Double bathtubs

A relaxing bubble bath by romantic candlelight with a glass of wine and your special someone? Not only does this promise a wonderful experience for two, but it also brings you closer through the intimacy of the moment. With bathtubs designed for two, you can forget the stresses of everyday life and unwind together.

Key points at a glance:

  • Choosing the right bathtub shape: Rectangular, oval, or trapezoidal bathtubs offer different levels of comfort for relaxing baths for two.
  • Look for comfort and size: Double bathtubs 180 cm or larger, along with center drains and ergonomic backrests, enhance comfort while soaking.
  • Enhance your wellness experience: candles, music, bath products, or whirlpool features make sharing a bath even more relaxing.

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.

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.

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.

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.
