What is a Shower Chair?

Also called a shower seat, this assistive device provides a stable place to sit as you take a shower or bath, helping reduce slip and fall risks in the process. Both portable and permanent options feature a water- and slip-resistant seat with or without padding, as well as legs with non-slip or suction-style feet that dependably remain in place. Chairs are designed to stay in the shower and may additionally provide transfer capabilities for getting in and out of the tub.

Shower chairs accommodate individuals concerned about slipping in the shower as they age and provide support to those living with a disability or chronic illness or recovering from surgery.

 

Types of Shower Chairs

  • Shower stools, or a seat without a back. Shower stools also tend to be portable.
  • Shower chairs, which not only include a back but may have side handles for additional support.
  • Shower benches, a longer bath chair with one side situated in the tub and the other outside on the floor. This construction lets you maneuver in and out of the tub with more support.
  • Folding bath shower chair, a design that can be folded down for more space in the tub.
  • Rolling shower chairs, which operate similarly to a wheelchair.
  • Swivel shower chairs, which have a rotating seat for stepping in and out of the tub.
  • Bariatric shower chairs, which support higher amounts of weight and often include additional stability features.
  • Padded shower stools, which offer a softer, cushioned surface to reduce skin-tearing risks.

    When is Shower Chair Most Useful?

    • When standing in the shower poses too great a risk for falling and injuries.
    • When an individual physically cannot stand or can only do so for a limited amount of time.
    • Having a shower chair with a commode in cases where the person or patient cannot be immediately transported to the toilet.
    • When an individual needs a reliable seat that will stay structurally sound and not rust or oxidize.

    Fully consider the safety of your bathroom area. In addition to a shower seat, you can install grab bars and non-slip mats for additional traction and stability. Browse a full line of shower safety solutions and bathroom aids at Vitality Medical now.
