Looking for the best way to improve your inflatable hot tub experience? Check out our top recommended accessories to enhance your soak. From spa steps and cup holders to booster seats and submersible LED lights, we’ve got you covered. Read on to find out more.
1. Booster Seats
Having booster seats in your portable hot tub is a must if you have kids or if there are short people who use the tub. One of the drawbacks of an inflatable Jacuzzi, even if you have one with hydro jets, is that you have to sit at the bottom of the tub. This is because inflatable hot tubs don’t have seats or loungers in-built into the tub. Sitting at the bottom of the inflatable spa is not ideal for many people for several reasons. The first is, of course, that it is a hard surface. Secondly, if the portable hot tub is being used by kids or people who are not tall enough to sit comfortably on the floor, it will make for an uncomfortable hot tub experience.
For kids and shorter people, these booster seats are the perfect option. You can buy a booster seat that is made from hard plastic, or you can even buy a soft one. Check out our favorites below.
2. Headrests
While short people may benefit from using a booster seat, taller people also face another type of challenge while using the standard size blow up hot tubs. Inflatable hot tubs are known to have soft walls that you can easily lean against. However, they are not very comfortable, and they can easily put a strain on the neck, especially if you are tall. For this reason, it becomes uncomfortable to completely relax the body since the neck and your upper body are not positioned in a comfortable and ideal position. These headrests are perfect for making you more comfortable, and they work perfectly for tall people since they have a challenging time resting their heads at the back of the inflatable Jacuzzi. You can even fill up the headrest with water to weigh it down so that it sits perfectly while offering a comfortable position for the neck.
Most headrests can easily be placed on top of the wall of the hot tub and held in place by filling it with water. You can further add firmness to the headrest by adding air.
3. Spa Steps
Having a good set of portable spa steps is one of the best hot tub accessories you can buy. Without these portable spa steps, getting in and out of the inflatable hot tub can be awkward and even dangerous. There are many different models of spa steps available online. These steps can range from one to four steps, and some even come with a storage compartment that lets you keep the Jacuzzi chemicals and other small accessories. You can even think about buying taller steps that come with railings to make entry and exit safer for the elderly and kids.
4. Submersible LED Lights
This is a must-have accessory for your outdoor hot tub is this submersible LED light. If you love to take a soak in your portable hot tub after dark, then this submersible LED light is perfect for you. And even if you already have lights in your hot tub, we bet you must have wished at some time or the other that you could change the lighting in your tub with just one click of a remote. These submersible LED lights are perfect for you as all you need to do is just put in three AA batteries, close the lid tightly and attach the light to the walls of your plug in the hot tub with the use of the suction cups at the back of the lights.
You can then switch on the lights right from your fingertips and set them at whatever color you like. There is an impressive 16 shades to choose from.
5. Bromine/Chlorine Floater
There are many options for inflatable hot tub bromine and chlorine floaters. From fun to practical, the options are endless. If you have kids, then this cute Derby Duck Floating Brominator by GAME is the perfect accessory to have for your hot tub.
This is the most entertaining and easy way to add 1″ bromine tablets to your inflatable spa water. The pair of cool shades on the duck has made this bromine floater even more adorable. You can even purchase a Derby Duck Floating Thermometer, which is sold separately, that is made to match your duck Brominator. If you complete the set, you will have an entire flock of useful little duckies floating around in your inflatable Jacuzzi.
6. Intex PureSpa Cup Holder Hot Tub Accessory
This is one of the top-rated hot tub accessories in the market. Who doesn’t want to have a hot tub beverage section available to them as they are soaking in the warm water? This cup holder holds two drinks, and there is also a tray attached with it to place other things. The beverage holders are the ideal size for cans and bottles but might be a bit too tight for keeping glasses. While this particular product might be a bit smaller than other hot tub side tables, it is still very handy, and you won’t regret buying it.
This cup holder has been designed for portable hot tubs, but it will fit onto hard shell hot tubs as well, which is an added advantage of this product. The grip is stable, so you don’t have to worry about your food or drinks spilling into the tub. This hot tub cup holder is one of the most budget-friendly accessories you can find.
7. BluFree Bluetooth Speakers with Colorful Lights
If you want to listen to music and have sparkling lights in your hot tub at an affordable price, this Bluetooth speaker with in-built colorful lights is the best accessory to have. Ideal for kids and adults both, it’s a great fit in your hot tub if you want to listen to some soothing music as you relax in the warm, bubbly water.

This is a low-maintenance and low-cost device, which creates the perfect mood and ambiance for your hot tub time. It also removes the hassle of having to install spa speakers or pool lights.
8. Spa Vacuum
Even if your inflatable hot tub is kept covered, debris and dirt can quickly build up. Dirt and sand brought in on feet tend to settle down at the bottom or hang around the seats. Getting a spa vacuum cleaner to get rid of the debris is a handy option.
The POOL BLASTER Aqua Broom Cordless Vacuum is ideal for small hot tubs and tight spaces. It has a running time of up to three hours and is ideal for cleaning sand and silt in inflatable hot tubs.
9. Umbrella
An umbrella might be the last thing you may think about when you are buying hot tub accessories. Umbrellas serve a very practical use, especially during those mid-day soaks. They keep the direct sunlight off of your face as you relax.
It’s not recommended mounting an umbrella to your inflatable spa due to it’s soft shell. Instead consider investing in a durable and good quality umbrella with a sold base that can withstand high winds.
