ᐅ Contoured bathtub for two people with massage jets—does something like this exist?

Hello,
we are currently daydreaming a bit, and a bathtub is a big topic for us...
Ideally, I would like:
- A bathtub with body-contoured shapes. Firstly, this prevents slipping, and secondly, it requires less water.
- A two-person tub would be great, but it’s not absolutely necessary.
- Massage jets at least around the neck area would be desirable. But full-featured ones, with strong pressure, since I have issues with my cervical spine and once had the pleasure of trying such a tub in a hotel. It helped me a lot, and I would be reluctant to give that up.
- Overflow capability or the option to fill it “to the brim.” When I take a bath, it has to cover up to my neck, even without the massage. Whether the tub is deep enough or has an integrated overflow drain all around doesn’t matter.
Now the question is:
Does something like this exist? Or can anyone at least provide some names or search terms to research possible suppliers? Also open to tubs that meet only some of the above points.
Many thanks and best regards,
Marc

Oops, sorry, I didn’t know that yet. I need to check the exact conditions for these things right away, sorry.
With the Ergo system, there are so many versions with almost the same name that I didn’t know how to present it clearly and quickly. So anyone who wants to know what I mean by back and neck in the Hoesch system should google “Whirlsystem Tergum (N).”
This involves 10 nozzles arranged at the head end in the shape of two upside-down L’s. The outer ones target the deep neck muscles, while the inner four, arranged vertically next to each other, aim at the upper back muscles alongside the spine. Something like this:
-O-O---O-O-
----O---O----
----O---O----
----O---O----

I couldn’t find anything like that? Only up to two single nozzles or a group of three with a central nozzle on top, which wouldn’t make much sense directly on the spine?

So, I searched through everything again at Kaldewei but couldn’t find anything regarding the arrangement. Am I missing something or does it just not exist?
By the way, we found out that the brand Vigour (displayed in a local wholesale showroom) uses exactly the same nozzles and layout as Hoesch... When I asked, I was told that Vigour products are manufactured by Hoesch. Also interesting...
Another thing we noticed there:
The Hoesch/Vigour nozzles (the only ones not fully open across the pipe diameter) were the only ones that didn’t look dirty. All other nozzle systems had limescale deposits and such inside that didn’t look very appealing.
Since we have hard water with 18 °dH (degrees of German hardness), this is something to consider. Nowadays, all the nice shower trays are made of acrylic, which is not compatible with every cleaning agent. So, the entire setup should be easy to maintain. I don’t quite understand why silicone nozzles aren’t used for this.

Regarding limescale: A descaling system costs around 2,000 euros, something to consider.

When two people use only a small amount of warm water for bathing, you have to expect noticeable deposits. You can either choose components that allow for proper disinfection or significantly shorten the maintenance intervals. The Japanese approach is to wash thoroughly beforehand.
Having a little extra water can also be beneficial.
