What are the exact dimensions of the LayDown60 and LayDown72 tubs?

The Ella LayDown60 has an actual size of 60 inches long by 30 inches wide by 21 inches high, with the technical drawing giving the overall length as 59 3/4 inches, an interior floor of 46 by 20 inches, a net weight of 160 lbs and a shipping crate of 63 by 33 by 29 inches. The LayDown72 is 32 inches wide by 72 inches long, drawn at 71 3/4 inches overall, with a 56 by 22 1/2 inch interior floor, and both tubs share the same 19 5/8 inch glass door opening. LayDown Tubs on Video: 30x60 and 32x72 Walkthroughs, the Glass Door, the Drain and Where the Controls Are shows both tubs on camera, and this page puts every published figure for the two models side by side.

LayDown60 Figures from the Spec Sheet

The LayDown60 spec sheet lists an actual size of 60 inches long, 30 inches wide and 21 inches high. The technical drawing refines the length to 59 3/4 inches overall, which is the normal rounding between a product name and a drawing, and 60 inches is still the size the tub is sold under. The side profile shows 25 3/4 inches at the back, where the backrest end rises above the rim, and an 8 5/8 inch step reference at the threshold. Inside, the flat floor measures 46 inches long by 20 inches wide, and the interior width at the end sections is drawn at 15 3/4 inches. There is no seat anywhere in that floor, which Does the LayDown Tub Have a Seat? Flat Bottom Design, Seat Figures on Listings, Faucets and Therapy Choices explains in detail.

• Net weight 160 lbs, shipping weight 220 lbs.
• Shipping size 63 inches long by 33 inches wide by 29 inches high.
• Door: tempered glass, inward swing, brushed-finish aluminum frame, 19 5/8 inch opening with a 16 1/2 inch glass panel, 115 degree swing arc and 20 1/4 inches of clearance.
• Drain: 2 inch brass drain with overflow. Frame: stainless steel with adjustable leveling legs.
• Faucet: not included. The LayDown60 has no faucet option and uses a pre-existing or new customer-supplied faucet, typically wall-mounted.

If an older brochure cover in your paperwork prints a shorter length for the 30x60, that is a known misprint. The spec sheet and the product page are the references, and 60 by 30 by 21 inches is the size to plan around.

LayDown72 Figures from the Drawings

The LayDown72 is listed as 32 inches wide by 72 inches long, and its drawings give the exact overall length as 71 3/4 inches with a full 32 inch width. The interior floor measures 56 inches by 22 1/2 inches, so it is 10 inches longer and 2 1/2 inches wider inside than the LayDown60. The back height is drawn at 27 7/8 inches, and the floor to overflow height is 16 inches, which is the depth of water the tub holds before the overflow takes it. The centered inward swing tempered glass door has the same 19 5/8 inch opening, 115 degree swing arc and 20 1/4 inches of clearance as the smaller tub, and the optional bi-fold glass screen spans 44 1/2 inches along the rim.

The LayDown72 spec sheet is dimensioned drawings only. Weight, shipping size and water capacity are not printed on it, so those cells below say not listed rather than a guess, and the team at (800) 480-6850 can confirm them for your order. Unlike the LayDown60, the LayDown72 is faucet-ready and offers optional Ella deck-mount faucets.

The Two Tubs Side by Side

The practical difference is two inches of width and twelve inches of length on the outside, and a noticeably longer and wider floor on the inside. If you are replacing a conventional 30 by 60 inch bathtub in a three-wall alcove, the LayDown60 drops into that footprint; the LayDown72 needs a 32 inch wide, 72 inch long space, so the LayDown60 figures do not apply to it and the alcove width has to be measured separately. Both tubs stand 21 inches tall, lower than any seated Ella walk-in tub, so the number to check above the tub is the height of a window sill, shelf or fixture rather than a tall tub wall. Laid-Down Walk-In Tub Dimensions and Fit walks through the alcove measurement itself.

The Door and the Optional Glass Screen

Both LayDown tubs use a tempered glass door in the side wall that swings inward, with a brushed-finish aluminum frame. The opening is 19 5/8 inches wide on both, the door travels through a 115 degree arc, and it needs 20 1/4 inches of clearance inside the tub to open fully, so nothing in the tub interferes with it. The LayDown60 drawing with the glass shower screen installed shows a 38 1/4 inch screen span made of 21 inch and 17 inch segments with a 1/4 inch gap, screen heights of 57 and 57 1/2 inches, and a 20 1/4 inch base depth, which is what a contractor needs to see whether a shower head and the screen clear the ceiling and the surrounding walls. On the LayDown72 the bi-fold screen spans 44 1/2 inches along the rim.

Getting the LayDown60 into the House

The LayDown60 ships in a crate measuring 63 inches long, 33 inches wide and 29 inches high and weighs 220 lbs crated, so before ordering it is worth measuring the front door, every hallway turn and the bathroom doorway against those three figures. The tub itself at 30 inches wide and 21 inches tall is smaller than the crate, so a tight turn is usually solved by uncrating closer to the bathroom. For the LayDown72 the crate size is not printed, so ask the team for it with your order and check the same route against the 32 inch tub width at minimum. Walk-In Tub and Shower Base Sizes and How to Measure for Fit covers measuring the doorway path for any Ella tub.

What Is Not Printed on the Sheets

The LayDown60 spec sheet leaves the unoccupied water capacity field blank, and the hydro massage jet count is also blank, while the air massage option is printed as 20 jets with a 3-speed pump and auto-purge. The LayDown72 sheet prints no weight, shipping size or capacity at all. None of those should be filled in from memory or from another model, so if any of them matters to your plumbing or floor planning, call (800) 480-6850 with the model and the team will read the current figures to you.
