Relaxing in a hot tub is a great way to let your worries melt away. Unfortunately, hot tubs can be pretty expensive. A great solution is the inflatable hot tub. Please read our Coleman Lay-Z review (sometimes spelled “Coleman Lazy Spa”).
Coleman Lay Z Inflatable Hot Tub Spa Review
Coleman has been a trusted manufacturer of recreation equipment over a century. Although they specialize in camping gear, they do make a few pools and spas. Their Coleman inflatable spa is an affordable way to have that relaxing hot tub experience, backed up by the trustworthy Coleman name.
Getting the Coleman Lay-Z inflatable hot tub up and running is easy. You don’t need any tools and the spa inflates itself using a built-in pump.
This hot tub is quite sturdy and durable. The material is a TriTech 3-ply reinforced with a polyester mesh core encased in two layers of PVC. The walls feature an I-Beam construction, giving you enough sturdiness to comfortably lean up against the walls without any risk of bending or buckling. There is an air cushion along the floor of the spa, adding to comfort and also aiding in insulation.
It takes a while for the water to heat up to the maximum temperature of 104° but then it does a decent job of maintaining that temp, especially when you use the insulated cover when not using the hot tub.
Overall, this hot tub is easy to use thanks to the simple digital control panel. The bubble jets give a nice gentle massage but you’ll be disappointed if you’re looking for really hard massage jets.
A nice feature of this or any inflatable is that it is portable. You can take it down and pack it up without too much hassle.
