Size and water
Two-person tubs run 60 to 80 inches long and 32 to 36 inches wide, per Retirement Living3. HomeGuide notes bariatric and two-person tubs hold 100 to 120 gallons, far more than a regular tub1. Plan for a larger water heater and confirm your floor can carry the load.
Is it practical?
A two-person tub can make sense for a couple who both want to soak. If one partner needs help bathing, a single tub with a handheld shower and good grab bars is often easier for a caregiver.
