Bathroom Safety

Shower chairs, benches and stools

Aluminum-frame seating that stands inside the shower or tub on rubber-tipped legs. Seats run 13 to 21.75 inches wide, frames weigh 3 to 11.5 pounds, and several models adjust in height from 15 to 22 inches. Backed, backless, and swivel-seat versions are carried.

Transfer benches

A bench long enough that two legs stand inside the tub and two outside, so the user sits on the outer end and slides across the tub wall while seated. Seats run 22.5 to 26 inches wide; one model slides on a track.

Raised toilet seats and bidets

A moulded seat that locks onto the existing toilet bowl to raise the sitting height, with removable arms on several models. Two PreserveTech versions add a bidet wash, in ambient-water and warm-water configurations.

Toilet safety rails

A free-standing frame that surrounds the toilet with an armrest on each side, 21 inches between arms, without attaching to the bowl or the wall.

Tub rails and grab bars

Rails that clamp onto the tub wall to give a grip point for stepping in and out, in fixed heights of 14.5 and 16.5 inches and one model adjusting from 14.5 to 17 inches. No drilling is involved.

Commodes

A folding frame with a seat and removable pail that serves as a bedside toilet. The steel model is rated 350 pounds; the bariatric model is rated 650 pounds and adjusts from 15.5 to 22 inches in height.

Bath lifts

The Bellavita is a powered seat that lowers the user to the tub floor and raises them back to tub-edge height. It is rated 300 pounds and the unit itself weighs 21.8 pounds for removal and cleaning.

Seat size: measure across the widest point of the hips while seated and add 1 inch, then measure the inside of the tub or shower stall to confirm the frame fits. Seats in this collection run 13 to 26 inches wide.

Weight capacity: adult seating in this collection is rated from 300 to 500 pounds, with the bariatric commode rated 650 pounds. The Otter bathing system is a pediatric unit rated 60 pounds. Every rating is printed as a numeral on its product page.

Installation: tub rails clamp on, toilet frames stand free, and raised seats lock onto the bowl — none of these requires drilling. Suction-mount bars attach to smooth tile only.

The main decision: can the user step over the tub wall? If yes, a shower chair inside the tub covers seated bathing. If not, a transfer bench spans the wall so the user crosses it seated.

What size shower chair do I need?

Measure hip width at the widest point while seated and add 1 inch for the seat, then measure the tub or stall floor to confirm the legs fit inside. Seat widths in this collection run 13 to 21.75 inches.

How much weight can a shower chair hold?

Shower seating in this collection is rated 300 to 500 pounds, stated as a numeral in each product's specification table. The rating is the maximum seated load through the frame and legs.

What is the difference between a shower chair and a transfer bench?

A shower chair stands entirely inside the tub or stall and the user steps in to reach it. A transfer bench is longer: two legs stand outside the tub, so the user sits down outside and slides across the wall while seated.

Do tub rails and raised toilet seats need tools to install?

No drilling is required for the products in this collection. Tub rails tighten onto the tub wall with a clamp, raised toilet seats lock onto the bowl with a hand-tightened bracket, and toilet safety rails stand on their own frame.

What does a raised toilet seat do?

It locks onto the existing bowl and raises the sitting surface, shortening the distance to stand up from. Models in this collection add removable arms, a locking bracket, and in two versions an ambient-water or warm-water bidet wash.

How does a bath lift work?

A powered seat sits inside the tub, lowers the user to the tub floor for bathing, and raises them back to tub-edge height to exit. The Bellavita in this collection is rated 300 pounds and weighs 21.8 pounds for lifting out to clean.
