ABOUT US

Softub began in 1985 by American founder Tom Thornbury. Tom and a few of his Engineer contacts created this fascinating product in their garage after looking at all the hot tubs on the market. Reviewing their good points and their bad points, they engineered a spa pool that Inc Magazine recognised on the Inc 500 List of fastest growing companies in consecutive years.

They set out to create a portable, lightweight, and efficient tub without the high cost in maintenance and electricity like a regular spa pool and succeeded beyond expectations. The 31 layers of closed-cell foam acts like a giant thermos – locking in heat at a higher retention rate than most hard-sided tubs. But also serves as a durable, lightweight structure making it the most portable spa on the market.

Over time and after various forms of research, Softub would become the “greenest” spa pool in the world and one of the top selling spa pools in the industry.

Softub’s first show debut occurred in 1987 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The unique spa pool drew lots of attention from prospects everywhere. Within five years, the company made the INC 500 list of fastest growing companies and remained in the top spot for three consecutive years. Since then, it has made appearances in magazines, television, and newspapers across the United States. Softub was even displayed at the 1996 Olympic games in Atlanta, Georgia. In 2015 'What Spa Magazine' nominated Softub in the category, best spa pool in the world.

They have been awarded the Best Buy Award by the Consumers’ Digest and recently listed as the most energy efficient hot tub on the market as outlined in The Homeowners Guide to Renewable Energy by Dan Chiras. Dan Chiras is a respected educator and the author of 29 books on residential renewable energy and green building including Power from the Sun and Power from the Wind. He has studied and worked with renewable energy and energy efficiency for over 30 years. Dan is the director of and lead instructor at The Evergreen Institute’s Center for Renewable Energy and Green Building (www.evergreeninstitute.org), where he teaches workshops on energy efficiency, solar electricity, solar hot water, small wind energy, green building, natural plasters, and natural building.

Today, Softub is still coined as the most unique, efficient, and portable hot tub on the market.
The tubs are covered with a marine-grade product called Leathertex, it has Mold, Mildew and UV Protection built into the material, allowing the tub to last longer than most hot tubs without fading, cracking, or peeling.

Hydrotherapy serves as a great benefit for overall health. Softub is a reliable source in providing relief from occasional aches and pains like headaches, muscle aches, tension, and stress, to chronic conditions like diabetes, arthritis, fibromyalgia, back, knee and hip problems and poor blood circulation. Weight loss is even a win-win with hydrotherapy. Soaking in a hot tub helps open the skin’s pores to release toxins and excess water weight from your body.

Who would have thought you could lose weight using a hot tub?
