Who are double bathtubs suitable for?
Two-person bathtubs are ideal for couples. But which model best suits your needs? In addition to the available space, the shape of the bathtub, its capacity, the material, the size, and the installation method are all crucial factors in choosing the right two-person bathtub. To enhance the sense of comfort, they are often larger than conventional bathtubs. At Duravit, all rectangular bathtubs 180 cm and larger are available as two-person models.
In addition, we offer additional features and accessories that enhance the sense of well-being in the bathroom—regardless of the type of bathtub. The series and model are key factors here. For example, there are bathtub models that can be optionally equipped with a neck rest. Or you can choose a whirlpool bathtub for two people, which provides a true spa experience and pampers you from head to toe.
Freestanding bathtubs for two people
Pure aesthetics, tastefully arranged. A freestanding bathtub for two epitomizes modern luxury and wellness. Placed right in the center of the bathroom, it’s a truly unique eye-catcher.
Rectangular bathtubs for two people
Classic rectangular bathtubs for two people come in a variety of styles. Most are large bathtubs in which two people can sit facing each other. However, there are also extra-wide rectangular bathtubs in which two people can sit side by side instead.
Trapezoidal bathtubs for two people
Trapezoidal bathtubs stand out for their striking design and make smart use of available space. Thanks to their design, they allow two people to lie side by side comfortably, even in smaller bathrooms.
Round bathtubs for two people
Round Duo bathtubs stand out for their high-quality appearance and distinctive shape. As freestanding models, they promise the utmost comfort and maximum relaxation.
Oval bathtubs for two people

Types of Double Bathtubs
Depending on the shape of the tub, there are either two backrests facing each other or side by side. In some cases, there is a single sloped backrest that is wide enough to allow two people to sit side by side. In bathtubs designed for two people, the drain is located in the center so that both users can enjoy full comfort while reclining. Trapezoidal or pentagonal bathtubs, in particular, are often purchased with the intention of being used by two people. Our Paiova series also takes its name from “Paio,” which means “couple” in Italian.
The required size of a double bathtub depends on the height of the bathers and the layout of the bathroom. The length of the bathtub corresponds to the distance from the hips to the feet. The tub height can be determined based on the length of the upper body. However, these measurements may vary depending on the angle of the backrest. The water capacity is directly related to the size of the bathtub. The larger the interior of the bathtub, the more water the model can hold.

Ideas for a fun bath time for two
Thanks to some well-deserved downtime, you can relax and unwind in modern two-person bathtubs and enjoy your time together.
Water temperature and bathing time
At temperatures of 40 degrees Celsius or higher, the water in a bathtub for two people can put a strain on the circulatory system and dry out the skin, causing it to lose oil and moisture. We therefore recommend a water temperature of 36 to 38 degrees Celsius and a maximum soak time of 20 minutes so you can both recharge your batteries together.
Bath products
Bath products are a great way to enhance a relaxing bath experience. For tubs with a whirlpool function, there are special products that do not foam and are free of oily ingredients, so they do not damage the jets or the pipes. Fragrant scents can clear the airways and enchant the senses during a bath. Bath oils nourish the skin and moisturize it thanks to the essential oils they contain.
Music and candles
Wellness for all the senses: Music and the warm glow of candlelight reflecting on the water have a calming effect and can enhance your sense of well-being. Just let your thoughts drift away to your favorite music and relax together in the two-person bathtub.
