Since its establishment in 1987, Active Birth Pools has been at the forefront of designing and supplying water birth pools.
Our commitment to ergonomic, safe, and high-quality birthing pools has made us a preferred choice for healthcare facilities globally.
Sustainable Materials and Production
Active Birth Pools emphasize sustainability through our use of Ficore® composite, a material known for its longevity, durability, and resistance to chemicals and bacteria.
With a life expectancy of over 25 years, it surpasses the durability of materials typically used in birthing pool manufacturing.
The pools are handcrafted in England by skilled craftsmen, ensuring reduced carbon footprint and support for local employment.

Product Sustainability
The design of Active Birth Pools focuses on durability and longevity, aiming to reduce waste and resource use over time.
The high insulation factor of Ficore® and the double-wall construction ensure better heat retention, reducing energy consumption for maintaining water temperature.
Ergonomic and User-Centered Design
In collaboration with midwives, obstetricians, and ergonomics experts, we have developed designs that cater to the comfort of mothers and healthcare professionals.
This approach aligns with human-centered design principles and contributes to the wellbeing and safety of users, enhancing the overall birthing experience.
