Collection: Soaking Tubs

Ultimate Bathing Experience: Soaking Tub

What do you think is the ultimate essence of a bathtub? Beauty? Convenience? Affordability? Let's be serious—it's comfort! No one wants to spend $1,000 or more just to decorate their bathroom, right? So, what kind of bathtub is the most comfortable? That's a great question.

After a year of online research and customer visits, Giving Tree Home found the answer: bathtubs with large soaking depth—Soaking Tub.

What Qualifies as a Soaking Tub

In the modern internet era, you can find answers to almost any question with a quick search. However, when it comes to niche markets, online information often has marketing purposes. For example, if a brand only sells bathtubs with a soaking depth of less than 13 inches, they might claim that a 12" tub offers the best soaking experience to promote their products.

Unlike these brands, Giving Tree Home is a more extensive retailer, offering bathtubs with soaking depths ranging from 13" to over 20". Therefore, we state the facts without exaggeration. Based on our experience, a tub with a soaking depth of 15" or more truly qualifies as a soaker tub. This depth can submerge all parts of your body that need soaking, while providing slight buoyancy, making the soaking experience more relaxing and comfortable.

Benefits of Deep Soaking Tub

Compatible with Small Bathroom Designs

While not all soaking tubs are classified as small, they typically have a significant soaking depth, allowing users to sit upright rather than lie down. This design means you don't need extra length to stretch out your legs, making it compatible with small bathroom layouts.

These tubs are often referred to as "sit-in" tubs and tend to have a deeper soaking depth, with some reaching up to 20 inches. Sit-in tubs not only save space but also provide a comfortable full-body soaking experience, making them ideal for modern designs in smaller bathrooms.

Haven for Extended Soaking

Some users purchase bathtubs intending to soak while reading or watching shows. For these users, a freestanding soaking tub may be the perfect choice. While tubs with shallower soaking depths can offer similar functionality, deep soaker tubs take this experience to the next level.

Extra deep soaking tubs have greater soaking depths, providing more buoyancy, which makes it easier for users to relax without feeling fatigued during long baths. This design is particularly suited for those who want to unwind in the tub for extended periods.

Additionally, the deeper the soaking depth, the larger the water capacity, which means that heat dissipates more slowly, keeping the water warm for a longer period. This is a significant advantage for those who enjoy long soaks.

Moreover, all the soaking tubs sold by Giving Tree Home are made from solid surface or acrylic materials. Solid surface tubs are usually made by mixing natural minerals with high-performance resins and are cast into shape, providing greater thickness and density to effectively prevent heat loss. Acrylic tubs, on the other hand, are formed through vacuum-molding acrylic sheets, which create a vacuum layer. Our products also include four or five layers of insulation for even better heat retention.

Beneficial for Your Health

We all know that water has buoyancy, and in a container of the same size, the greater the depth, the higher the buoyancy. This means that the deeper a soaking bathtub is, the better its buoyancy effect. So, how does this benefit your health?

• When your body is supported by water, the pressure on your joints and muscles is greatly reduced, which is excellent for alleviating arthritis, muscle soreness, and other joint issues.
• Soaking in deeper water increases the hydrostatic pressure on your body, which helps improve blood circulation, reducing inflammation and enhancing overall cardiovascular health.
• Warm water and steam can help open up airways and improve respiratory function. Additionally, deep soaking can accelerate metabolism, aiding in detoxification and maintaining a healthy weight.
• Deep soaking provides comprehensive body relaxation, helping to relieve psychological stress and anxiety, which in turn improves sleep quality, allowing you to wake up refreshed and ready to tackle each day with vigor.
• Deep soaking exposes more skin areas to water, helping to open pores for deep cleansing and moisturizing, not only promoting skin health but also giving your skin a radiant glow.

How to Calculate Tub Soaking Depth

When selecting and using a bathtub, calculating the effective soaking depth is a crucial step to ensure a comfortable experience. To prevent unnecessary wetness from water overflow, modern tubs typically include an overflow drain. These overflow drains are located at the top of the tub and can be round with holes, embedded strips, or metal-edged designs. Regardless of their shape, their function is to prevent further filling by channeling excess water through internal pipes once the water level reaches a certain height.

To calculate the effective soaking depth of a tub, measure the distance from the bottom of the tub to the overflow drain. This measurement represents the actual usable soaking depth, not the overall height of the bathtub.
