We’ve moved beyond foam and vinyl. Our DuraCore covers have a completely different internal construction than ordinary covers. A tough plastic shell that doesn’t break, a lightweight, highly insulating core, and no polystyrene to absorb water. All inside a tough, beautiful fabric skin.
Inside
Modern spa covers can’t get waterlogged because there’s simply nothing in them that absorbs water the way foam covers do. High strength is achieved using high-grade twinwall polycarbonate that stays strong year after year. And our engineered insulation pack uses commercial grade insulation and radiant air cavities to give you double the R-value in a lightweight package.
Outside:
Why shouldn’t the fabric covering last as long as your spa? Every DuraCore cover comes with the most advanced polyester fabric of any spa cover. Made from solution-dyed fibers, it has a lifetime warranty against cracking. Plus, there’s no need for regular treatment to maintain UV protection of your cover.
The best spa for the planet:
Standard vinyl and foam spa covers waste a lot of energy over their short lives, then head to landfills where they sit for hundreds of years. Modern covers last far longer, are made of 90% recyclable and reusable materials, and save literally tons of carbon over their lifetime. Plus we offer the only solar heating spa cover on the market, our SunCatcher spa cover, which offsets up to 80% of electric heating, saving up to 20 tons of greenhouse gas emissions over its life.
If you’ve spent any time shopping for a new hot tub, you’ve probably heard a lot about how good hot tubs are for your health. But apart from being relaxing and soothing, many people still wonder, “What does a hot tub actually do for your body?” The short answer? A lot.
Using a hot tub regularly can have a tremendous impact on a number of health conditions and provide a big boost to your overall well-being. To understand the effects of a hot tub on the body, here are some common physical ailments and health issues that can be alleviated with regular hot tub use.

Muscle soreness
Chronic pain affects an estimated 20% of U.S. adults or around 50 million people. Often, that pain takes the form of sore muscles. Thankfully, hot tubs might be able to provide some relief. The heat from the spa water could help loosen tight muscles and encourage blood flow, which can help reduce pain. Powerful jet systems can also massage the muscles and alleviate any tension that may be causing discomfort. That’s why regular hot tub use might not only relieve pain, but it can also provide a boost for your exercise routine as well.
Joint pain
Joint pain is another common affliction that can be improved through daily hot tub use. The reason is simple: The buoyancy of water can take weight off of your joints, which might help relieve joint pain or arthritis pain. According to the Arthritis Foundation, warm water immersion “offers 360-degree support for sore limbs, can decrease swelling and inflammation and increase circulation.” They also note that the effects of a hot tub on your body may continue for a prolonged period after you’ve left the spa.
Stress
Modern life is full of stressors that can take their toll on your physical and emotional well-being. But hot tubs help melt that stress away through the power of warm water hydrotherapy. Studies have shown that your body’s autonomic nervous system balances out when you immerse yourself in warm water. This balancing act could help you better manage stress and can even lead to “a reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease, improved memory, enhanced cognitive processes and increased concentration.”
Anxiety
Hot tubs might help reduce anxiety in much the same way that they can impact your stress levels. The way warm water affects your body’s nervous system might help you process emotions and relieve anxiety. But there are features beyond the water itself that can help with anxiety. Built-in LED lights help create a calming atmosphere while integrated Bluetooth speakers allow you to listen to relaxing music or a guided meditation program.
Poor sleep
According to one study , up to 70% of U.S. adults say they don’t get the sleep they need. And lack of sleep quickly takes a toll on both mind and body. But a hot tub can help correct that. A relaxing soak before bed helps you disconnect from the stresses and obligations in your daily life. Taking a break from screens and social media also helps quiet your mind and has been proven to lead to better sleep. By relaxing your muscles and erasing the worries of the day, a hot tub can set the stage for night after night of restorative sleep.
Conclusion
When it comes down to it, there’s a lot that a hot tub does for your body. But you won’t know how it’ll work for you until you try it yourself.
