To lounge, or not to lounge? That is the question

[webboy]

After responding to PVM question about best selling models, it brought this question to mind. Loungers? I have heard that most first time buyers (that would be me) always go for the double lounger, but the seasoned spa owner usually passes on the loungers for their next spa. Is this true? I figure nothing would be better than laying back and enjoying the spa experience in a lounger, other than space I would think that everyone would want as many loungers as possible. What do you say?

Thanks

it is nice to have one.
but most of the time i don't use the lounger.
I would like to say    It's what feels right for you.

I read the same thing and I originally thought I wanted a lounger. It seems that even though I don't float in a pool the jets will push me out of the seat. I opted for no lounge.

Owning the spa for over a year, I'm not sorry I don't have a lounger although there are times when I'm streched out in the tub in the hot water that I think it might be nice to have a structure .. but these times happen very infrequently for me.

It really is a personal thing ... for me it might be different if it was completely dark and gazing at the stars.

A double lounger is a personal choice, single lounges are more popular.  Coleman has a fine array of double and single loungers......Test um....see what you think.  Hottubtommy

loungers in my opinion are a waste of money.  I love having structure in my tub.  I have moulded countoured seats.  Here is my tub below.



I prefer sitting in something rather than the feeling of floating around, plus when im sitting in the tub, i dont overly love feeling of water sitting in my ears, but that is just me.

A lounger is one of the most overblown sales tools in the industry.  Think about it...about the only difference between a lounge and a corner seat is that you don't have plastic on the back of your legs in a corner seat.  Granted, some lounges have little peehole jets on the back of the legs, but they are pretty worthless, especially the ones that invade your crack.

Lounge- You're reclined, your knees are up, there is plastic on the back of your calves and possibly peehole and crack jets.  Takes up a lot of space.

Corner Seat- You're reclined, your knees are up, there is no plastic on the back of your calves and there are possibly jets coming out horizontally onto your legs.  Takes up a little space.

The only way you'll figure out if you want one is to wet test.

Termy,

I'm surprised to hear you say that, I thought the Envoy was your favorite tub... if not for the lounger wouldn't one of the other HS have the same seats to suit your needs?

P.S.  Small hijack of post... hows the baby?

The little diaper vandal is fine and dandy and I appreciate you asking.

He is almost too pretty, so I've been rubbing sandpaper on his face after Ol' Meanness has gone to bed to ugly him up a bit.  I have to rush home after work to snatch him away from his momma and big sister before they turn him into a baby doll, so I teach him man ways.  He can already pee in the sink like his daddy and he spits better than me already.  He tries to scratch his giblets but can't control his hands yet, but he'll learn.

I do love the Envoy and I do love the lounge.  It fits me perfect and I don't float.  But just about everyone who comes in the store says "I have to have a lounge".  I ask "Why?" and they say "I don't know, they just look comfortable."  So I invite them to try it out to see if it truly is comfortable for them.  I just think it's made out to be more than it is by most people.

Ehhh...I can take it or leave it.

I apologize for my colorful language, I didn't realize that you were a lady.

Sorry.

If we would have to replace our spa tomorrow, my wife would absolutely have a lounger. She loves the wrist and foot jets.  At 5'4" It fits her just right.

Honey child, I'm 50 something years old, was blessed by God to be born and raised in the great state of Texas....I just knew you was another native.....there is NOT ENOUGH of us anymore.


So I am not hijacking the thread.....we love our lounger.  We don't fight over it, but it is an unspoken rule in our family first one in the tub, gets the lounger.
