easy to feel unsure about what to pick. At Goodall Pools & Spas, we’ve helped countless new spa owners find the best hot tubs to fit their homes and lifestyles. The right size, seating, and style are the keys to choosing a hot tub you’ll love for years to come.
Choosing the Right Size Hot Tub
One of the first decisions is size. Hot tubs are available in compact two- or three-person models, mid-size spas with room for four to five, or larger hot tubs designed for six or more. The best size depends on your space and how you plan to use the spa:
- Smaller hot tubs are ideal for couples or for areas with limited space, like a patio or balcony.
- Medium hot tubs suit families or those who want more versatility without taking up too much yard space.
- Large hot tubs are great for entertaining and give everyone plenty of room to stretch out.
Our showrooms feature models in a range of sizes so you can compare in person and find the right fit.
Best Hot Tubs for Seating and Style
Seating configuration makes a big difference in comfort. First-time buyers should look at how many people the spa will hold and the variety of seating available.
- Bench seating maximizes space, making it easy to fit more people.
- Lounge seating lets you recline and stretch out for a more immersive soak.
- Therapy seats target specific muscle groups with different jet placements.
Sundance® Spas and Viking Spas™ both offer a wide range of seating setups, so you can choose a style that matches how you want to use your hot tub most.
Features That Make a Difference
Beyond size and seating, today’s best hot tubs come with features that improve the experience:
- Jet options for customizable hydrotherapy.
- Lighting and sound systems for relaxation and entertaining.
- Energy efficiency to help manage operating costs.
Working with an experienced hot tub dealer makes it easier to compare features and decide which ones are most important for your first spa.
Benefits of a Hot Tub You’ll Enjoy
Once you’ve chosen the right style, the real reward is in daily use. The benefits of a hot tub include stress relief, better sleep, improved recovery after workouts, and the chance to spend more time connecting with friends and family. A well-chosen spa quickly becomes a favorite part of your routine.
