The pool design is great. It fit perfectly into our medium sized bedroom and we still had enough room to walk around. I was in the pool with my husband; my mother, my mother in law, and the 2 midwives were in the bedroom as well.
The birth pool was very comfortable. It fit myself and my husband easily and I had lots of room to change positions.
We were in the water for about 20 minutes after my daughter was born, and the water stayed nice and warm, which was a concern of mine. I was worried the water would cool quickly, but I was pleasantly surprised that it stayed so warm for that long. In total I was in the birth pool for about 4 hours. Overall the experience with the birth pool in a box was excellent. It was very easy to set up and take down; no mess and no fuss.
