6 Person Inflatable Spa

View as

How nice it is to have a 6 person spa at home? You can go for a cosy outdoor spa bath after a long day with your family or invite your best buds over for a quick catch-up while soaking in a warm, bubbly bath. These hot tubs even have air jets to give you a soothing massage that will definitely leave you feeling relaxed. 

If you're thinking of getting one, the first thing you would need to consider is your budget. Spas are not cheap especially if you're going for hard-shell ones that require installation. Fortunately, you can go for another more affordable alternative: inflatable spas. Inflatable spas pretty much allow you to enjoy the same function minus the hassle. 

For one, they have a significantly lower price tag compared to wooden spas. You get to skip installation costs too. A lot of blow up spas in the market are designed to inflate and deflate quickly, so the setup process is one less thing to worry about. 

These types of spas are extremely portable and while you might need to be extra careful of punctures, the overall benefits are definitely worth every penny particularly if you're opting for a bigger-sized hot tub like a 6 person spa. 

How Big Is a 6 Person Spa?

Dimensions vary for every 6 person spa but a general rule is that it should measure between 2.15 and 2.36m in length and width, and between 84cm and 97cm in height. This should accommodate the desired number of people comfortably and since most inflatable spas are modelled after authentic ones, a 6 person inflatable spa is likely to be within the same dimensions too. 

Anything smaller than the given measurements would fit more in the 2-4 person spa category, while a bigger size is considered more as a 5-7 person spa. If you're leaning more towards an inflatable 6 person spa, the Bestway Lay-Z-Spa Palm Springs is one good option. Simply inflate it for 10 minutes and you can enjoy an authentic spa experience complete with 140 air jets and a digital control panel. 

Another excellent 6 person spa that you can avail of at Outbax is the Bestway Lay-Z-Spa Hawaii. Aside from the 140 air jets, it has 8 hydro jets as well and is equipped with Freeze Shield™ technology. This means you can enjoy a warm dip even during winter which is simply the best time to get cosy too.

How Much Is a 6 Person Spa?

Hard-shell spas can range from $2,500 to $30,000 including installation costs depending on the type and additional groundwork required to set it up. Basically, the more additional features you want, the higher the price tag you need to brace for. A 6 person spa would go somewhere between this range because of the size too. 

This is one advantage of inflatable spas. A blow up 6 person spa can start at $800 to $3,000 which is a huge difference compared to the previous price bracket discussed. You can even go lower if you find a supplier that offers quality spas at an affordable price! 

For instance, the available 6 person spa prices at Outbax start at $699 to $1499-what a steal. We’re talking about quality, durable Bestway inflatable spas here. They are all built with durable Tritech™ material and equipped with equally convenient features for the most comfortable, long-lasting use. 

How Many Jets Should a 6 Person Spa Have?

You want to make sure that your 6 person spa has enough jets-not too few and not too many. Ideally, you should look for something with at least 20-30 jets for every massage pump and 5-6 jets per massage seat. Why does the number of jets matter? Since there is a limited amount of water coming out of the jet pumps, every additional jet your tub has reduces the amount of water available for other jets. 

This means that having fewer jets will mean that the water pressure will be uncomfortably strong while having too many won't be able to properly massage your muscles. The placement and size of your jets also matter. If the jets do not really hit you on the right spot, it defeats the purpose of the water massage in the first place. Similarly, there isn't any therapeutic benefit if certain jets are not big or small enough to target specific areas like your neck and lower legs.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much do inflatable spas cost to run?

    Running costs vary based on usage frequency, local climate, and electricity rates, but inflatable hot tubs prove surprisingly economical. The filtration system draws just 50W during operation, while heating (2,050W) and massage jets (800W) only consume power when actively used, allowing you to manage expenses through smart scheduling and proper insulation maintenance.

  • How long does an inflatable hot tub take to heat up?

    Expect your spa to heat at approximately 1-2°C per hour, meaning initial setup from cold water typically requires 24-48 hours to reach the maximum 40°C temperature. Once heated, the insulated cover and efficient heating system maintain temperature with minimal energy consumption between uses.

  • Can you use an inflatable spa in winter?

    Yes, winter spa sessions offer exceptional relaxation, and models equipped with Freeze Shield™ technology actively protect against cold-weather damage. This intelligent system automatically activates heating when temperatures approach freezing, preventing ice formation that could damage pumps and liners while ensuring year-round enjoyment.

  • What's the difference between Airjets and Hydrojets?

    Airjets create thousands of gentle bubbles for soothing, all-over relaxation, perfect for stress relief and mild muscle tension. Hydrojets deliver powerful, targeted water streams for deep tissue massage, ideal for athletic recovery or addressing specific problem areas requiring intensive therapy.

  • How long do inflatable spas last?

    With proper maintenance and care, quality inflatable spas featuring Tritech™ or DuraPlus™ construction typically provide 5-7 years of regular use, with many owners reporting even longer lifespans. Regular water treatment, proper storage during extended non-use periods, and prompt attention to minor issues significantly extend operational life.

  • What do I need to put under my inflatable hot tub?

    Place a ground mat, foam tiles, or heavy-duty tarp on your chosen level surface to provide additional protection and insulation. This barrier prevents moisture damage to decking, protects the spa base from abrasion, and can improve heating efficiency by reducing ground heat loss.

  • Do you need chemicals for an inflatable hot tub?

    Yes, maintaining proper water chemistry is essential for safe, hygienic spa use. Like traditional hot tubs, inflatable spas require regular sanitiser application, pH balancing, and periodic shock treatments to prevent bacterial growth and ensure crystal-clear, healthy water for every soak.

  • How many people can realistically fit in a 4-6 person spa?

    While marketed as 4-6 person capacity, these spas most comfortably accommodate 4 adults with ample room for relaxation. The higher number typically refers to maximum capacity with people seated upright, but for optimal comfort during extended soaking sessions, plan for the lower figure.

  • Do all inflatable hot tubs come with a cover?

    Quality inflatable spas always include an insulated, lockable cover as standard equipment. This essential component maintains water temperature between uses, prevents debris contamination, ensures child safety through secure locking mechanisms, and significantly reduces heating costs through improved thermal efficiency.
