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.

Yes, that is exactly what it is for. The person needs to be able to slide along the seat; there are other seats on "rails" if this isn't possible. Also be sure that there is enough clearance to properly place the legs outside the tub. We couldn't use ours because the tub curved a lot at the bottom sides -- the chair would only sit halfway in the tub, and then there wasn't sufficient clearance between tub and toilet. Now it is a ding table chair! Good luck to you with this.

The casters should be included in the box. Mine were inside of the tub itself with the instructions. If not, that was definitely a mistake.

The spaces are ample for the bench with the back of the seat at one end and the rest is for scooting onto it. A small bench section sits outside the tub. Then the curtain goes into the first section divider. It fits great.

You are very welcome. We had a different type of bench prior to this. I am so glad we changed out and bought this product. Feet don't stick to the tub yet doesn't slip and so much more comfortable for my wife to sit on.

James, I don't have an inflatable spa, but I can tell you that this doesn't have any sharp edges or things that could poke into an inflatable spa. I'm just concerned that it might not be able to hold any weight you would put on the tray with drinks, etc. It's been great for our fiber glass made hot tub though. Hopefully you can hear some good news from someone with an inflatable spa too.

The reason for this "Shower Bench" is to be able to "slide" into the tub. Why would you even think about cutting up something so expensive. Just find a cheep bench to sit on that fits your tub.

The back of the tub is sloped and it is so comfortable! I don't even need a pillow for my neck. I love this tub and everyone who sees it is shocked that I bought it through amazon.

I purchased this seat as a gift for my niece and her daughter. I sent her your question and this is how she answered: We don't have AC in the car so it is hot, period. But I love the seat. It's light considering its size. Easy to buckle it in and easy to buckle her in. It's padded well and roomy." Sorry not to be more help, but I imagine if it trapped much heat she would've had a complaint about it, especially since they were a/c-less.

This is not an inflatable spa, but could be used indoors or out. Better outdoors, though, there is some water loss when changing filters. Or somewhere where splashing or water spilling aren't an issue.

Hi Allan, I love my spa seat cushion, I don't consider it to be hard, just really heavy. I leave mine submerged in water 24/7 and I would say it's definitely "cushiony". Agreed that it's much smaller in real life.

This chair has a seat like a toilet, but to be stable you would have to sit on the lid of the toilet. A chair for the tub is smaller and is made just for bathing and/or shower depending on size. I would think that it would be more comfortable for you or anyone to use a regular chair made for the tub. Just look up bath chairs. But if you so not want to to do that, try the toilet, basically same design, just has a pail and is a toilet first, and if it works, bath chair. Up to you.

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.

I am wondering if one of these is enough to work in a small hot tub? I am looking for a hot tub that is around 250 gallons. 1. Would I need to use 2 of these or is one sufficient? and 2. would I use it all the time or periodically?

There's a water reservoir that you fill up before bathing them. It doesn't connect to the bathtub. And the power source for the spa is batteries. Hope this helps :) lol

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.
