Bath Transfer Benches

About

Getting into and out of the bath does not have to mean stepping over the rim. Our bath transfer benches let you sit on the bench, then slide across into the tub, one smooth movement at a time. Browse our range of bath board and bath transfer bench options below. Standard Bath Transfer Benches A standard bath transfer bench straddles the side of the tub.

They are built from anodised aluminium, so they are lightweight, rust-resistant, and easy to wipe clean. Bench with Backrest and Armrest If you want extra support during the transfer, look for a bench with a built-in backrest and a side armrest.

Most models in this range are height-adjustable and suit users up to 135 kg. Sliding Seat Bath Transfer Bench A sliding seat bath transfer bench adds a second layer of ease. The seat section glides across the bench frame, so you do not need to lift and shift yourself along. Some models include a swivel seat with a 360-degree rotation. These are popular with people recovering from hip replacements, as the sliding action keeps the hip in a safer position throughout the transfer. Seat widths typically range from 38 to 45 cm, check the product page for the exact measurement.
