Coleman lay-Z Spa Inflatable Hot Tub (Lazy Spa) Review 2023

May 17, 2020 last updated

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.

Coleman Lay Z Spa Inflatable Hot Tub

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.

Buyer rating
The majority of purchasers are very happy with the Coleman Lay Z inflatable spa. It has a lot of reviews on Amazon and has a 3.8-star average. A lot of reviewers confirm that setup is indeed fast and easy, though some people do complain that the instructions aren’t as clear as they could be. Many people describe it as exceeding their expectations. One of the primary complaints is that the capacity is less than advertised, as 4-6 adults would be way too crowded. Some users describe enjoying the spa at first but then having issues with the motor or dealing with an air leak. These experiences do seem to be the minority, though, as most people report that the Coleman inflatable hot tub works consistently and reliably. Click here to see the customer reviews for yourself
