Walk-in tub dimensions by model: exterior sizes, seat widths, and door types
Updated September 2026
Walk-in tub dimensions by model matter because every Ella walk-in tub is built on one of a few door platforms, and each model has its own exact exterior size and seat width. The quick answer: our tubs range from the compact Mobile at 26" wide by 45" long, up to the bariatric ShaK at 36" wide by 72" long, with seat widths from 19" to 29". The tables below give the exact factory dimensions for every family so you can match a model to your bathroom and your body.
Inward-Swing Acrylic Door Models
| Model | Actual size (W x L x H) | Seat (W x L) | Door |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 29 5/8" x 52 3/4" x 37.5" | 22" x 18" | Inward acrylic S-shape |
| Standard60 | 29.53" x 59.84" x 38" | 21" x 20.1" | Inward acrylic S-shape |
| Zen | 29 1/2" x 52" x 37.5" | 20" x 15" | Inward acrylic S-shape (same door as Standard) |
| Zen60 | 29 1/2" x 59 1/2" x 37.5" | 21" x 17" | Inward acrylic S-shape (same door as Standard) |
| Flow | 28" x 48" x 36.5" | 20" x 13" | Inward acrylic S-shape |
A note for Zen owners: the Zen and Zen60 spec sheet PDFs contain a known "U-shape" misprint. The Zen door is the S-shape inward acrylic design shared with the Standard; U-shape refers to Ella's outward-swing composite door family, which the Zen is not part of. See which door does my Ella tub have.
Inward-Swing Stainless Steel and Glass Door Models
These models use a brushed stainless steel frame with frosted tempered glass, and the door is removable for cleaning.
| Model | Actual size | Seat width |
|---|---|---|
| Elite | 30" x 52" x 35" | 22" |
| Petite | 27.5" x 52" x 35" | 19" |
| Royal | 31.5" x 52" x 35" | 23" |
| Deluxe | 29.5" x 55" x 39" | 21" |
| Ultimate | 29.625" x 59.50" x 35.75" | 21" |
| Ultra (aluminum frame, frosted glass) | 29.5" x 52.125" x 40" | 22" |
The Petite is marketed as 28" x 52" nominal; its actual size is 27.5" x 52" x 35" per the current spec sheet. A 27" figure printed in one older manual table is a misprint and should not be used for planning.

A Note on Nominal Versus Actual Sizes
Product names and brochures use rounded nominal sizes (for example, Petite is marketed as 28" wide while its actual exterior width is 27.5"). Always plan your installation around the actual size on the spec sheet, which you can download from the Downloads tab on each product page; manuals, spec sheets and drawings by model shows where to find each one. For Monaco and Mobile, please use the live product page for water capacity and weight, since the printed spec header on those two sheets is image only. Once you have the size, check the route into the house with the doorway measuring guide and the opening with alcove fit and extension panels.

Common Questions
Is a 60 inch tub exactly 60 inches?
No. Product names use rounded nominal sizes, so the Ultimate is 59.5 inches long, the Zen60 is 59.5 inches and the LayDown60 is 59 3/4 inches, which means a 60 inch tub fits a 59.5 inch space. The Standard60 is 59.84 inches and the Transfer60 is a full 60 inches, so please plan around the actual size on the spec sheet for your model rather than the name.
Are the listed dimensions exterior or interior?
Exterior. The sizes in these tables are the actual outside width, length and height of each tub, which is what you need for planning the alcove and the route into the house. Interior length, seat length and soaking depth for every model are in interior dimensions and soaking depth by model.
How tall are the tubs?
Most models stand about 40 inches high. The stainless-door 52 inch tubs, the Elite, Petite and Royal, are 35 inches, the Standard family is about 37.5 to 38 inches, and the Deluxe, ShaK and Big4One are about 39 to 39.5 inches. The LayDown tubs are 21 inches at the rim, with the back height listed separately in the table above.
What is the smallest and the largest tub?
The Mobile at 26" x 45" is the smallest tub in the line, and the Big4Two at 36" x 80" is the largest overall. Among single-seat tubs, the ShaK at 36" x 72" is the largest, with a 28 inch seat. Seat widths across the line run from 19 inches on the Petite and Transfer26 up to 29 inches on the TransferXXL.
Do the dimensions change for a left-hand or right-hand tub?
