What are Bath Benches?

Bath benches, also known as bath seats or shower benches, are devices designed to provide stability and support for individuals while bathing. They are typically made of waterproof materials, such as plastic or stainless steel, and have non-slip feet to prevent sliding.

Why Use Bath Benches?

Bath benches are useful for people who have difficulty standing or maintaining balance in the bath or shower. This can include the elderly, individuals with mobility issues, or those recovering from surgery or injury. By providing a stable seating surface, bath benches can help reduce the risk of falls and slips in the bath or shower.

Types of Bath Benches

There are several types of bath benches available, including:

  1. Transfer Benches: These benches have a seat that extends outside the tub, allowing users to sit down before entering the bath. They are ideal for individuals who have difficulty stepping over the tub wall.
  2. Swivel Bath Seats: These seats rotate to make it easier to get in and out of the bath. They are often used in combination with a handheld showerhead for added convenience.
  3. Folding Bath Seats: These seats fold up when not in use, making them a good option for small bathrooms or for those who need a portable seating solution.
  4. Corner Bath Seats: These seats fit into the corner of a bathtub, providing a stable seating surface while maximizing space in the tub.
  5. Bath Chairs: These are similar to bath benches but have a backrest for added support. They are often used by individuals who need more support than a bench can provide.

Choosing the Right Bath Bench

When choosing a bath bench, consider the following factors:

  • User’s Needs: Consider the user’s mobility and strength. If the user has difficulty standing or maintaining balance, a bath bench with a backrest may be more appropriate.
  • Bath Size: Measure the size of your bath to ensure that the bench will fit properly. Some benches are designed for larger tubs, while others are more suitable for smaller tubs.
  • Weight Capacity: Check the weight capacity of the bench to ensure that it can support the user’s weight.
  • Stability and Safety: Look for a bench with non-slip feet and a textured surface to prevent slipping. Also, ensure that the bench is stable and does not wobble or tip over easily.
  • Ease of Use: Choose a bench that is easy to use and clean. Some benches have drainage holes to prevent water buildup, while others have removable seats for easy cleaning.
