You measure the bathroom, picture a deep soak, and realize the material can change the entire installation. The six options here are acrylic or stone resin rather than vitreous china porcelain, so this roundup helps you distinguish the practical differences that matter in a real bathroom.
The Essentials At A Glance
WOODBRIDGE 67-Inch Acrylic Freestanding Soaking Tub
WOODBRIDGE BS428-L-MB02 Heated Jetted Alcove Tub
WOODBRIDGE B0010 67-Inch Acrylic Soaking Tub, Black
WOODBRIDGE B-1814 59-Inch Acrylic Soaking Tub, Nickel
WOODBRIDGE 72-Inch Whirlpool Air Tub
WOODBRIDGE 61-Inch Stone Resin Oval Soaking Tub, White
The Details Behind The Selections
A roomy soaking tub can turn an ordinary bathroom into a place you genuinely look forward to using, and this 67-inch model offers a generous balance of length and width. Its freestanding shape reduces the visual clutter of a built-in installation, which works well when you want the tub to become the focal point.
You get a 60-gallon capacity and gently contoured profile, so it suits one person who likes space or two bathers who do not mind sharing. Compared with the more compact B-1814, this tub sacrifices a little floor space in exchange for a more generous soak.
The Good Stuff
- The 67-by-31.5-inch footprint provides substantial soaking room without reaching the 72-inch length of the double-slipper model.
- High-gloss LUCITE acrylic is reinforced with resin and fiberglass for a glossy, easy-to-maintain surface.
- The non-slip bottom meets ASTM slip-resistance standards, which matters during wet entries and exits.
- Matte black brass drain and matching stainless steel overflow create a crisp contrast with the white tub.
Practical Considerations
- The 22.8-inch exterior depth and 60-gallon capacity require adequate floor area and a suitable access route.
- The freestanding design still needs compatible plumbing connections, so measure the finished bathroom rather than only the alcove.
Quick Facts
Made For Spacious Soaking Rooms
This tub fits you best when you want a generous freestanding bath in a room that can comfortably accommodate 31.5 inches of width.
Consider Something Else When
The WOODBRIDGE B-1814 59-Inch Acrylic Soaking Tub suits you better when bathroom clearance matters more than soaking length.
Your evening soak becomes more spa-like here because the inline heater warms the water while nine adjustable jets provide targeted flow. Unlike the purely soaking first pick, this alcove model adds active water movement, lighting, and serviceable mechanical components behind a removable access panel.
The 60-by-30-inch footprint is easier to integrate with a three-sided tiled surround, while the left-hand drain fixes the orientation of your plumbing layout. You benefit most from a planned alcove installation rather than a quick freestanding replacement.
Advantages To Know
- Three small and six large adjustable jets let you redirect the water flow around your preferred soaking position.
- The inline heater activates with the pump and maintains water at up to 100°F until the set temperature is reached.
- Seven LED colors add visual interest to the tiled alcove without changing the core soaking function.
- A removable apron panel gives you direct access to internal components during maintenance.
Things To Consider
- The installation requires two 110-120V, 15-amp GFCI-protected circuits, so electrical planning is essential.
- Its left-side drain must align with the bathroom’s plumbing rough-in.
- The alcove flange and 30-inch width call for a more structured enclosure than a freestanding tub.
Core Details
Built With In Mind
This model suits you best when you are designing a tiled alcove and want jets, heated water, and coordinated lighting in one bathing area.
Reach For A Different Pick When
The WOODBRIDGE 67-Inch Acrylic Freestanding Soaking Tub suits you better when a simple installation without powered components matters more.
The B0010 takes a different approach from the 60-inch jetted alcove tub by concentrating on a deep, sculpted soak rather than powered features. Its 28.4-inch exterior depth and gently sloping sides follow the body’s natural curves, which can feel more embracing during a long bath.
You get a roomy 67-inch length that remains eight inches shorter than the double-slipper alternative. The double-wall reinforcement helps retain water temperature, while the matching matte black drain and overflow keep the design visually cohesive.
Everyday Advantages
- The deep profile supports a relaxed soak without adding jets, pumps, or electrical connections.
- Fiberglass reinforcement and a stainless steel support bracket provide a stated bearing capacity of 1,000 pounds.
- The scratch- and stain-resistant acrylic surface supports straightforward routine cleaning.
- Double-wall construction helps the water remain warm longer during your bath.
Minor Gripes
- The 28.4-inch depth calls for a freestanding setting with comfortable access around the tub and a suitable drain arrangement.
Right Fit For
This model suits you best when you prioritize a deep, quiet acrylic soak and want to avoid powered bathing equipment.
Where A Sibling Pick Shines
The WOODBRIDGE B-1814 59-Inch Acrylic Soaking Tub suits you better when a shorter footprint is needed for a tighter room.
Floor space is often the first constraint in a modest bathroom, and the B-1814 reduces the footprint to 59 by 29.5 inches. Compared with the longer freestanding choices, it still provides a 55-gallon capacity and a comfortable sloping profile for one or two bathers.
That compactness makes the tub more approachable for a guest bathroom or en suite, provided the finished measurements still leave room to use the surrounding space. Brushed nickel hardware gives you a softer metallic look than the matte black fittings on the 67-inch models.
Practical Pluses
- The 59-inch length is eight inches shorter than the 67-inch WOODBRIDGE freestanding options.
- A 55-gallon capacity preserves generous soaking room despite the smaller exterior footprint.
- The ASTM-compliant non-slip bottom supports safer footing on wet surfaces.
- Glossy LUCITE acrylic is reinforced with resin and fiberglass for a durable, smooth shell.
- The solid brass drain and stainless steel overflow share a coordinated brushed nickel finish.
