A 2 person inflatable spa sounds perfect but even the smallest size cheap hot tubs are generally referred to as 4 person hot tubs.
Unlike an inflatable hot tub with built-in seats, they have a cushioned base and although it will take 4 people it is definitely a much more luxurious experience for 2 people, that being said they are great for young families.
Take it as a luxury and enjoy the benefits of a hydrotherapy massage for your muscles with more space for the both of you along with the wide range of accessories, such as a neat little beverage table, for even more relaxation in your own two person inflatable hot tub.
They don’t come without any maintenance, though, albeit not a lot is required but to keep the water fresh, clean, and safe you should know how to clean your hot tub and which chemicals to use.

Plus, there is nothing wrong with creating a little extra room for yourself in fact it will enhance your spa experience. This way you can find the exact spot where the spa jets massage your body the best.
