Our verdict on each
Lay-Z-Spa
Lay-Z-Spa suits new buyers who want a spa at home without a build project: prices run £379.99 upwards, delivery is included and the setup is plug and play. The trade-off is cover, with a 2 years warranty and a range topping out at 8 people seats, so bigger baths and longer guarantees point elsewhere.
Spadeluxe
Spadeluxe suits German home owners who want a fixed, high-capacity setup rather than a cheap inflatable, and it sells into DE only. It trades entry price for build quality, with 10 years of cover and seating for 7 people behind every tub.

Pros and cons
Lay-Z-Spa
Pros
- Prices run £379.99 upwards with delivery included, so the starting outlay is a single figure to work with.
- Plug and play setup removes the fixed install that buyers of hard shell tubs have to arrange.
- Finance is available, so a larger tub can be spread over time rather than paid in one sum.
Cons
- Warranty of 2 years is short next to the 5 median across brands on the site.
- The range tops out at 8 people seats, where larger tubs on the site reach 13.
- There is no sauna in hot tub, inflatable hot tub and cold plunge, so sauna buyers need Almost Heaven Saunas at sauna, infrared sauna and cold plunge.
Spadeluxe
Pros
- Warranty of 10 years runs well past the hot-tub median of 2, the strongest point on the page.
- Finance and included delivery together mean the €5,238 entry price can be spread with no separate freight line.
- Plug and play tubs with a heater of 3 to 5.25 kW keep commissioning work down.
Cons
- The infrared cabin entry price of €5,238 puts Spadeluxe at 22 of 25 brands on price from, so it needs justifying against cheaper shells.
- It sells into DE only, so anyone outside that market has no route to a dealer.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre only, with no live chat in that set.
Who each suits
Lay-Z-Spa
Who it suits
- New owners who want a tub running from a plug rather than a fixed install, since the setup is plug and play.
- Buyers weighing a purchase over time, with finance available alongside prices from £379.99 upwards.
- Households sized for a tub of up to 8 people seats rather than larger group bathing.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone set on a sauna, because Almost Heaven Saunas covers sauna, infrared sauna and cold plunge and the Lay-Z-Spa range of hot tub, inflatable hot tub and cold plunge does not reach it.
- Buyers who want a swim spa in the same range, since Saunaloft covers hot tub, inflatable hot tub and swim spa.
Spadeluxe
Who it suits
- German home owners who want a fixed shell tub with 7 people seats and a 10 years warranty behind it.
- Buyers who want tubs and saunas from the same seller, given a hot tub, swim spa and sauna range.
- Anyone who would rather spread the €5,238 outlay, since finance is available and delivery is included.
Who should look elsewhere
- Lay-Z-Spa, whose hot tub, inflatable hot tub and cold plunge range is built around inflatable formats and a cold plunge, so it suits buyers after a portable tub rather than a fixed shell.
- Saunaloft, whose hot tub, inflatable hot tub and swim spa range adds inflatable hot tubs to the same hot-tub, swim-spa and sauna core.
- Wave Spas Main, whose hot tub and inflatable hot tub range is limited to hot tubs, so the sauna and swim-spa side sits elsewhere.

Questions about each
Lay-Z-Spa
How much does a Lay-Z-Spa hot tub cost?+
The Lay-Z-Spa range prices at £379.99 upwards, and that entry figure is where most buyers start. Finance is available, so a larger tub can be spread over time instead of paid in one sum. Delivery is included on the models that carry it, which keeps the starting figure closer to the whole cost.
How many people fit in the biggest Lay-Z-Spa tub?+
The largest tub in the range seats 8 people. That covers a family or a small group of guests, and it is the ceiling for the whole range, not just the top model. Tubs on the site that seat more go as far as 13, so a larger group is looking at another brand.
Spadeluxe
What does a Spadeluxe spa cost to start with?+
The listed entry price is €5,238 for the infrared cabin range, which puts Spadeluxe at 22 of 25 brands on price from. Delivery is included, so the figure carries no separate freight line. Finance is available if that outlay needs spreading rather than paying in a single hit.
Where can Spadeluxe deliver?+
Spadeluxe sells into DE, and delivery is included on that route. The support team and the legal entity sit in the same country, which keeps the chain short for a heavy, bulky product. Buyers outside that market would need to look elsewhere, since DE is the only stated route.