No. The spec sheet applies to both hands, because a left-hand and a right-hand tub share the same measurements mirrored, so the exterior size, seat width and door swing are identical. What changes is the side the door opens from, so please confirm the hand you need when planning the alcove and the door swing clearance.
What lengths are Ella walk-in tubs available in?
Across the line the lengths are 40, 45, 48, 52, 55, 59, 60, 66, 72 and 80 inches, in widths from 26 to 36 inches. Those are nominal figures, so the actual size in the tables above is the one to plan around. If your alcove is longer than the tub, an extension panel is available for many of the 52 and 55 inch models to fill a 60 inch alcove, as explained in the alcove fit and extension panels article.
Where is the water capacity and weight for each model?
Water capacity and weight are kept in two dedicated guides, the water capacity guide and the weight guide, both drawn from the current spec sheets. For the Monaco and Mobile, please use the live product page for those figures, since the printed spec header on those two sheets is image only.
Can I get dimensioned CAD drawings?
Each product page has a Drawings button that opens a dimensioned PDF, and the Downloads tab on the same page holds the spec sheet and manual. Those PDFs are the published format for dimensions and installation details. If you need another format, open a ticket at ellasbubbles.com/support with the model, and the team will tell you what is available.
Does Ella's Bubbles offer custom-sized walk-in tubs for unusual bathroom layouts?
Ella's Bubbles does not offer custom-sized walk-in tubs. Each model is built on one of the standard door platforms and sizes listed in the tables above, so the best approach is to match your bathroom to the closest model's actual size. If your alcove is longer than the tub you choose, an extension panel is available for many of the 52 and 55 inch models to help fill the space.
Is there a Transfer XXXL model separate from the TransferXXL in the lineup?
The correct model name is TransferXXL, and there is no separate "XXXL" model in the Ella's Bubbles lineup. A misprint on one schematic and in one spec sheet title reads "XXXL," but both documents describe the same TransferXXL tub, which measures 36 inches wide by 55 inches long with a 29 inch seat. Please use the TransferXXL figures from the tables above for planning.
Is the Ella Elite's actual width 30 inches or 29 3/4 inches?
The Elite's actual exterior size is 30 inches wide by 52 inches long by 35 inches high, per the current spec sheet. An older figure of 29 3/4 inches appears in some doorway-measuring videos, but that number has been superseded. Plan your doorway and alcove measurements around the current 30 inch width.
Do any Ella walk-in tubs come with a molded seat instead of a separate seat?
Yes, several Ella walk-in tub models are built with a molded seat rather than a separate seat piece. A molded seat measures either 15 inches or 17 inches tall, depending on the model. Please confirm which height applies to your specific model before planning your transfer height.
Do the lay-down tub models have a seat, or a flat bottom?
The lay-down tub models have an all-flat bottom rather than a molded or separate seat, since bathers lie down instead of sitting. This flat-floor design differs from the seated models covered in the tables above. The LayDown60 and LayDown72 interior floor dimensions are listed above for planning your fit.
Where is the door located on the 30 by 60 inch lay-down tub?
The 30 inch by 60 inch lay-down tub, the LayDown60, has its inward-swing door centered on the tub rather than set off to one side. The distance from the door to the drain on this model is 21 and three-quarters inches. This tub is also available in a soaking package, though soaking packages do not include jets.
How many different walk-in tub models does Ella's Bubbles offer?
Ella's Bubbles offers over 20 different walk-in tub models, built across inward-swing, outward-swing, stainless-and-glass, and wheelchair-accessible transfer door platforms. Each model has its own exact exterior size and seat width, as detailed in the tables above. This wide range lets you match a model to your bathroom size and mobility needs.
What are the dimensions and door type of the Ella LF Low tub model?
The Ella LF Low model has an actual exterior size of 28 inches wide by 48 inches long. It is built exclusively with an inward-swinging door, unlike some other Ella models that also offer an outward-swing option. This model is separate from the Standard, Zen, and other 52 inch tubs listed in the tables above.
How much clearance does the Ella Capri tub typically have for installation?
The Ella Capri walk-in tub typically has approximately 3 inches of wiggle room at the back of the tub and about 4 inches of clearance at the door end. This extra space can help when fitting the tub into an alcove during installation. Plan around the Capri's actual exterior size of 30 inches by 52 inches by 40 inches listed above when confirming this clearance for your bathroom.
