Double-ended bath
Comfortable at both ends.
Both ends slope back and the taps sit in the middle, so either end is comfortable to lie against. Good for sharing, and for a more relaxed soak.

What it is
The waste and taps sit in the middle of the bath, often on the long side or the wall above, leaving both ends free. Many freestanding baths are double-ended.
Good for
Comfort
Lie back at whichever end you like.
Sharing
Two people can bathe without anyone sitting by the taps.
What to weigh up
Tap position
Middle taps need a wall or deck in the right place.
Less length to stretch
With both ends sloped, the flat base is shorter than a single-ended bath of the same size.
Getting it right
Wall-mounted taps
A wall-mounted bath filler in the middle keeps the rim clear.
