MySpaCover vs. The Other Guys: Why Quality Truly Matters in Hot Tub Covers
When it comes to hot tub covers, every company claims they offer the “best quality.” But as most customers discover the hard way, not all covers are built the same. At MySpaCover, we don’t just make promises—we deliver performance, durability, and craftsmanship that stand the test of time.
To help you make an informed decision, here’s a clear comparison of what we offer versus what the “other guys” provide.
Our Quality: Built to Last, Designed to Impress
At MySpaCover, we use only premium-grade materials and the most advanced manufacturing processes. Every detail is intentionally engineered to give you a longer-lasting, better-performing hot tub cover.
1. Heavy-Duty, Marine-Grade Handles
MySpaCover:
Our handles come standard with marine-grade vinyl and are double-stitched for maximum durability. They not only hold up under regular use but also deliver a sleek, high-end appearance.
Other Guys:
Competitors often use thin, low-quality handles that rip off within the first couple of years. The difference is obvious—both in looks and longevity.
2. Strong, Matching Straps That Don’t Fail
MySpaCover:
Our straps are also made from marine-grade vinyl and are double-stitched to ensure they stay secure, strong, and visually consistent with the rest of the cover.
Other Guys:
Cheap straps that snap easily and don’t match the cover color? That’s the norm with lower-quality manufacturers. It not only hurts durability but also ruins the aesthetics of your spa.
3. Double-Stitched Seams and Hinges
MySpaCover:
Every seam and hinge on our covers is double-stitched, giving your spa cover the reinforcement it needs to resist wear, sagging, and tearing over years of use.
Other Guys:
Single stitching and exposed shells are common, which leads to cracking, faster deterioration, and even heat loss—ultimately costing you more money on electricity.
The Underside: The Most Overlooked (but Most Important) Part of Your Cover
Most people only look at the exterior of a hot tub cover. But the underside is where the real battle happens—against high heat, constant steam, and harsh chemicals. A cheap underside means a short-lived cover.
MySpaCover’s Underside Advantage
We use a high-performance 11oz PVC-coated poly material, rigorously tested to withstand years of extreme temperatures and chemical exposure. This material protects the core and preserves the integrity of your cover far longer than low-grade alternatives.
In addition, our 6-mil plastic wrap is vapor-sealed, preventing heat and moisture from penetrating the foam core. This is essential for keeping energy efficiency high and replacement costs low.
What the Other Guys Use
Competitors commonly rely on mesh bottoms—a material chosen solely to cut manufacturing costs. These mesh undersides trap moisture, weaken quickly, and ultimately fail far sooner than a properly sealed PVC underside.
If you’ve ever owned a budget cover that absorbed water and became heavy, this is usually the reason why.
Why MySpaCover Stands Apart
Choosing a hot tub cover shouldn’t mean gambling on quality. With MySpaCover, you’re investing in long-lasting durability, reliable construction, and materials that genuinely protect your hot tub—not just cover it.
Here’s what you get when you choose us:
-
Premium marine-grade vinyl across all critical components
-
Double-stitched seams and handles for superior strength
-
A rigorously tested underside built to withstand heat and chemicals
-
A vapor-sealed core that preserves heat and efficiency
-
A polished, premium look that transforms your spa
The other guys simply don’t match up.
Final Thoughts
Your hot tub is an investment—and your cover should protect that investment, not fail after a season or two. At MySpaCover, we take quality seriously because we know how important durability, safety, and long-term performance are for spa owners.
When you compare the materials, construction, and engineering behind our covers, the difference is clear. If you want a hot tub cover that lasts longer, looks better, and performs stronger, MySpaCover is the obvious choice.
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.
