Lounge Seat or Open Plan all-seater?

What are the pros and cons of buying either a spa with a lounge seat or one with a more open-plan all-seat style. What should I be looking for in either option?

A. If you haven't wet tested a spa before then you may not be able to make a determination without doing so. A spa without lounge will usually give you more seating positions as seats are located on all sides of the tub facing inwards, whereas a lounge will take up one side of the tub where 2-3 seats would normally be located. Having said this, spas with loungers usually have enough seats anyway to accommodate most sizes of families. The lounge design itself is important and I would recommend if you are able to wet test the lounge then do so. If the lounge is too flat you will float out, too curved and it will not be comfortable or follow your body's natural contours. When testing think where the jets hit you when in the lounge, are there foot rests, arm rests and headrest?To lounge or not to lounge is a question only you can answer as this is pure consumer preference.
