The Ella Lounger walk-in tub is the narrow tub for taller bathers who do not have a wide space: actual size 27 inches wide by 59 inches long by 40 inches high (27 x 60 nominal; the video gives 26 3/4 inches wide), a 20 inch seat, and 85 gallons unoccupied (45 to 65 occupied). Instead of width it adds length, with nearly 51 inches of interior and a reclined seat, behind an outward-swing U-shape door.

How a Narrow Tub Fits a Tall Person

Instead of width the Lounger adds length: nearly 51 inches of interior, a seat about 20 inches long, 21.5 inches of shoulder width, and a 15.5 inch soaking depth. The team recommends it, along with the Ultimate, for bathers around 6 ft tall; the seat size and soaking depth guide shows how to measure yourself against the drawing.

  • Actual 27 x 59 x 40 in; crate 30 x 62 x 49 in; net 215 lb, shipping 365 lb.
  • White composite and tempered glass U-door, 3-latch lock, 165 degree swing needing 21 in of clearance. The team notes the door begins about 28 3/4 in from the wall, which helps beside a toilet; see the outward door swing clearance article.
  • Extension panel available for 60 in alcoves; reversible end panel and wall grab bar included.

Packages, Jets, Controls

  • Hydro: 17 jets (11 seat, 4 foot, 2 calf), 7A 900W pump, ozone, in-line heater 6A 800W.

Faucet, Drains, Electrical

2-piece fast-fill faucet (up to 16 GPM) in chrome or brushed nickel with 5 ft supply lines (one video also mentions a 5-piece choice); dual 2 in 4-port T-type drains (use two or four ports and cap the rest); dedicated GFCI 110/120V 60Hz service, with the circuit count depending on the package as shown in the electrical requirements guide.

Watch the Lounger

The video covers the 20 inch seat, 21.5 inch shoulder width, roughly 20 inch seat length, nearly 51 inch interior, 15.5 inch soaking depth, 21 inch outswing clearance, hydro with foot and calf jets, and the 2-piece faucet.
This overview gives the 26 3/4 inch width and roughly 60 inch length and shows the 3-latch door, dual 4-port drains, dedicated GFCI power, 5 ft supply lines, and the chrome or brushed nickel 2-piece faucet.

Lounger Versus the Ultimate and the LayDown

The Ultimate is the other tub the team suggests for bathers around 6 feet: it is 30 inches wide with a stainless inward door and independent foot massage standard, so it suits a wider space with no swing clearance. The LayDown tubs have no seat at all and are the choice for lying flat. The Lounger is the narrow, seated middle ground, and the outward U-door family video tour places it beside the Capri, Monaco and Big4One.

Common Questions

Does the Lounger offer hydrogen therapy?
No, hydrogen is offered only on the Standard60.
How tall is the Lounger?
About 40 inches to the top of the deck.
Is the Lounger a lay-down tub?
No. The Lounger has a door and a seat with a long 20 by 16 inch footwell for taller bathers, while LayDown tubs have no seat.
Will it fit through a 27 or 28 inch doorway?
The shell is 27 inches wide (26 3/4 in the video), so the opening must be wider than that with the side panels removed; the crate is 30 inches wide and can be opened outside. Use the doorway measurement guide for every turn along the route.
Is it right for a 6 ft 1 bather with 22 inch shoulders?
The Lounger is built for bathers around 6 feet, with 21.5 inches of shoulder width at the backrest and a 20 inch seat, so a 22 inch shoulder measurement is at the edge of the fit. Measure seated against the drawing, and ask the team, who may suggest the Ultimate or Big4One for broader shoulders.
Can I get independent foot massage on the Lounger?
Yes, Hydro + Independent Foot is a listed package with two pumps and two dials. Adding air to that combination is a special order.
Is a 60 gallon water heater enough?
The Lounger holds 85 gallons empty and 45 to 65 with a bather. The team recommends 75 gallons or larger for a comfortable fill; see the water heater guide.
Does it fill a 60 inch alcove?
Yes, with the extension panel available for the Lounger plus the included reversible end panel.
