Bath chairs at a glance
Types of bath chairs in this collection
The collection has four main types of bath seats, listed here from the largest group to the smallest.
Rolling shower commode chairs
Rolling shower commode chairs are the largest group here. They have wheels, a padded seat and a backrest. They work as both a shower seat and a bedside commode. Some add arms, flip footrests or a 3 in 1 design with a raised toilet seat. Several list a 300 lb (136 kg) capacity.
Adjustable shower chairs with backs
Adjustable shower chairs have a backrest, and many have arms and a padded seat. Their height adjusts to fit the user and the tub. The range lists non-slip feet and tool-free assembly on some models. This type suits a standard tub or a walk-in shower.
Transfer benches
A transfer bench sits across the edge of a tub. The user sits down outside and slides in. The 6 level adjustable aluminum bench has non-slip feet, an armrest and a backrest. It helps with entering a tub without stepping over the side.
Bamboo shower benches
A bamboo shower bench is a stool-style seat for a bathroom or spa. The 20 in (51 cm) bamboo bench adds a storage shelf for soap and towels. It suits users who can stand up and sit down without support.

How do you choose a bath chair?
Check the weight rating
Pick a chair rated above the user's weight. Several chairs in this range list a 300 lb (136 kg) capacity. The rating is on each product page.
Match the seat to the tub or shower
Measure the inside width of the tub or shower floor. Choose a chair or bench that fits with a few centimetres to spare so it sits flat and steady.
Look for non-slip feet
Rubber feet grip a wet floor. Check that all four feet touch the surface when the height is set. Wipe the feet dry between uses.
Pick a backrest and arms
A backrest gives support while sitting, and arms help with standing up. Users with less balance often prefer a chair with both.
Think about adjustable height
A seat that is about 40 to 50 cm (16 to 20 in) high suits many adults. Adjustable height lets the seat fit different users and tubs.
Where do shower seats work best?
Shower seats work best in standard tubs and walk-in showers where the user wants to sit while washing. A bathtub chair with a backrest suits a long shower. A stool suits a short one. Shoppers who need a bathroom setup can also compare bath accessories.
Rolling shower commode chairs work best in homes where one chair does two jobs. A caregiver can wheel the chair from the bedside to the shower. Browse our health and mobility range for more daily living aids.
Transfer benches work best for tubs with high sides, where stepping over is hard. Users who also need help walking can see our mobility aids for canes and support.
How do you set up and care for a shower seat?
Set up the seat on a flat, dry floor and check that every foot sits firmly. Lock the wheels on a rolling chair before anyone sits. Rinse the seat with mild soap and warm water after use, and dry the frame to protect it. Replace worn rubber feet before they lose grip.
Shipping and returns: orders over $150 ship free across Canada, and delivery details show on each product page. Unused items in original packaging can be returned within 14 days of delivery under our return policy.
Please note: Shower seats are designed to help with sitting steadily while bathing. They do not replace advice from a doctor or occupational therapist. Ask a health professional which chair suits your needs.
Bath seat FAQs
What is a bath chair?
A seat for a tub or shower is designed to help with sitting steadily while bathing. Many call it a shower chair or bath seat. Most have non-slip feet and some have a backrest, arms or wheels.
What is the difference between a bath chair and a transfer bench?
A shower seat sits inside the tub or shower. A transfer bench has legs on both sides of the tub edge. The user sits down outside and slides in. Pick a bench for tubs with high sides.
Can a shower seat be used as a commode?
Some can. Rolling shower commode chairs have an opening and a removable pail. They work at the bedside and in the shower. Check the product page to confirm a chair has commode features.
How high should a shower seat be?
Most adults sit comfortably on a seat about 40 to 50 cm (16 to 20 in) high. Adjustable height chairs let you set the seat so feet rest flat on the floor. Always check the range on the product page.
Are bath seats safe on wet floors?
Chairs with rubber non-slip feet are designed to grip wet surfaces. Set the chair on a flat floor, check every foot, and dry the feet between uses. Replace worn feet right away.
How much weight can a shower seat hold?
Weight ratings vary by model, and several chairs here list 300 lb (136 kg). Choose a chair rated above the user's weight, and read the rating on the product page before you order.