Is the faucet located on the same side as the walk-in tub door?
Yes, on Ella walk-in tubs the faucet and other plumbing fixtures are typically installed on the same side as the door. Ella's Bubbles tubs also use flexible pipes for the plumbing connections, which allows some adjustment during installation. Confirm the exact fixture placement for your specific model with your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850.
Does the Ella 362 model include hydro massage jets and a left-hand drain option?
Yes, the Ella 362 model includes a hydro massage jet system. It can also be configured with a left-hand drain. Confirm current configuration options for this model with your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850.
Can the tub specifications help with planning outlet placement for new construction?
Yes, the exterior dimensions and spec sheets for each model can help you and your electrician determine the size and placement of outlets when planning new construction. Match your chosen model's actual dimensions from the tables above to your new bathroom layout. Downloading the dimensioned drawing and spec sheet from the Downloads tab on each product page gives you the exact figures needed for that planning.
How many drains does the Ella Standard walk-in tub have?
The Ella Standard has one 2 inch gravity floor drain with an overflow and an emergency pull-up chain. The T-type four-port language that appears on some spec sheets describes the drain body located under the tub, which lets your installer connect the house drain line from either direction with caps on the unused ports. This means the tub itself operates with a single drain opening rather than multiple separate drains.
Can I lie down and stretch out in a seated Ella walk-in tub?
No, the seated Ella walk-in tub models are built for sitting and soaking rather than lying down and stretching out. If you want a lay-down experience, the LayDown60 and LayDown72 models have an all-flat bottom designed specifically for reclining. Check the actual size and interior floor dimensions for those two models in the tables above to see if one fits your space.
How tall are the wheelchair accessible walk-in tub models?
All of Ella's wheelchair accessible Transfer models, including the Transfer26, Transfer30, Transfer32, Transfer60 and TransferXXL, stand a consistent 40 inches tall. This uniform height simplifies planning across the transfer tub lineup. Check the actual width and length for your specific Transfer model in the tables above, since those vary by model.
Is there an Ella walk-in tub that fits in a 54 inch by 3 foot space?
Yes, several Ella models fit within a 54 inch long by 36 inch wide footprint, including the Standard, Zen, Elite, Petite, Royal, and Capri, each of which measures 52 inches or less in length and no more than 32 inches wide. Always confirm the actual exterior size on the current spec sheet for your chosen model before finalizing your alcove plan.
Does Ella's Bubbles make a 32 by 55 inch outward-swing walk-in tub?
No, there is no exact 32 inch by 55 inch outward-swing model in the Ella's Bubbles lineup. The closest outward-swing sizes are the Monaco at 32 inches by 52 inches and the Big4One at about 33 inches by 66 inches, so compare the actual sizes in the tables above to find the closest match for your space.
Which side are the tub drains located on relative to the door?
The drains sit on the opposite side of the tub from the door, so a right-side door tub has its drains on the left and a left-side door tub has its drains on the right, as you face the tub. Plan your plumbing rough-in around this opposite-side layout for your chosen model.
Is the outward-swing door on models like the Capri or ShaK made of stainless steel?
No, the outward-swing U-shape door family, which includes the Capri, Monaco, Front Entry, Mobile, Lounger, ShaK and Big4One, uses a door made of PVC composite material paired with tempered glass and a 3-latch gear and shaft mechanism. This is different from the stainless-steel frame used on the inward-swing family, such as the Elite and Royal. A stainless-steel description that appears in one outward-swing family manual is a known carryover error from the inward-swing manual and should not be used for these models.
Will an installer need to visit my home to confirm a walk-in tub fits in a small bathroom?
In some cases, yes, particularly with small or unusually shaped bathrooms, since not every alcove matches the nominal size printed on a tub's model name and the tub also needs enough room to be maneuvered into place. Comparing the actual exterior dimensions in the tables above against your doorway and alcove measurements is a good first step. For a hands-on assessment of a tight space, your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850 can help confirm fit.
What is the model number for the Ella Capri walk-in tub?
The Ella Capri walk-in tub is identified by the model number K113. The Capri is part of the outward-swing U-shape door family, with an actual exterior size of 30 inches by 52 inches by 40 inches. You can reference this model number when discussing the tub with your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850.
What is the model number for the Ella Transfer 30 walk-in tub?
