Find out more about the design of birth pool in a box.
Step 1: Choose Your birth pool in a box
Choose your size: birth pool in a box Regular and Mini
Everyone is different. So is your home: both available space and the type of hot water system you have can make a difference in your choice of pool. The pools will inflate in 10 to 45 minutes. Fill time will depend on your water system.
We recommend the Regular birth pool in a box if:
- you are over 5'6" (167cm) and want more freedom of movement
- your partner would like the option to get in the pool with you
- your available floor space is more than 3 x 2.7 metres
- your hot water system is on-demand or your tank refills quickly
- you want the seat to relax on and bond with your baby after the birth
Consider the Mini birth pool in a box if some or all of these are not true. Both pools are 26" (66cm) deep internally when fully inflated. For more information, see the detailed specification of both the Regular and Mini birth pool in a box.
You can also choose to buy the Professional pool - designed for 20 uses - if you wish to have all your children in a pool at home, or just want the very best pool available. More...
