The TransferXXL is 55 inches long and 36 inches wide. Measure the alcove length, width and the narrowest doorway on the path to the bathroom, then send us the numbers. Extension panels close the gap in a standard 60-inch alcove, and we confirm fit before you order.
The seat is 29 inches wide and 17.75 inches deep, which suits seated hip widths up to about 28 inches and bathers from 5'1" to 6'4". If you are near either limit, call us and we will steer you to the next size.
No. Hydro and air systems are plumbed into the shell at the factory, so choose your therapy package when you order. Heated seat, chromatherapy and aromatherapy are chosen at the same time.
No. We ship supply-only anywhere in the U.S. and Canada (free shipping to the lower 48 on many models, freight quoted for Canada) and you keep the factory warranty when the tub is installed to specification, and Ella is built for supply-only: no in-home visit is required and you can use your own installer. Or our factory-certified installers handle everything, usually in one day.
Finding a large walk in tub that truly fits your body, your mobility needs, and your bathroom layout can feel overwhelming.
Many walk-in tubs look similar on the surface, yet perform very differently once you actually try to use them.
This page is designed to be the most complete resource available for anyone researching
extra large walk in tubs—especially those who want more room, a wider seat, and a safer way to enter the tub without stepping up.
Not all tubs marketed as “large” actually provide meaningful interior space.
This model was engineered specifically for larger body types, taller bathers, and users who need a wide, stable seat with a transfer-style entry.
Unlike traditional walk-in tubs that require stepping up and over a threshold, this large walk in tub uses a
transfer-style design.
That means you can sit down first—either from a standing position or directly from a wheelchair—and then comfortably pivot your legs into the tub.
This approach dramatically reduces fall risk and physical strain.
It is especially beneficial for users with limited hip mobility, knee pain, balance concerns, or anyone who simply wants a more natural and controlled entry experience.
One of the biggest complaints about standard walk-in tubs is the feeling of being squeezed or confined.
Extra large walk in tubs solve this problem by increasing usable interior dimensions—particularly seat width and legroom.
This model features an oversized molded seat that provides stable, comfortable support for larger body frames.
The wider seating surface allows you to sit naturally instead of feeling perched or restricted.
Body comfort is not just about weight—it is about proportions.
Taller bathers often need more legroom, while larger bathers need more hip and seat width.
This large walk in tub was designed with both in mind, making it one of the most accommodating transfer tubs available.
The outward-swinging, L-shaped door creates a wide, unobstructed opening.
This makes transfers smoother and reduces twisting or awkward movements.
A multi-point locking system ensures a secure, watertight seal while remaining easy to operate.
A common frustration with walk-in tubs is waiting for water to drain before opening the door.
This large walk in tub uses a dual-drain gravity system designed to release water quickly and efficiently.
Faster drainage means:
While this tub excels as a spacious soaking and transfer solution, it can also be enhanced with therapeutic options.
Depending on configuration, users may enjoy water-based massage, air jets, or targeted lower-body therapy.
| Feature | Standard Walk In Tub | Large Walk In Tub |
|---|---|---|
| Seat Width | Narrow | Extra Wide |
| Entry Style | Step-in | Transfer-style |
| Comfort for Larger Users | Limited | Excellent |
If you want maximum space, safer entry, and a tub that truly accommodates your body—not just a marketing label—this model is an excellent choice. Or maybe a roll in shower is a better option for you?
Every installation is different, and pricing can vary based on features, delivery method, and installation preferences.
Our team can help you determine whether this large walk in tub is the right fit for your home and your needs.
