Who wouldn't like to loosen up in a cozy bathtub and beat all the weariness that pulls one down at the end of the day, or simply to rejuvenate oneself over the weekend, or just to have a fresh start to a tiring day? How about having a deep bathtub to bathe in? Wouldn't that be exciting and refreshing? And this is the very idea behind deep bathtubs, also known as deep soaking bathtubs, which are the latest trend in bathroom design planning.
Deep tubs are popular because they allow the whole body to soak and relax, while their older counterparts did not offer this benefit. This is one of the most important features of deep bathtubs. Along with providing the much-desired comfort, these bathtubs are user-friendly with many comforting features and come in numerous varieties.
Features of Deep Bathtubs
As the name suggests, deep bathtubs are deeper than the normal ones and are meant for the sheer purpose of soaking the whole body. They are more like deep bathroom sinks that are meant for soaking and the basic ones do not come with any other enhancements like showers and water tabs. These bathtubs are said to have been derived from garden bathtubs that used to be placed in the gardens of the rich and the famous, somewhere during 18th century.
The most prominent feature of a deep bathtub is that they do not relax only the lower parts and limbs of the body. Rather they enable complete relaxation of the whole body, even when a person is in a sitting position, reading or simply sipping on a glass of wine! This feature makes them unique and appealing to absolutely anyone and everyone. There are some wider designs that accommodate two people at a time for a couple to have a romantic bath.
Deep bathtubs also have a hot tub feature that provides greater relaxation to the body. So bathing in these bathtubs can prove to be a good option for people suffering from joint pain or muscle pain. And this makes deep bathtubs the ideal bathtubs for the elderly. These bathtubs are also available with the provision of chromatherapy, a therapy that allows relaxation with the help of different colors, which is a huge fascination among buyers today.
Types of Deep Bathtubs
There is a wide variety when it comes to the designs and styles. Deep bathtubs can be classified as long deep bathtubs and extra deep bathtubs. Long bathtubs require the person to lie down in the tub, while extra deep bathtubs can allow a person to bathe in the sitting position. Deep bathtubs come in two other varieties, namely hot deep bathtubs and deep bathtub shower combos. Hot deep bathtubs are equipped with electric or gas heating systems, and can thus provide hot water. Deep bathtub shower combos are bathing tubs with shower attachments. Both these types of bathtubs are surely very useful.
If you visit any home improvement store, you will realize that you have ample choice when it comes to deep bathtubs. Some of the varieties are, garden deep bathtubs (as explained earlier), Roman deep bathtubs (wherein one needs to step down to bathe), Japanese deep bathtubs (they are so deep that one can soak in water up to the neck while in the sitting position), and Greek deep bathtubs (excellent choice for decorating a small bathroom as they are smaller). One of the other popular and fashionable deep bathtub varieties is the clawfoot deep bathtub. This is a deep bathtub with a rolling rim mounted on claw feet, which give a very elegant look to your bathroom.
