The 6 Best Freestanding Tubs

We tore out our old built-in tub during our 2026 bathroom remodel, and I’ve never looked back. A freestanding bathtub completely changes the feel of a room. It’s less of a utility and more like a piece of furniture.

Picking one felt like a huge decision. They’re the centerpiece of the bathroom, so you want something that looks good but is also comfortable for a long soak. I spent weeks looking at materials, sizes, and shapes before we finally pulled the trigger.

After going through the process myself and helping my sister pick one for her place, I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. Here are the freestanding soaking tubs that I’d actually recommend to a friend.

The Best Freestanding Bathtubs We Found

Empava 67-Inch Freestanding Soaking Bathtub

The Empava soaking tub costs around $1,500. This is the kind of tub that just works for almost any bathroom. It’s a great size, and the acrylic material is surprisingly light, which my husband was very happy about during installation.

The double-walled design really does help keep the water warm, so you’re not constantly adding more hot water. Its double-slipper shape is just really comfortable for leaning back, and the 15-inch soaking depth is deep enough to get a proper, full-body soak. It’s just a solid, beautiful choice.

The Downside: You’ll need to buy a separate freestanding or wall-mounted faucet, which adds to the total cost and installation complexity.

 

 

Vanity Art 67-Inch Freestanding Bathtub

For about $800, this Vanity Art tub delivers a ton of style for the price. If you want the freestanding look without a four-figure price tag, this is the one I’d look at first. It’s a great option for a guest bath or a budget-conscious primary suite remodel.

It’s still a generous 67 inches long, so you get plenty of room to stretch out. I also like that it has a self-leveling base, which can save you a lot of headaches if your floors aren’t perfectly even. It just looks clean and modern.

The Downside: Just like most of these tubs, it doesn’t come with a faucet, so you have to plan for that separately.

 

 

Woodbridge Venezia 71-Inch Whirlpool Bathtub

At around $2,000, this Woodbridge tub is for someone who wants a real spa experience at home. This isn’t just a soaking tub; it’s a full-on whirlpool with jets for your back and feet, plus bubblers. It even has one of those chromotherapy lights.

It’s huge at 71 inches, so it’s definitely a luxury. The acrylic surface is made to be stain-resistant and easy to clean, which is a must when you have all those jets. If hydrotherapy is your thing, this is a serious upgrade from a simple soaker.

The Downside: It’s a whirlpool, so it requires electrical work, and it also has no built-in faucet.

 

 

Anzzi Lusso 75.5-Inch Man-Made Stone Bathtub

This Anzzi tub is expensive, running about $4,200. But it’s an absolute beast of a tub, made from man-made stone that feels incredibly solid and premium. At over 75 inches long, it’s built for two people to soak comfortably without knocking knees.

The material has a nice matte finish and holds heat really well. This is the kind of freestanding bathtub you design the entire bathroom around. It’s a true statement piece for a large, luxurious primary bathroom.

The Downside: This tub is extremely heavy. You absolutely need to make sure your floor is reinforced to handle the weight, which can be a major construction project in itself.

 

 

Kohler Underscore Rectangle Freestanding Tub

The Kohler Underscore is priced around $2,400, and you’re paying for the Kohler name and quality. We have Kohler faucets throughout our house, and they’ve never let us down. This tub is no different—it’s just really well-made.

It has a clean, modern rectangular shape and a sculpted basin that’s genuinely comfortable to lie in. It feels more refined than some of the cheaper options. It’s a great choice if you want something high-quality that will last forever in your main bathroom.

The Downside: The price is definitely on the higher side for a standard acrylic soaking tub.

 

 

Signature Hardware Sheba 72-Inch Acrylic Double-Slipper Tub

For about $1,700, the Sheba tub from Signature Hardware makes a big impression. The high, sweeping sides of the double-slipper design give it a very dramatic, almost sculptural look. It’s designed to be the focal point of the room.

This is another deep soaker, and it’s insulated with foam, which is a nice touch for keeping the water toasty. It’s a fantastic tub if you have the space for it and want something that feels both classic and luxurious.

The Downside: At 72 inches long with a wide profile, it has a large footprint. You need a pretty big bathroom to pull this one off without it feeling cramped.

 

 

What to Look For in a Freestanding Tub

The biggest thing I learned is to pay attention to the material. Most tubs are acrylic, which is great because it’s lightweight, affordable, and holds heat pretty well. But the man-made stone or resin tubs feel much more substantial, though they weigh a ton and cost a lot more.

Measure your space, then measure it again. Remember that you need room to walk around the tub and, more importantly, room to clean around it. A freestanding bathtub that’s crammed against a wall kind of defeats the purpose and is a pain to keep clean.

And don’t forget the faucet! Almost none of these tubs come with one. You’ll need to buy a floor-mount or wall-mount faucet separately, and you need to factor that into your budget and your plumbing plan. Floor-mounted fillers look amazing but can add another $500 or more to the project.