The Ella Transfer 30 walk-in tub is identified by the model number K201. The Transfer30 belongs to the wheelchair transfer, L-shape outward-door family, with an actual exterior size of 30 inches by 52 inches by 40 inches and a 22 inch seat. Your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850 can confirm current configuration details.
How deep is the inside of the 60 by 30 inch lay-down tub?
The 60 inch by 30 inch lay-down tub, the LayDown60, has an inside depth of 14.75 inches to the overflow. This model has an interior floor measuring 46 inches by 20 inches, as listed in the dimensions table above. Plan around this depth when evaluating whether the LayDown60 fits your bathing needs.
Are Ella's Bubbles walk-in tubs made of acrylic?
Yes, Ella's Bubbles walk-in tubs are made of acrylic. Some models pair the acrylic tub shell with an inward-swing acrylic door, while others use a brushed stainless steel frame with frosted tempered glass for the door instead. Either way, the tub body itself is acrylic construction.
Can customers visit an Ella's Bubbles facility to try out tubs before deciding?
Yes, Ella's Bubbles offers facility visits so you can try different walk-in tub models firsthand before making a decision. This lets you test seat comfort, door type and overall fit in person rather than relying on spec sheets alone. Contact your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850 to arrange a visit.
What size is the Ella Cup Free walk-in tub model?
The Ella Cup Free walk-in tub is available in a 30 inch by 52 inch size. This places it in the same general size range as other 52 inch models in the Ella lineup. Confirm the full specifications for this model with your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850.
What size is generally considered the standard walk-in tub from Ella's Bubbles?
The size most commonly referred to as standard is 30 inches wide by 52 inches long, which matches the nominal size of the Standard and Elite models. Other frequently referenced nominal sizes include 32x52, 28x52, 30x60, and 30x55 inches, corresponding to the Royal, Petite, Standard60, and Deluxe models. These are rounded nominal figures, so always confirm the actual exterior size for your specific model in the tables above before planning your installation.
What material is the outward-swing door made of on U-shape models like the Capri and Monaco?
The outward-swing U-shape door used on the Capri, Monaco, Front Entry, Mobile, Lounger, ShaK, and Big4One models is made of a durable plastic composite paired with tempered glass, and it opens with a three-latch gear-and-shaft mechanism. This is different from the stainless steel inward-swing door used on models like the Elite and Royal. If you see stainless steel referenced for one of these outward-swing models in older documentation, that reference is a printing error and does not apply to this door family.
Does the LayDown60 tub come with a faucet included?
No, the LayDown60 does not include a factory faucet and has no faucet option at all, so it requires a faucet that is already in place or supplied separately. The LayDown72, by contrast, is faucet ready and can be ordered with an optional Ella deck mount fast fill faucet in a 2 piece or 5 piece configuration, or with no faucet at all. Please confirm your model and preferred configuration with your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850.
How long is the seat on the Ella Big4One walk-in tub?
The Big4One's seat measures 21 inches long, in addition to the seat width listed for this model in the tables above. This seat length is part of the tub's overall interior layout, which is built on the outward-swing U-shape door platform. Please refer to the actual exterior size of 33 1/8 inches by 66 inches by 39.5 inches when planning your installation.
What doorway clearance is typically needed to install the 36 by 55 inch TransferXXL tub?
For the TransferXXL, which measures 36 inches wide by 55 inches long with a 29 inch seat, a doorway clearance of at least 36 to 37 inches wide is typically needed to move the tub into place. This is wider than many household doorways, so measuring ahead of time helps confirm a smooth installation. Confirm the exact clearance for your home with your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850.
How wide are standard household doorways typically?
Standard household doorways are typically about 29 to 30 inches wide. Since some Ella tub models need more clearance than that to pass through, it is worth measuring your doorway before finalizing your order, especially for wider models like the TransferXXL. Your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850 can help you confirm whether your doorway will accommodate a specific model.
Does the 30 by 60 inch lay-down tub include a faucet?
The 30 inch by 60 inch lay-down tub, known as the LayDown60, does not include a faucet as part of its standard build. This model has an inward-swing door centered on the tub, with the distance from the door to the drain being 21 and three-quarters inches. Please confirm faucet and fixture options for the LayDown60 with your Ella dealer or the Ella's Bubbles team.
Which Ella's Bubbles walk-in tub models are the widest at 36 inches?
