Specifications of the Height Adjustable Shower Chair 

Who is this shower chair for?

It can suit:

• Elderly and senior users who tire when standing
• People with limited mobility or balance difficulties
• People recovering from surgery or injury
• Anyone who finds standing for a whole shower tiring
• Home caregivers who help a family member bathe

Why sit down to shower?

Wet bathroom floors are a common place to slip.

The World Health Organization reports that falls are the second leading cause of unintentional injury deaths worldwide, and that adults over 60 face the highest risk. 

For older people, it lists home assessment and modifications among the ways to reduce that risk.

A seat does not remove every risk, but it gives the user a stable place to sit while washing.

Some users can then manage more of their bathing routine independently, depending on their mobility and needs. 

Caregivers also find it easier to assist when the person is seated.

How to set up and use a shower chair

1. Place the chair on a flat, stable surface inside the shower area.
2. Set all four legs to the same height and check that each one is locked.
3. Make sure all four rubber feet are in full contact with the floor.
4. Hold the armrests and sit down slowly, keeping your balance as you move onto the seat.
5. After use, rinse the chair, wipe it down and let it dry.

Shower chair or shower stool: which is right?

This type has a backrest and armrests, which suits users who need support when sitting, leaning back or standing up. 

A shower stool has no back, takes up less room and suits small showers and users with good balance. 

If the user has significant balance or transfer difficulties, ask a doctor or occupational therapist which type is safest.

How to choose the right shower chair

• Weight capacity: check the rated maximum user weight before you buy and never exceed it.
• Seat height: the user’s feet should rest flat on the floor with knees at a comfortable angle.
• Space: measure your shower floor and compare it with the chair’s footprint.
• Floor surface: use the chair on a flat, stable floor, not on a slope or loose mat.

Cleaning and care

• Wipe the frame and seat with mild soap and water or a suitable cleaner.
• Dry the chair and its rubber feet after use.
• Check the leg locks and rubber feet regularly and stop using the chair if a foot is worn or a lock is loose.
