Basic style-Cost effective inflatable bathtub options

I have two adults not able to get in the bath tub, and cleaning has been a problem. This bath tub is perfect for them. Getting in is easy because it’s on their bed. We did have to buy an IV pole to hang the water bag on, but no problem. We love it. One downside is the drain. It is useless. I use thick towels to just sop up the water and dry them and the tub before getting them out.

As my wife's caregiver this makes giving her a bath a breeze. I got rid of the hand pump and bought an electric pump to air up the mattress. I got rid of the water bag and bought more holes for my shower head that could reach her bedroom from the shower and she uses that to wash while she's in the tub. The drain hole was too far underneath the mattress to use so I bought a little shop vac to empty the pool. Even though all the other stuff would have worked because I initially used it at first it just takes a little longer. All I can say is this bathtub works good for us honestly .

My daughter has cerebral palsy and she has had to have 3 emergency surgeries in 5 weeks. She is unable to bend at the middle. So I brought a inflatable bathtub and she loves it. Even though it’s hard to drain all the water out I still have been able to work around that. The problem I have with this system is that after just 6 uses the water bag has started leaking. I can get a replacement for another company and they are only $25.00 I really hope that it lasts longer than 6 uses.

Who on earth thought it was a good idea to place the drain hole at the foot of the unit. All of the water gathers at the hips of the user, so the drain should be placed near the middle of the tub. I saw a recent review that stated they fixed this problem, so that's why I placed my order. Turns out, they have not fixed it in the drain hole is still located at the feet. Update: Aug 2nd 2025 I ordered the Circa Air tub that costs $114. It is vastly superior in quality, the walls come up slightly higher to keep water in, and most importantly... The drain is located at the hips. The drain tubing is also twice the diameter, so it drains twice as fast.

Utilicé el producto con familiar que tiene ALS. Fácil de poner pero el mattress adicional para comodidad fue un poco difícil por el peso del paciente. La altura de las paredes que se inflan es perfecta. La bolsa de agua es de mucha ayuda aunque no tiene mucha presión de agua. Lo único realmente negativo es el drenaje situado al lado izquierdo al final de la bañera. El agua que estaba en el medio debajo del paciente no drenaba, se sacó con vasos.

Unfortunately, my mom passed away before I was able to use this, so it was returned. For people who are completely disabled there are a lot of different things now online so that you do not have to put your loved one in a nursing home. PS there is no such thing as a good nursing home.

it’s a way to give my husband a hot bath he is bed ridden- I really expected the tub to last longer what can I do?

The bed bath is a good concept, yet it is hard to drain. If the drain were located in the middle section of the bath bed, instead of at the foot of the bath, I think it would drain. Once I had my husband in the bed bath, the water settles around the heaviest part of the body (waist, butt, lower back), and there was/is no easy way to get the water to the feet area to drain. And, if the person you are bathing has difficulty moving or rolling over, this bath is more trouble than it's worth. Sorry.
