I love my clawfoot tub. That is to say, I want to love my clawfoot tub; I theoretically love my clawfoot tub; I even occasionally forget that I, in fact, do not love my clawfoot tub for one reason alone: I can’t get comfortable in it. In conceiving of their new Essencia Rectangular Therapeutic Tub, manufacturer BainUltra must have anticipated this shortcoming—for this new tub offers supreme comfort in multiple positions: stretched out, relaxed, or seated.

BainUltra’s Essencia Rectangular Tub Gives Bathers a Customized Experience of Supreme Relaxation

To see the exterior of Essencia Rectangular—its compact, smooth, and sublimely squared off contours—prospective bathers might not guess it would offer this degree of variable positioning. But it would seem that BainUltra, widely known for their deft synthesis of luxuriant aesthetics and good ergonomics, likes to keep us guessing.

Because no one would guess at Essencia Rectangular’s functional interior, which is adorned with two integrated armrests and a duo of miniature benches. The tub’s innovative inside thus facilitates enhanced bodily comfort and supreme relaxation for even the pickiest of bathers.

In addition to the armrests and seats (which can easily be used as footrests too), BainUltra’s Essencia Rectangular features a backrest with an inset inverted V to “prop up the back and deliver a massage with superior therapeutic benefits.” BainUltra delivers the latter with characteristic aplomb courtesy of a dual row of air jets and patented Hydro-thermo massage.

Lastly, and perhaps most surprisingly, BainUltra brings us this comfortable, attractive, and therapeutic bath all within the minimal space of 68” x 38” x 26”. Thus, the Esencia Rectangular not only restores and rejuvenates but saves space too, as it works in rooms as small as 90 sq. ft.: “The one-person Essencia Rectangular is designed to make a big impact in small spaces, ideally next to a wall or window to maximize the available space… The unique design and refined shape will restore balance and vitality.”

About the Manufacturer: Manufacturer BainUltra has been at the business of turning bathrooms into unique locales of rejuvenating repose for more than three decades. During that time, they’ve provided clients with an unparalleled line of therapeutic baths, therapeutic care units, and integrated air jets that deliver precision therapeutic hydromassage: “It is BainUltra’s hope that the world might embrace a new art of living in which we slow down, listen to what is within, and enjoy more harmonious and enduring relationships with one another.”
