Rectangular Birthing Pool
This then, is the ideal pool for you if you want the most economical option and/or if space is limited. The folding rectangular pool is made of hinged wooden panels and takes less than 5 minutes to assemble. Simply open out the pool and place on the base, arrange the curtains and padding pieces and you're ready to fill!
The folding rectangular is the ideal choice if you are taking the pool into hospital with you, or if you have reason to expect a fast labour. Although this pool holds only half the water of the hexagonal pool, there is ample room for freedom of movement. The shape of this pool makes it very easy to use the sides of the pool to push against and ease you into different positions.
The rectangular pool is less expensive than the hexagonal pool to hire, and it is more likely that your domestic hot water supply will provide enough hot water to fill the pool to the right temperature quickly.

BirthWorks Birthing Pool Heaters
Our Hexagonal and Rectangular pools have the ability to be used alone for those with a tighter budget or who can’t spare the space for too long, or they can be used with our purpose built heaters. These stand along side the pool, and have pipes that go over into the water. They will maintain the temperature of the water for you so that the pool is ready for you to dip into at a moments notice. (Please note the heaters have a 1.5KW output and are designed to maintain the water temperature not to heat the water from cold).
Our heaters are cleaned to the same high standard as our pools and hoses. Click here for more information.
Please Note:
When considering transporting the folding rectangular pool, please bear in mind that it is 2,375mm when folded flat. You will need a estate car to transport the folding rectangular pool.
