Recommendations for hiring a birth pool

We are considering a home birth and I've googled hiring a pool. A few different places come up, so just wondered if anyone had done this and had recommendations for a company who will deliver nationwide and collect? Want to find someone reliable!

Haven't actually used it yet but I hired mine from Barefoot Birth Pools – tons of availability, arrived quickly (and the delivery guy took one look at me and carried it into the room where I plan to use it!), came with all the accoutrements you need and you can add stuff too, e.g. longer-length hose, temperature gauge, etc.

Get to keep it for 5 weeks so ordered it for 37 weeks. £100 deposit. Now I am fully prepared for home birth which means inevitably I'll end up being induced and not using it at all Grin

@burritofan this was one I came across. Good to hear you've had a good experience so far. The only thing that put me off was the £100 deposit. There is another company called Gentle Births and they don't seem to request the deposit. Not a biggy, just a consideration.
