One resolution that’s high on our lists this year is to enjoy the art of doing nothing and stop feeling guilty about it. In the past year we’ve explored new hobbies, done puzzles, baked bread, tried new exercise routines, taken virtual classes and admittedly cried once or twice while trying to balance it all.

Traditional hot tubs can cost more than $10,000 to purchase and install. That’s a hefty price tag for something we might forget about as soon as we can hit the hot tub at the gym or spa again. So we decided to get the scoop on inflatable hot tubs — because they seem to run around one-tenth of the cost, with some starting around $700. We rounded up picks from the two most trusted and high-quality brands — Coleman and Intex — and scoured through reviews to find shoppers’ favorites. Whether we want to complement an existing pool or just a warm way to relax outdoors as temperatures start to drop this fall, an inflatable hot tub delivers.
