What it is, and who it helps
A shower chair lets a person wash while sitting, which is safer for anyone who feels tired, dizzy or unsteady standing on a wet floor. It also saves energy, so that bathing is a pleasure rather than a risk.
A model with a back and a non-slip seat gives more support, and height-adjustable legs let it fit different people and uneven floors.
How to choose
- Pick adjustable height so that the feet rest flat on the floor and the knees are bent.
- Choose a model with a back and, if needed, arms, which help with standing up.
- Look for rubber feet and a seat with drainage holes that dries quickly.
- Check the weight limit and that the chair fits through your bathroom door and in the shower space.
Using it safely
- Check that the feet stand firmly on a non-slip surface before sitting.
- Use it with a handheld shower so that the person can wash without reaching or twisting.
- Wipe it and let it dry to avoid mould, and check bolts and feet regularly.

Can a shower chair be used in a bathtub?
Only a bath board or bath seat made for a tub should be used there. Ask us which is right.
