Is there a better cover for inflatable hot tubs than the cheap blow up kind that comes with them?

It's a pretty run of the mill round inflatable hot tub that I use for three months of the year when it's cold in Florida. The cover that came with it pretty much stinks and I wanted to see if anyone knew of any better replacements than just getting another one that will leak and be flimsy like the one that comes with it. Is there something more like a permanent hot tub lid that I could get that would work on an inflatable one? I know the permanent ones are these heavy foam insulated things, is there something like that I could get for this round one that will last me longer than the expected life of it?

What model is your inflatable hot tub? Or show us a picture of it and the flimsy cover and maybe someone will have ideas for you.

It's a budget Bestway Saluspa from Walmart.

Here is the insert to the cover that loses air now in about an hour. I'm tired of repairing/replacing these things which is why I was wondering about a solid core lid instead of a cheap piece of plastic that will fall apart after a season of use, and that season of use is only a couple of months.



It's about 57 to 58 inches across when fully inflated and goes over the water and then the cover straps on top of that.



That's a cheap replacement insert from Amazon I am trying out. Right now I have a larger sized one under the cover, photo is just there to show what I am working with.

I don't store it outside when it gets put away in February, everything gets dried up and boxed up, doesn't seem to matter though, the covers fall apart and always start leaking air.
