Shower Chairs For Elderly

About

Showering safely and independently is something most of us take for granted. Until it isn't. Our range of shower chairs for the elderly and bathroom aids is designed to put that confidence back, whether you're choosing for yourself or for someone you care about. The right seat makes all the difference. Types of Shower Chair to Choose From Shower chairs come in a few distinct styles.

It suits anyone who needs help lowering into a seat, has reduced core strength, or spends longer in the shower. The arms provide something to push up from, and the backrest means there's no need to balance without support. Most models have height-adjustable legs, a contoured seat, and a frame rated to 115 kg. Folding Shower Chairs A folding shower chair is ideal when bathroom space is tight or the chair needs to be put away between uses. The frame folds flat in seconds and stores against the wall. Folding models are also practical for travel or visiting family. Look for a frame weight under 3.5 kg if portability matters. Bariatric Shower Chairs For higher weight requirements, a bariatric shower chair offers a wider seat and a reinforced frame rated to 160 kg or more. The extra width and stability make a real difference to comfort and confidence. If the standard 115 kg rating is borderline, choose the bariatric option. It's the safer call. How to Choose the Right Shower Chair Here's what to look for when comparing models. Getting these details right means the chair works properly from day one. Seat Height and Adjustability The right seat height lets the user sit down and stand up with minimal effort. As a guide, seat height should roughly match the back of the knee when standing. Most people need somewhere between 43 cm and 57 cm. All our shower chairs have push-button height-adjustable legs, so