Several models share the widest exterior width in the line at 36 inches, including the ShaK, the Big4Two, the Escape, and the TransferXXL. Since these are actual exterior widths, please plan your alcove around the specific spec sheet for whichever of these models you are considering.
Do Ella's Bubbles walk-in tubs come standard with a 2 inch drain?
The inward-swing stainless steel and glass door family, which includes models like the Elite, Petite, and Royal, features dual oversized 2 inch 4-port T-type drains. Drain specifications can vary by model and door platform, so please confirm the drain type for your specific tub with your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850.
I am replacing a garden tub, so which Ella walk-in tubs will fill that larger space?
If you are filling a garden tub footprint, look at the longer models rather than the 52 inch tubs. The 60 inch options include the Ultimate, Zen60, Standard60 and Transfer60, plus the 32 inch by 60 inch two-seat Tub4Two and Companion, and the ShaK, Escape and Big4Two run 72 to 80 inches long. If a gap still remains between the tub and the wall, filler or extension panels are available for many models to close it, so share your alcove measurements with your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850 to match the best fit.
Is a lay-down tub available in a 32 by 60 inch size?
No, Ella's Bubbles offers lay-down tubs in two sizes, 30 by 60 inches and 32 by 72 inches, and there is no 32 by 60 inch lay-down model. If your space is a standard 60 inch alcove, the 30 by 60 inch LayDown60 is the lay-down option to plan around. The 32 by 72 inch LayDown72 needs a longer and wider space than a standard bathtub alcove, so please measure before choosing.
Will a walk-in tub fit in the space where my standard bathtub is now?
A standard bathtub is typically 30 by 60 inches, and a standard alcove measures about 59 to 60 inches long. Many Ella models are built to fit that footprint, including the 60 inch nominal tubs, and many 52 and 55 inch models can be paired with an extension panel to fill the space. Before choosing a model, measure the alcove your existing tub sits in and compare it to the actual size in the tables above, since your old tub must be removed and the new one must fit the same opening.
Is a 32 by 72 inch tub bigger than a standard bathtub?
Yes, a 32 by 72 inch tub is both longer and wider than a standard 30 by 60 inch bathtub, so it needs more space than a typical alcove offers. If you are replacing a standard tub, confirm you have the extra length and width available before selecting a 72 inch model. Your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850 can help you compare your measurements to the actual size of the model you are considering.
How much width do I need to install a Big4One walk-in tub?
The Big4One measures about 33 inches wide, and you should plan for approximately 53 inches of total width to fit both the tub and its door opening. The door opening itself needs roughly 20 inches of clearance in addition to the tub's own width. Plan around this figure, along with the Big4One's full actual size of 33 1/8" x 66" x 39.5" listed in the tables above, when confirming your bathroom can accommodate this model.
What information should I share to help pick the right tub size?
To help narrow down the right walk-in tub model for your space, share the height and weight of the biggest person who will use the tub. That information, together with your available bathroom space and door side preference, helps match you to the closest model's actual size. See the guide on narrowing down an Ella walk-in tub by space, door side, and therapy for more detail on this process.
Does the LayDown60 walk-in tub come with a faucet included?
No, the LayDown60 does not include a factory faucet and has no faucet option at all. This 30 by 60 inch model requires a pre-existing or customer-supplied faucet, typically a wall-mounted style, to fill the tub. Please plan your bathroom's existing plumbing accordingly when choosing this model.
Can the LayDown72 tub be ordered with a faucet?
Yes, the LayDown72 is faucet-ready and offers optional Ella deck-mount fast-fill faucets at the time of order, in No Faucet, 2-piece, or 5-piece choices. This is different from the LayDown60, which has no faucet option and always needs a customer-supplied faucet. Please confirm which lay-down size and faucet configuration you have when planning your installation.
Is the Ella Ultra tub 53 inches long or 52 inches long?
The Ultra's actual exterior size is 52.125 inches long, not 53 inches, per the current spec sheet listed in the tables above. Please plan your doorway and alcove measurements around the 52 inch figure rather than 53 inches.
Why should I measure my hips and shoulders when choosing a tub model?
Measuring your hips and shoulders alongside your doorway helps you match your body comfortably to a model's seat width, since seat widths across the line range from 19 inches on the Petite and Transfer26 up to 29 inches on the TransferXXL. Pairing these measurements with the doorway measuring guide helps confirm both a comfortable fit inside the tub and a clear path into the bathroom. Always check the actual exterior and seat dimensions on the model's spec sheet before deciding.
