It looks like the spa n a box doesn't have a bench or seats.. Is it comfortable to just sit in a flat-bottomed hot tub? Seems odd...

No bench or seats; a 3/16" pads installs between the liner and the surface below and prides some padding. We previously owned substantially more expensive softub and did not find the spa in a box model any less comfortable as to seating comfort. I have always preferred this type of seating to the hard fiberglass seats in conventional spas. While I did not find Spa in a box a box a good value, the seating is certainly adequate. Good luck.

Hello Teagan. Correct, there isn't a bench or seats. Being that this spa is only about 3' 6" deep and soft sided, it's pretty comfortable. Recommendation: Should you purchase and have chosen a flat/hard surface, a nice sturdy large piece of foam underneath this spa is great. Let me know, should you require further details prior to any potential purchase.- Adam

it's comfortable. In fact I like it better than being constrained to seats. Can adjust my height in the spa just by sitting up or slumping down and putting my feet out. Only drawback might be if you try to fit more than a couple of other people in the tub.

No, not recommended. This is designed for aquarium use, and does not have the heat tolerance required for the hot tub. Best bet is to find something form a pool and spa supply store that is designed to be used in the hot tub.

No reason in particular. If you read a warning on the box then simply return them. But we've had no complaints from anyone in a hot tub.

You can place the bench as for from the front of the tub as you want. The legs are adjustable both the set inside the tub and outside. It's totally up to your preference.

LOL I actually was thinking about the same thing for hot summer night camping. 1) the extending sections have those little values so I can't imagine getting water into them easily. 2) it will leak. 3) that is a lot of weight. If you are adventurous and have and extra $30 - try it and let us know. It is very comfortable as it is.

The extra low seat is not heated. They have a standard low heat that you can get heated though

There is plenty of room for you to lay across the seats. Not your ideal laying out float. It's intended more for people sitting.

Sounds expensive and the tub is so small, you'd have to get a lot of it.... Otherwise it's a great product.... Could be slippery. Good luck.

Yes, mine is in the guest bath, which has a tub/shower combo. It looks terrific! :-)

I had to look up the M.P.S.Spa. I think, I said think they would work fine on the exterior. Evidently you don't have a built in spa, no deck? If it sits on ground/earth, I'd suggest a wooden/cement platform to sit the plastic on. I'm not sure of top weight allowed, as there is no buffer of water. You certainly don't have to anchor it from floating. My best suggestion is to put a gate on it to prevent young children from going into it to tragedy. I'm very happy with these steps, in fact, just removed them from pool today, put away for winter. This is my first summer, they still look like new, no cracks or discoloration from sun.

the water in the tub is only about 24 inches deep when you fill the spa up to the top of the filter . . . I am a small person -- took the head rests out and filled the tub up to nearly the top . . . it is fine for me, but, using the lounger is uncomfortable and the water just barely covers my body . . . in the future, I will opt for four reclining corner seats instead of any lounger. I just use the two seats . . . the other thing is that there is not a lot of leg room between the seat and the floor. For a taller person -- taller than 5'4", I would suspect that it would be uncomfortable. Otherwise, it is a nice size for one person, energy efficient and will serve my winter needs for a few years. the water in the tub is only about 24 inches deep when you fill the spa up to the top of the filter . . .

The curved seat gives a feeling of security because a flat one would make me feel like I could slide off. I am short so I wish it were lower, but it makes it possible for me to shower when we travel. Some hotel/motels (in the south) don't have seats--just extra grab bars.

This is a very nice little tub (I'm 6'2" and I enjoyed it). I bought a roll of reflective insulation to go under mine to aid in retaining heat. Otherwise nothing is needed under it and No special outlet. Just know there is a drain plug in the bottom. Mine never leaked and Bestway Customer Service was very good and quick to replace my heating unit when it leaked. You might want to put a HOT WATER HEATER Drip Pan under the heater (18 - 22") encase you need to disconnect the heater, it will capture the water from the pipes. Would've been great to have shutoff valves on the hoses and AIR hose!!! This is a very nice little tub (I'm 6'2" and I enjoyed it).

We have just a mattress but I think if there were a boxspring the head room would be too small to be comfortable. Right now my children and I can sit up on the bottom bunk (I am 5'2"). My husband, who is taller cannot sit up.

It wii but this is not the seat you want. Go to Goodwill and they have used equipment cheap and more appropriate. You need the bench that sits outside and inside the tub, so that the person can slide into the tub which is much better. This seat is for a mobile person and works best in a shower without the tub.

Hi! Stephanie. We were not home when it came to us. The box is surprisingly small as they roll up the mattress and squeeze out most of the air. It was simple to roll.out and it came into shape witout much fuss. Its a good mattress.
