Why You Shouldn't Have Built In Pillows in Your Hot Tub

Q: Is installing permanent pillows or molding them directly into a spa a good method of manufacturing?

Keith: No. I don’t recommend buying a spa or hot tub with pillows molded right into the lip of the hot tub shell. Customers have told me that one of the biggest problems with this method of construction is that these synthetic pillows stain, absorb bacteria, smell and become unsanitary and will have to be thrown away. Why would you install synthetic pillows that are not only unpleasant but also very expensive to replace? As an alternative, Beachcomber has developed comfortable contoured neck recesses without plastic pillows that will last the life of your Beachcomber.
