The most common complaint about walk in tubs is that they feel small. That is a sizing problem, not a product problem: a 52-inch tub with a 12-inch seat suits a bather under about 5'10". Taller people need a longer footwell and a deeper seat, and people who want water to the shoulders need a taller shell. This page groups the tubs that solve both: 60-to-72-inch models, deep-soak shells over 45 inches tall with 85 to 90 gallons, and the two Ella models built for bathers up to 7 feet.
Large & Deep Soak Walk In Tubs: Room to Stretch Out
For bathers over 6 feet or anyone who finds a standard 52-inch tub cramped. Longer seats, deeper wells, more legroom.

View model →Reading the numbers
- Seat depth (front to back) is the legroom number. 16 inches and up suits tall bathers; the Big4One is 21 inches, the ShaK nearly 27.
- Height is the soak number. A 38-inch shell puts water at mid-chest; a 45-inch deep-soak shell (HD 3155D, 3260D) covers the shoulders.
- Gallons is the water heater number. Over 75 gallons, plan on a 50-gallon-plus heater or a tankless unit.
- Lay-down models (Ella 30 x 60 and 32 x 72) bathe reclined like a conventional tub, for people who never liked sitting upright.
Questions we answer every day
What is the best walk in tub for a tall person?
For bathers 6'2" to 7', the Ella Big4One (33 x 66) or ShaK (36 x 72). Under 6'2", the Ella Ultimate or Transfer60, Hydro Dimensions 3060 or 3260, or Meditub 3260 give comfortable legroom in a 60-inch alcove.
What is a deep soak walk in tub?
A shell 45 inches or taller that holds 85 to 90 gallons, so a seated bather is covered to the shoulders. Hydro Dimensions 3155D and 3260D are the deep-soak models we install.
Do large tubs fit through doors?
A 36-inch shell needs a 32-inch clear opening. We check every doorway on the path and plan any frame removal before the truck arrives.
How long do large tubs take to fill?
Ten to twenty minutes for 85 to 90 gallons on a typical residential heater. An inline heater keeps it warm once full.
