This boulder bathtub from Stone Forest is made of pure granite.Soak, massage or just get clean?
Do you simply want to get clean or would you like a spa experience? This article concentrates on basic bathtubs, but you can further explore your options on whirlpool baths here and the latest tub technology here.
Don't forget
Don't buy your tub without a dry run. See if it fits the curve of your body and your back. Also, make sure that your current hot water heater can fill the unit. Having a 50-gallon tub with a 40-gallon water heater will leave you stranded or at least a little chilly.
