The main difference between a soaking tub and a regular tub is the soaking tub is deeper than a regular tub.
Soaking tubs are designed to offer you the best relaxation by allowing you to fully submerge into the soaking tub while a regular tub is more shallow and does not offer that same relaxation.
Soaking tubs average 23 inches in height, while a standard tub typically comes in at under 19 inches.
Usually soaking tubs do not come made with Jets.
Most soaking tubs do not have any jets.
Although some soaking tubs are made with Jets and if you want a soaking tub with Jets you can get a soaking tub with Jets.
But most soaking tubs do not have Jets unless you get a soaking tub with Jets.
Soaking tubs are one of the simplest bathtubs, as they have no air or jet features.
This can be a common buit-in bath tub, freestanding claw foot tub (shown) or other configuration, but there is no water or air movement in the soaking tub.
Although air bathtubs and baths are more gentle and soothing than traditional whirlpool baths (sometimes called jetted tubs).
So you can buy soaking tubs with jets but normally the soaking tub has no jets.
