The premium 80-gallon tub has been designed specifically to accommodate the needs of [seniors or those with limited mobility](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-bsingen). As the name suggests, this is achieved through its unique "walk-in" design, which allows users to easily step in and out of the bath without having to put themselves in potentially comprised positions. In addition, the tub comes fitted with a contoured seat, which provides a comfortable sitting position without an excessive recline. Other notable features of the American Standard Acrylic 219 Luxury 60-inch walk-in bath include a quick drain system, an easy-to-clean high-gloss acrylic construction, and a whopping 26 total air jets.
