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.

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, the Ella Lounger walk-in tub does not offer hydrogen therapy. Hydrogen therapy is exclusively available on the Ella Standard60 walk-in tub model.
How tall is the Lounger?
The Ella Lounger walk-in tub is about 40 inches tall to the top of its deck. Its actual dimensions are 27 inches wide by 59 inches long by 40 inches high.
Is the Lounger a lay-down tub?
No, the Ella Lounger is not a lay-down tub. The Lounger walk-in tub features an outward-swing U-shape door and a reclined seat with a long 20 by 16 inch footwell, designed for taller bathers to stretch out. LayDown tubs, in contrast, have no seat at all and are intended for lying flat.
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, you can get independent foot massage on the Ella Lounger walk-in tub. The Hydro + Independent Foot package is available, which includes two pumps and two dials for separate control. Adding air massage to this combination (Hydro + Air + Independent Foot) is a special order that needs to be confirmed by the team.
Is a 60 gallon water heater enough?
A 60-gallon water heater may not be enough for the Ella Lounger walk-in tub. The Lounger holds 85 gallons when empty and between 45 to 65 gallons with a bather inside. The team recommends a 75-gallon water heater or larger for a comfortable fill; you can consult the water heater guide for more details.
Does it fill a 60 inch alcove?
Yes, the Ella Lounger walk-in tub will fit a 60-inch alcove. An extension panel is available specifically for the Lounger to accommodate 60-inch alcoves, and a reversible end panel is included with the tub.
