BeyondNice: Custom Hot Tub and Spa Covers

BeyondNice specializes in replacement hot tub and spa covers, manufactured by Spa Cover Incorporated, a company that has produced covers since 1985. The business presents itself as the store that originated Design-Your-Own hot tub cover ordering, allowing customers to specify dimensions and features directly. Covers are factory direct and custom made, with the company describing its pricing as wholesale.

The product range includes covers for spas up to 100 inches and over 100 inches, as well as spa cover caps and walk-on covers. BeyondNice also supplies replacement foam and vinyl components for cover repair. The catalog is organized by spa brand, with a long list of manufacturers such as Advanced Spas, Arctic Spas, Bullfrog Spas, Caldera Spas, Hot Spring Spas, Jacuzzi® Spas, Marquis Spas, Sundance Spas, and many others, enabling customers to search by make and model.

Design-Your-Own Cover and Thickness Options

The Design-Your-Own system lets customers select cover thickness. The Basic cover is 4 inches thick and is positioned as a low-cost choice when maximum insulation is not the top requirement, with an R-value range of R15–R27 and a price of $439.88. The Deluxe cover is 5 inches thick, described as a compromise between lower cost and additional insulation, with R20–R32 and a price of $499.88. The Ultra cover is 6 inches thick, the thickest made, intended for maximum insulation and minimal heating bills, with R24–R36 and a price of $519.88. All three are tapered for rain runoff.

For customers seeking the lowest possible heating costs, BeyondNice recommends maximizing cover thickness with 4-inch, 5-inch, or 6-inch tapered covers, or using flat covers for protected spas or indoor installations, and adding a continuous hinge seal for R-9 insulation. For the strongest cover against snow weight, the advice is to maximize foam density (1.0, 1.5, or 2.0) and thickness, or choose the Walk On cover that supports 400 pounds. For the longest cover life expectancy, the focus should be on protection from waterlogging, higher foam density, and a reinforced hinge for a cover lifter bar.

Sizing and Ordering Process

Customers can find the right size by searching with the spa model name or number, or by browsing the manufacturer's page to select model and year. BeyondNice states that nearly 80% of its custom replacement spa covers are made using owner-supplied dimensions, typically from three or four simple measurements. Additional specifications may be needed for raised speakers, control panels, waterfalls, air breathers, or handles. The company provides guidance on measuring length, width, rounded or cut corners, and skirt length from either the hot tub or an existing cover.

Shipping and Warranty

BeyondNice offers delivery to residences via FedEx parcel or common carrier freight, at the customer's choice. The company highlights a patented UPS/FedEx deliverable cover designed to end freight damage, and provides a shipping comparison between UPS/FedEx and freight delivery. A five-year warranty covers waterlogging, which the company identifies as the number one risk for covers. The site also mentions a price matching policy and a returns policy.

Spa Accessories

BeyondNice sells spa accessories, including a cover lifter and removal system made in the U.S.A. with a limited lifetime warranty, described as the highest quality lifter on the market. The lifter stores the cover safely off the ground and in a low position, requiring a minimum clearance of 18 inches at the storage area and 4 inches at the sides. The company also offers solid Redwood spa steps in straight, curved, or storage configurations, with or without a handrail. These steps are custom made and typically ship within 2–3 weeks from receipt of order. Available colors are Redwood, Coastal Gray, Mahogany (to match Sundance Spas), and Espresso (to match Hot Spring cabinets).

Customer Feedback and Certifications

The website includes client testimonials and references to reviews on platforms such as Bizrate, Amazon, PriceGrabber, Google, and Trust Pilot. One testimonial from a customer in Detroit, Michigan, notes that the cover was built to exact dimensions and fit properly. Another from Denver, Colorado, mentions frequent email updates during the ordering process. A customer from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, comments on the quality and fit. The company also displays a UL ASTM certificate and states that its covers are designed to handle all weather environments in the United States.
