I love that the tub retains the cold without too much added effort. The base is padded for comfort, but I am not sure you need to inflate it for it to be comfortable, as it is double-layered.
Filling up bottles for your freezer is better than ice cube trays.
The fabric is super tough, and I do not fear my dog or kids will puncture it doing, God only knows, what gets the best of everything else nice in my house.
The drain is solid. Excellent bang for your buck - Best part of my basement!!