Points To Note
- The narrower 29.5-inch width still needs clearance for cleaning and comfortable movement around the tub.
- Your drain and overflow layout must match the included brushed nickel components and the tub’s designated orientation.

Who Will Love This
This tub suits you best when you want freestanding soaking-room benefits in a bathroom where every inch of floor space counts.
Another Choice May Suit
The WOODBRIDGE B0010 67-Inch Acrylic Soaking Tub suits you better when a deeper profile and greater length take priority over compact dimensions.
A bathroom large enough for a 72-inch tub can support a much more substantial bathing area, and this double-slipper model makes the most of that space. Unlike the alcove jetted tub, it combines whirlpool jets, air bubbles, heated soaking, and an LED control panel in one freestanding format.
Its 65-gallon capacity and 14.5-inch water depth create a deep soak, with seating space measuring 41.75 by 22.9 inches. You need a generous room and carefully planned access, since the 35.4-inch width is the widest of the six options.
A Few Strong Suits
- Whirlpool jets and air bubbles provide two distinct forms of water movement in one bath.
- Heated soaking adds another layer to the long, room-filling design.
- The LED control panel keeps the operating functions together in a dedicated freestanding installation.
Trade Offs
- At 72 by 35.4 inches, this is the least compact option and demands substantial floor area.
- The combination of powered jets, air bubbles, and heating makes installation more involved than for a simple acrylic soaking tub.
Whose Space It Belongs In
This model suits you best when you have a large dedicated bathroom and want a two-person, feature-heavy soaking installation.
Look Elsewhere When
The WOODBRIDGE BS428-L-MB02 Heated Jetted Alcove Tub suits you better when a tiled 60-inch alcove is available instead of open floor space.
The material makes this the most distinctive option here: solid-surface stone resin gives you a dense, sculptural form that differs from the lighter acrylic tubs. Its oval shape softens the look of a 61-inch footprint, making it suitable for a modern bathroom where a rectangular tub would feel visually heavy.
Thick walls help the rim, base, and bathwater retain warmth, while the 71-gallon capacity supports deep, shoulder-high immersion. The integrated slotted overflow and drain reduce visible hardware, which gives you a cleaner finished appearance.
Where It Helps
- Solid-surface construction gives the tub a substantial appearance and a smooth, minimal exterior.
- Thick walls support slower heat loss during a long soak.
- The 71-gallon capacity enables a deeper bath than the other freestanding options.
- Integrated overflow and drain hardware keep the rim visually uncluttered.
Worth Bearing In Mind
- The large 71-gallon capacity requires a suitably sized floor area and enough room around the oval shell.
- Its deep form and solid-surface material are less forgiving of a cramped room than the 59-inch acrylic option.
- You gain a sculptural design without jets, a heater, or LED lighting.

Swap It Out When
The WOODBRIDGE B-1814 59-Inch Acrylic Soaking Tub suits you better when floor-space economy matters more than deep immersion and solid-surface construction.
What To Check Before Your Bathroom Remodel
Confirm the material first
Vitreous china porcelain is a fired ceramic material, while the options in this roundup use acrylic or stone resin. Each category has a different feel and installation profile, so review the actual shell and included components rather than relying on the product category label.
Measure the usable floor space
Record the finished wall locations, door swing, vanity, and side access before selecting a tub. A 59-inch tub offers more flexibility than the 72-inch model, but even a compact freestanding design needs enough clearance to enter, exit, and clean around the shell.
Match the installation type
An alcove tub needs a three-sided surround and a defined plumbing rough-in. Freestanding models offer more placement flexibility, while heated and jetted versions need suitable electrical service and access to internal components.
Check plumbing and hardware early
Confirm the drain side, overflow finish, and connection requirements before the surround or floor is finished. A removable access panel is also valuable because it can simplify service work around the heater and pump.
Practical Lessons Before Installation
Mistakes Worth Dodging
Measure after the walls and flooring are complete, because small dimensional differences can affect a freestanding installation. Also check the drain, overflow, electrical, and access requirements before ordering finishes or building an enclosure.
Where The Extra Money Goes
A higher-tier model may add heated water, adjustable jets, air bubbles, LED controls, thicker walls, or a solid-surface shell. Those features suit you best when you use the tub often and have the space and installation support to maintain them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are any of these tubs porcelain?
No, the six featured tubs use acrylic or stone resin rather than vitreous china porcelain. You should compare each material’s installation and maintenance requirements before making a final selection.
Is acrylic the same as porcelain?
No, acrylic is a molded thermoplastic reinforced with fiberglass, while porcelain is fired ceramic. Each material weighs differently and has its own installation, cleaning, and repair considerations.
Which option fits the tightest bathroom?
The WOODBRIDGE B-1814 59-Inch Acrylic Soaking Tub has the smallest exterior footprint at 59 by 29.5 inches. You still need to leave practical access around the tub and confirm the drain layout.
Which model includes heated water?
The WOODBRIDGE BS428-L-MB02 and the WOODBRIDGE 72-Inch Whirlpool Air Tub both include heated soaking functions. The BS428 also adds nine adjustable jets and LED lighting within an alcove-style installation.
Which option offers the deepest soaking space?
The WOODBRIDGE 61-Inch Stone Resin Oval Soaking Tub has a stated 71-gallon capacity and thick solid walls. Its 61-inch length and oval shape also make it visually substantial, so a large bathroom works best.
Final Verdict
Your best choice depends less on a material label than on your room, plumbing, and preferred ritual. Choose the B-1814 for compact freedom, the B0010 for a deep quiet soak, the stone resin tub for sculpted warmth, or one of the jetted models when powered bathing features justify the extra installation work.
