Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When should you start using a shower chair? As soon as standing through a whole shower leaves you tired, dizzy, or gripping the wall, not after a fall. MedlinePlus advises sitting on a bath chair or bench when taking a shower.

Q: How much weight can this shower chair hold? It supports up to 350 lbs.

Q: What height does the shower chair adjust to? The legs adjust in 1 inch steps from about 16 to 21 inches, so your feet can rest flat on the floor.

Q: Are the arms removable? Yes. The padded arms come off without tools, which helps if you need a side transfer or a narrower chair.

Q: Will it fit in a bathtub? Yes, it fits most tubs and walk-in showers; it is about 21 inches wide. If you cannot step over the tub wall, use a tub transfer bench instead.

Q: Does it need tools to assemble? No. It assembles without tools in a few minutes.

Why we know this works!

We love this shower chair because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we would much rather set someone up before the first bathroom fall than after it. When should you start using a shower chair? Sooner than most people think: the right time is when standing through a whole shower leaves you tired, dizzy, or gripping the wall, not after something has gone wrong. This chair has a back and armrests to keep you steady if your sitting balance wavers, adjusts from 16 to 21 inches, supports 350 pounds, and its compact frame fits a smaller shower or tub. It is a smart first step for people with low endurance from heart or lung disease, arthritis pain, or early balance changes. If getting over the tub wall is the hard part, a chair alone is not enough; use the Padded Knock-down Tub Transfer Bench instead, and for a roomier seat see the Wide and Flat Seat Shower Chair w/ Back & Arms.
