What dimensions should the bathtub have for which height?
Of course, the dimensions of the bathtub depend on your height. You have the opportunity to try them out in many specialist shops. You can also try out Villeroy & Boch bathtubs at retailers near you before you buy. As a general rule, the bath should be around five to ten centimetres wider than your shoulders. The length should be approximately the same distance from your neck to your feet so that you can lie comfortably.
Are there bathtubs in which you can lie in pairs?
There are both extra-wide and corner baths that offer space for two adults. The bath from the "Aveo New Generation" collection from Villeroy & Boch offers plenty of space to relax and is characterised by its elegant design.
