Choosing The Best Lay-Z-Spa For Your Garden

Lay-Z-Spa Buying Guide

If you are looking to buy a Lay-Z-Spa but not sure which is the best hot tub for your garden, we can help.

With the largest range of inflatable hot tubs across all UK brands, and new foam hot tubs, Lay-Z-Spa hot tubs come in all shapes, sizes, and colours, as well as offering an affordable luxury experience for all budgets.

Things to consider when buying a hot tub for your garden

  • How will you provide electrical power to the hot tub? You need an outdoor power source that has been installed by a professional electrician.
  • Do you have enough space for a hot tub? Lay-Z-Spa hot tubs come in many different sizes. You can find full specifications on our product listings so you can be sure it will fit in your desired location.
  • Is your floor level or your decking strong enough? Lay-Z-Spa hot tubs require a flat level floor so that the water and weight is dispersed equally. If placing your inflatable hot tub on decking, make sure it is strong enough to hold the weight of the water and people.
  • Do you have a sheltered location? Positioning your Lay-Z-Spa in a corner or close to a wall is great for sheltering against wind. You may also want to consider something that will protect against direct sunlight and rain.
The best small Lay-Z-Spa hot tubs

Best hot tubs for small spaces

Just because you have a small garden space doesn’t mean you have to miss out on experiencing the luxury of a hot tub. The best Lay-Z-Spa hot tub for a small garden is the foam wall Olso AirJet™ or Carrara AirJet™ both with a diameter of 170cm, but space for up to 6 people. These are followed closely by the popular Miami which is 180cm when inflated.  

One of the biggest advantages of a Lay-Z-Spa is that it is a portable hot tub that can be set up and packed down again whenever you like. This way, you don’t have to compromise your small garden space all the time if you don’t want to.

Lay-Z-Spa Buying Guide: round or square hot tub?

Is a round or square hot tub better?

Traditionally, portable hot tubs are round, but we see an ever-growing demand for our square ones. Round hot tubs are said to be better for a social experience with everyone facing each other, and look great just about anywhere, whilst square hot tubs can fit into some of those more awkward spaces and limit any dead space in corners. Ultimately, whether you choose a round or square hot tub will be down to personal preference.

Which Lay-Z-Spa has lights?

You can find all our hot tubs with lights right here. Some have fully integrated remote-controlled LED lights, while others have the option of water-powered lights.

Can I leave a Lay-Z-Spa out all year?

From 2021, all Lay-Z-Spa hot tubs come with Freeze Shield®. This means you can use your hot tub in the cold months of winter, even if not very frequently, and not have to worry about packing it down. Freeze Shield® is specially designed so that, if you don’t have your hot tub on a constant heat, it kicks in when the temperature drops below 6°C and gives a burst of warmth to your water.

Is a Lay-Z-Spa easy to maintain?

Yes, a Lay-Z-Spa is easy to look after. You will quickly get into the habit of an easily manageable chemical and maintenance routine. We have plenty of easy to understand resources on our website to get you started and to continue looking after your Lay-Z-Spa.
