Why Are Hot Tub Covers Made of Leather?
Hot tub covers are essential for maintaining water temperature, preventing debris, and ensuring safety. While they come in various materials, leather is rarely, if ever, used for hot tub covers. Here’s why:
-
Material Durability: Leather is prone to water damage, warping, and cracking when exposed to moisture, making it unsuitable for outdoor use or constant exposure to steam.
-
High Maintenance: Genuine leather requires regular cleaning and conditioning to avoid mold and mildew growth, which is impractical for hot tub covers.
-
Cost Inefficiency: Leather is an expensive material, and its short lifespan in wet conditions does not justify its cost for this purpose.
-
Better Alternatives: Most hot tub covers are made of vinyl or marine-grade fabrics. These materials are water-resistant, durable, and require minimal upkeep, making them the ideal choice.
Conclusion: While leather has its appeal in aesthetics, it’s not a practical material for hot tub covers. Stick to tried-and-tested options like vinyl for long-lasting protection and performance.
Our Quality
It is easy for a website to claim they have the best quality but at MySpaCover we guarantee it. We utilize only the highest quality materials and the most sophisticated processes to offer the best covers available online. Here is how our covers compare to the competition:
MYSPACOVER
Our heavy-duty handles come standard and are double stitched using marine grade vinyl to ensure the highest durability and most attractive aesthetics.
Our standard straps are double stitched and are also produced with marine-grade vinyl.
We double stitch every seam and hinge to ensure your spa cover can be used for years to come.
Other Guys
Their cheap handles are more prone to wear and tear and are known to rip off within the first two years plus the appearance speaks for itself.
Our competition uses low-quality straps that are prone to breakage and often times do not match the color of the spa cover.
Their use of single stitching and exposed shells can ultimately cause cracking and heat loss, costing you more on your electric bill.
The Underside
The underside of a spa cover is often overlooked. However, this is the material that is in constant contact with high temperatures and the chemicals in your spa. The life of your spa cover depends on a high-quality spa underside. We don’t cut corners like the other guys so you can trust that our 6 mil plastic wrap is vapor sealed to the core and will keep the heat out.
MySpaCover utilizes an 11oz PVC coated poly that, after years of rigorous testing, has proven to be the best possible material to withstand constant high temperates and chemical exposure.
Beware of mesh bottoms used by competitors as this type of material is meant to cut costs and is prone to failure.
