The Ella Ultimate is the sit-down walk-in tub built to the standard bathtub footprint of 30 inches wide by 60 inches long. It uses the stainless steel inward-swing door and can be ordered with air massage, hydro massage and independent hydro foot massage together. The LayDown 30 by 60 is the other model at that footprint, designed for reclined bathing with a glass side door. The Elite, by contrast, is 30 inches by 52 inches, and the Petite is 27.5 inches by 52 inches, so if you want a tub that fills a 60-inch opening on its own, the Ultimate or the LayDown 30 by 60 are the models to look at.

Ella Models by Length

Most Ella walk-in tubs are shorter than a standard bathtub because you sit rather than lie down, and the shorter models ship with an extension panel to fill a longer alcove. A few models are built to the full standard length or longer.

  1. Shorter than 60 inches: the Petite (27.5 by 52 inches, marketed as 28 inches wide), the Elite (30 by 52 inches), and the Flow (28 by 48 inches), among others.
  2. 60 inches: the Ultimate (30 by 60 inches, inward-swing door) and the LayDown 30 by 60 (glass side door, reclined bathing).
  3. Longer than 60 inches: the Big4One at 66 inches, the LayDown 32 by 72, and the two-seat models, which run 72 inches and longer.

Exact exterior dimensions, seat widths and door types for every model are listed in walk-in tub dimensions by model. Always confirm against the current spec sheet for the model you are considering.

Do You Actually Need a 60-Inch Tub?

Replacing a standard 30 by 60 tub does not require a 60-inch walk-in tub. Because you are seated, a 52-inch model such as the Elite gives most bathers plenty of room, and the extension panel that ships with it fills the remaining space in a 60-inch alcove installation. The team's advice is to choose by the bather rather than the opening: a shorter bather may be perfectly comfortable in a 52-inch tub, while a taller or broader bather benefits from the extra length of the Ultimate. Seat sizes and soaking depth explains how to measure yourself, and common fit questions covers other fit and measuring topics.

Sit-Down or LayDown at 60 Inches

The Ultimate and the LayDown 30 by 60 share a footprint but suit very different bathers. The Ultimate is a seated tub with room for three therapy systems and an optional heated seat and backrest. The LayDown is for bathers who specifically want to recline. Its equipment sits behind the backrest, so only one therapy system fits. The LayDown 30 by 60 also has no factory faucet option and needs a customer-supplied faucet, typically wall-mounted, while the larger LayDown 32 by 72 offers optional Ella deck-mount fast-fill faucets at order time. If you want the fullest set of jets in a 60-inch footprint, the Ultimate is the one to choose.

Fitting a 60-Inch Model

A 60-inch tub uses the entire length of a standard opening and does not include an extension panel, so measure the opening wall to wall and confirm it is a true 60 inches. Remember that the door and the drains are on opposite sides of an Ella tub: a right-side door puts the drains on the left, and a left-side door puts them on the right, as you face the tub. Pick the door side that puts the drains where your house drain is. If you choose a shorter model instead, note that the extension panel never attaches on the faucet side. Your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850 can send the spec sheet for any model so you can compare exact dimensions before you order.

Do I need a 60-inch tub to replace my standard tub?
Not necessarily. Shorter models ship with an extension panel that fills a 60-inch opening, and since you sit in the tub, a 52-inch model fits most bathers comfortably. Choose by bather height and build rather than by the opening alone.

Ella offers several models that are longer than 60 inches. The Big4One is 66 inches long, the LayDown 32 by 72 is 72 inches long, and the two-seat models are also 72 inches and longer. For exact exterior dimensions, seat widths, and door types for every model, you should check the walk-in tub dimensions by model article and the current spec sheet for the model you are considering.
Does a 60-inch tub include an extension panel?
No, a 60-inch Ella walk-in tub does not include an extension panel. Models like the Ella Ultimate or the LayDown 30 by 60 are built to the full standard length of 60 inches and fill a standard 60-inch opening on their own. You should measure the opening wall to wall to confirm it is a true 60 inches before ordering a 60-inch model.