Does Ella's Bubbles require someone present for curbside delivery of a tub?
Yes, Ella's Bubbles tubs ship via curbside delivery, so either you or your installer needs to be present to receive the tub. Having someone on hand lets you inspect the tub on arrival before installation begins. For help coordinating delivery and installation, reach out to your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850.
Is there a shorter walk-in tub for those worried their feet won't reach in a 60 inch tub?
Yes, several Ella models come in shorter lengths for bathers who prefer a shorter tub. The Deluxe measures 55 inches long, and the line also includes 52, 48 and 45 inch models such as the Standard, Flow and LF Low. Check the seat and actual exterior length in the tables above to find a length that suits your reach comfortably.
Does the Ella Deluxe walk-in tub come with a foot massage feature?
The Deluxe is part of Ella's inward-swing stainless steel and glass door family, and an independent foot massage is available as a feature on tubs in that family. Since it is an added option, confirm with your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850 whether foot massage is included with your specific tub. The Deluxe's actual exterior size is 29.5 inches by 55 inches by 39 inches, as listed in the tables above.
Should I choose a walk-in tub by its seat size?
Yes, the seat size is the best guide when choosing a tub. Seat widths across the Ella line run from 19 inches on the Petite and Transfer26 up to 29 inches on the TransferXXL. Match the seat width to your body first, then check the exterior size in the tables above against your bathroom.
How do I measure myself for a transfer tub seat width?
Sit in a firm chair and measure across the widest point where your body meets the chair. Then add a couple of inches to that number for the most comfortable seat width. Compare the result with the Transfer model seat widths in the table above, which run from 19 inches on the Transfer26 to 29 inches on the TransferXXL.
Can moving a door frame help a walk-in tub fit?
Yes, moving a door frame can gain a couple of inches, which can help when a tub is close to the size of your doorway or opening. Please check the actual exterior size of your model in the tables above against your measurements. The doorway measuring guide walks through the route into the house.
Does Ella's Bubbles offer tubs in 30 inch and 32 inch widths?
Yes, Ella's Bubbles offers tubs in both 30 inch and 32 inch widths. Models such as the Elite, Capri and Transfer30 are 30 inches wide, while the Monaco, Front Entry, Transfer32, Tub4Two and Companion are 32 inches wide. Please plan around the actual size listed for your model in the tables above.
How big is the extension panel for the tub surround, and can it be trimmed?
The extension panel for the tub surround is 4 inches, and it can be trimmed to fit your space. It is available for many of the 52 and 55 inch models to help fill a longer alcove. Your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850 can confirm which panel goes with your model.
What are the shipping box dimensions of the Big4One tub?
The Big4One tub box measures approximately 36 inches wide, 49 inches high and 69 inches long. Use these box sizes along with the tub's own 33 1/8 inch by 66 inch exterior size when you check the route into your home. The doorway measuring guide can help you confirm the path.
Who is the Big4One walk-in tub recommended for?
The Big4One, at 33 1/8 inches by 66 inches, is recommended for bathers who are about 6 feet tall and 300 to 350 pounds and above. It has a 24 inch wide seat, so there is plenty of room to sit comfortably. Your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850 can help you match a model to your body and your bathroom.
Is the Petite the smallest walk-in tub Ella's Bubbles offers?
The Petite is one of the most compact models, but the Mobile is smaller at 26" x 45" (brochure size). The Petite is marketed as 28" x 52", and its actual size is 27.5" x 52" x 35" per the current spec sheet. It has an inward-swing door and a 19" seat, the same seat width as the Transfer26.
Which Ella walk-in tubs are made for someone who prefers to lie down?
The LayDown60 and LayDown72 are made for bathers who like to lie back rather than sit up. The LayDown60 measures 60"L x 30"W x 21"H with a 46" x 20" interior floor, and the LayDown72 measures 71 3/4"L x 32"W with a 56" x 22 1/2" interior floor. Both have an inward tempered glass door and a flat bottom. Your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850 can help you choose between them.
How many walk-in tub models and variations does Ella's Bubbles offer?
Ella's Bubbles offers 32 different walk-in tub models and 484 different variations. Each model has its own exact exterior size and seat width, so the tables above are the best place to start when matching a tub to your bathroom. Your Ella dealer can help you narrow down the right variation.
