When it comes to bathtubs, comfort is determined by three aspects: size, soaking depth, and ergonomic design. The size is often less flexible because it needs to match both your body dimensions and the size of your bathroom. For those who prefer a deeper soak, a Japanese soaking tub might be the ideal choice as it meets these specific needs. Therefore, when selecting the most suitable bathtub, the focus should be on ergonomic design—a broad topic that encompasses aspects such as back support, tilt angles, and grip.
Luckily, you've come to Giving Tree Home, a specialist in bathroom solutions that focuses on addressing user pain points. Based on our understanding of ergonomics, we offer a range of user-friendly ergonomic freestanding bathtubs designed to align with your bathing habits.
The concept of ergonomics dates back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries but saw systematic development and application primarily in the mid-20th century. Its essence lies in making tools that fit the natural shape of the human body. This way, the user does not need to actively adapt to the tool, thereby reducing fatigue. Initially, ergonomic technology was mainly applied in industrial fields, but with technological advancements and increased health awareness, it gradually shifted to home environments, becoming highly popular, especially in bathtubs.
For those accustomed to long-term use of showers, the concept of ergonomics in bathtubs might seem unnecessary. However, it's quite essential. Poor design can lead to discomfort. For instance, some bathtubs have drainage holes aligned with the pipes, which is unreasonable as it might cause odor backflow. So, what does ergonomic design include for bathtubs? Taking Giving Tree Home's ergonomic bathtubs as an example:
These bathtubs feature an integrated seat, allowing users to sit comfortably during the bath, reducing leg pressure and alleviating fatigue from long soaks. These tubs are usually smaller, typically between 47''-50'', but have a greater soaking depth of 16''-20''.
Most bathtubs lack back support, at most being slightly inclined. This means users need to buy additional backrests or bath pillows to enhance their bathing experience. However, bathtubs with built-in back support feature a gentle slope on one side, eliminating the need for extra costs while providing back support.
Some bathtubs have extended sides with a rectangular hole for placing towels, ensuring your towel stays dry during the bath and is easily accessible, preventing exposure to the cold.
Similar to tubs with back support, these tubs offer a more comfortable position for users to recline. A single slipper tub has one raised end for you to recline comfortably, while a double slipper tub has both ends raised, with the drain and overflow in the middle, allowing you to switch positions freely.
As a long-standing brand in the bathroom industry, we are always aware of the importance of ergonomics in enhancing the user experience with bathtubs and strive to create the most suitable and comfortable products. You'll find that most bathtubs sold by Giving Tree Home have tilt angles of 100°-120°, which is verified to be the most ergonomic design, allowing users to recline comfortably without worrying about slipping, thus alleviating spinal fatigue.
Additionally, unlike middlemen, our goal is to create a comprehensive and affordable bathroom brand. Therefore, you will find a variety of styles and products at Giving Tree Home, all at competitive prices. Most importantly, all our products have passed international certifications such as cUPC, SGS, ISO, CE, and CEG.
Not necessarily. The ideal inclination angle depends on the user's body size. Taller individuals may find larger inclination angles more comfortable, while shorter individuals might prefer smaller angles. For a more comprehensive understanding of bathtub inclination angles, we recommend reading our article, "How to Choose the Bathtub Inclination Angle".
Yes, it does. Typically, round and square shapes are considered less comfortable because they require users to sit upright. In contrast, oval or egg-shaped provides a more comfortable posture. You can refer to our article, "What is the Best Bathtub Shape", to find the most ergonomically suitable soaking bathtub for you.
Not necessarily. For elderly individuals or those with mobility issues, walk-in bathtubs (currently not sold by Giving Tree Home) are recommended. If a company tries to sell you a sit-in bathtub by claiming it is suitable for the elderly, it's best to look elsewhere.
Yes, they can. A freestanding bathtub faucet is a good choice, as it benefits both cleaning the bathtub and showering. If you have already purchased a bathtub with an unsuitable angle, consider adding a backrest or bathtub pillow to adjust the angle and make it more ergonomically comfortable.
