The 4 Best Inflatable Hot Tubs of 2020

Maybe you're curious about an inflatable hot tub, but aren't quite sure if you'll actually use it. If that's the case, it's worth trying this affordable, 145-gallon option from Aleko. It has a distinctive oval shape (75 x 47 inches) and works best for two adults. It comes with a drink tray that attaches to the outside of the tub, as well as a foil-lined cover to help the water retain heat when it's not being used. There are 130 air jets and a built-in side panel to control settings such as bubbles, heat, and filtration levels.

If your hot tub motto is "Go big or go home," you'll want to add the Intex PureSpa to your shopping shortlist. Measuring 85 inches across, this massive round tub is the largest option on our list: It holds nearly 300 gallons of water and seats six people comfortably. This particular package also comes with one seat cushion, one inflatable head rest, and a drink tray, and even more accessories can be bought separately. The spa has 170 high-power air jets to keep it extra bubbly, and you can adjust the settings from the tub using the removable digital panel. Another fun feature: The multicolor LED light, which will give evenings a festive vibe.

Think of this option from Comfort Line, which seats up to four adults, as a hybrid: It's an inflatable tub (measuring about 74 inches across) that sits within a hexagonal-shaped shell. It's also the one that's likely to stay the warmest when used during the winter months, thanks to those exterior panels, which have two-inch vacuum-sealed insulation, and a freeze-resistant motor. The spa also comes with a thermal ground mat and an insulated inflated cover for extra protection against the cold.

There's a digital control panel on the side of the tub, and 127 air jets that provide bubbles. One cool design feature is that the slats are reversible, so you can choose between a rich, red cherry wood color or a darker walnut brown. The floor is also cushioned, which is nice if you have kids, like to do stretches in the water, or just prefer a more cushioned surface in the tub.
