History of Spa and Jacuzzi:
In the rhythm of modern life, where stress and tensions are often present, the search for relaxation and well-being occupies an increasingly significant place in
Are you looking for a spa and wondering which type would best suit your needs? In this guide, we will help you make a decision by presenting the differences between hard, semi-rigid, and inflatable spas. Each type of spa has its own advantages and unique features, and it is important to understand these differences to choose the one that best fits your expectations.
Inflatable SPAS are more affordable.
If you’re looking for a more affordable option, inflatable spas are an excellent choice. They are consistently less expensive than rigid spas due to their simpler and less constraining construction.
Inflatable spas come in a large box containing all the necessary parts. You just need to assemble them and fill them with water to enjoy your spa. In contrast, rigid spas often require the intervention of a professional for installation, incurring additional costs.
In terms of pricing, you can expect to pay an average of 400 to 1300 euros for an inflatable spa, depending on the quality, motorization, and design. For a rigid spa, the cost ranges from 4000 to over 15000 euros. The rigid spa will generally cost 10 times more than the inflatable spa.
Inflatable spas are easy to install and store.
One of the great advantages of inflatable spas is their ease of installation. You don’t need concrete or a special foundation to set them up. Once you receive your inflatable spa, you can immediately unpack it, assemble the various parts, and fill it with water. All of this can be done in less than a day, without requiring any special tools. Additionally, inflatable spas are easy to disassemble and store. If you move or simply want to store them for a certain period, you just need to deflate and fold them. They are lightweight and take up little space when stored. The inflatable spa can be set up in less than 10 minutes (watch our installation video at this link), and with its 30 kg all-inclusive weight (motor + spa + accessories), it can be transported and set up by almost anyone. For a rigid spa, plan for several hours of installation and the almost inevitable intervention of a professional. The same goes for transportation; the units are heavier and cannot be transported by a single person.
Rigid spas can be more durable
In terms of durability, rigid spas may have a certain advantage. They are typically made from robust materials such as acrylic reinforced with fiberglass, making them more resistant and durable over time.
Rigid spas are designed to be installed permanently, meaning they can withstand weather conditions and regular use. In contrast, inflatable spas can be damaged by sharp objects or animal claws. However, they are highly resistant to impacts, and their motor is easily replaceable in case of issues.
Rigid spas offer a better massage experience
On this point, there’s no comparison; at around 10,000 euros or more, a rigid spa can afford to offer the best of the best in terms of massage. Pulsating jets, massaging features, different programs… the rigid spa will be ideal if you’re looking for a high-quality massage experience. They are equipped with powerful water jets and advanced massage features, providing deep and therapeutic relaxation.
Rigid spas also offer a greater variety of jet configurations, allowing you to customize your massage experience based on your needs and preferences. In contrast, inflatable spas typically have fewer jets and provide a less intense massage experience.
The inflatable spa, on the other hand, generally offers a simple but sufficient and particularly enjoyable massage experience.
In terms of maintenance, inflatable spas are generally much easier to maintain than rigid spas
Similarly, when it comes to cleaning, an inflatable spa weighs only 15 to 20 kg. No problem to handle, flip it over, and move it once emptied.
Need to pressure wash it? Put it on its edge, press it against a wall, and clean the interior as you wish.
Need to change its location because the current one no longer suits you? It can be done easily as well (once emptied).
Are inflatable spas more aesthetic ?
We’re obviously going to promote our own cause on this one! If, until a few months ago, the competition could be tight between rigid spas and inflatable spas with interesting inflatable looks but still somewhat approximate (thick walls, poorly designed), the work done on Coco Spa convinces everyone.
The look of COCO SPA has pushed the limits of spa design with their thin walls and impeccable wood imitation print.
This technology allows us to mimic any wood essence and enhance it with a breathtaking design.
The possibilities are endless to embellish your terrace.
We admit, however, that nothing will replace the elegance and charm of a true wood Nordic “barrel” spa with an integrated stove heating system in the structure. But for those who don’t have 10,000 euros to invest, there’s Coco Spa.
In conclusion, the choice between a rigid, semi-rigid, and inflatable spa depends on your preferences, budget, and intended use. Inflatable spas are a more affordable and easy-to-install option, but they are less durable and offer a less intense massage experience. Their simplicity of daily use and their appearance to complement the terrace are significant advantages.
On the other hand, rigid spas offer better durability, a superior massage experience, but at a higher cost and require a more complex installation. Weigh the pros and cons of each type of spa before making your final decision. Regardless of whether you choose a rigid, semi-rigid, or inflatable spa, you can enjoy moments of relaxation and well-being in the comfort of your own space.
