Bath and toilet aids at a glance
Types of bathroom safety equipment in this collection
The range has five types: benches and stools, shower chairs, raised toilet seats, bedside commodes, and transfer aids.
Shower benches and stools
Shower benches and stools give a seat inside the shower for people who tire when standing. Teak wood benches from 18 to 30 in (46 to 76 cm) are the largest group. Many add a storage shelf or adjustable foot pads. Moulded plastic benches add a handle. Check each product page for seat size and weight rating.
Shower chairs
Shower chairs add a backrest, and many have padded arms for support. Several designs are height adjustable with non-slip feet and tool-free assembly. Rolling shower chairs with a commode opening do two jobs. Ratings in product titles reach 300 to 350 lb (136 to 159 kg). Pick a chair that fits your tub or shower floor.
Raised toilet seats
Raised toilet seats add 2 in (5 cm) or 4 in (10 cm) of height. The extra height is designed to help with sitting down and standing up. Options include padded arms, locking clamps, hinged lids and removable arms. Titles list ratings from 300 to 400 lb (136 to 181 kg). Check that the seat shape matches your toilet.
Bedside commodes
Bedside commodes, also called commode chairs, place a toilet beside the bed. Night-time use and limited mobility are common reasons to choose one. Many are 3-in-1 or 4-in-1 designs that also work as a raised toilet seat or shower chair. Folding models with a detachable bucket store easily, and wheeled versions have locking casters. Check the product page for the weight rating.
Transfer benches, grab bars and rails
Sliding and padded transfer benches are designed to help with tub entry. Ratings reach 300 to 350 lb (136 to 159 kg). Stainless steel and chrome grab bars have rotating flanges. Lengths run from 12 to 32 in (30 to 81 cm). Clamp-on tub bars and toilet safety rails offer no-drill options.
Check each product page for exact sizes, weight capacity and assembly details.
How do you choose bathroom safety equipment?
Choose a product by matching the weight rating, fit and fixing method to the user and the room.
Check the weight rating
Compare the stated rating with the user's weight and leave a margin. Ratings in this range run from about 250 to 400 lb (115 to 180 kg). Each product page lists its rating, so choose a heavy-duty model when in doubt.
Measure the space
Measure the tub rim, shower floor and toilet area before ordering. A shower bench needs floor space at least as wide as its seat. A tub transfer bench must span the tub walls. Leave clear room beside the toilet for a commode or safety rail.
Match the fixing method
Screw-fixed grab bars go into wall studs or solid backing. Clamp-on tub bars fit the tub edge without drilling. Suction and screw fixings are not interchangeable. Check which method each product uses and what surface it needs.
Think about height and support
Adjustable legs fit different users. A raised toilet seat adds 2 to 4 in (5 to 10 cm). Padded arms and a backrest add support for longer sitting. Pick the features that match the user's strength and balance.
Where does bath safety equipment help most?
Older adults at home use bath safety equipment most often. A shower chair or bench is designed to help with standing fatigue. A raised toilet seat helps with sitting and standing. Add a grab bar beside the tub for extra grip. Browse mobility aids for more daily living support.
Recovery at home after surgery or an injury is another common use. Temporary seats and rails can make bathing easier while strength returns. See health and mobility for related items such as rollators and walkers.
Caregivers and shared households also benefit from clearly rated equipment. A bedside commode helps at night. Browse gifts for seniors and caregivers for practical presents.
How do you set up and care for bath safety equipment?
Assemble each item exactly as the instructions say, then test it on a dry floor before first use. Check that rubber feet sit flat and that every bolt is tight. Wipe teak, plastic and metal with mild soap and water, then dry the surface. Replace worn feet promptly, and stop using any item that is cracked or wobbly.
Shipping and returns: Orders over $150 ship free across Canada. Delivery details show on each product page. Returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery, see our refund policy.
Please note: This equipment is designed to help with daily bathroom routines and does not replace medical advice. Ask a healthcare professional, such as an occupational therapist, which products suit your needs. Follow the assembly and weight limit guidance on each product page.
Bathroom safety FAQs
What bathroom safety equipment do seniors need most?
Most older adults gain the most from a shower chair or bench, a raised toilet seat and grab bars. Non-slip surfaces and good lighting also matter. A professional can help match equipment to a person's balance, strength and bathroom layout.
What is the difference between a shower chair and a shower bench?
A shower chair has a backrest and often padded arms. A shower bench is a seat without a back. A transfer bench is longer and spans the tub wall, so the user can slide in. Choose by balance, space and how easily the user gets in.
How high should a raised toilet seat be?
Raised seats in this range add 2 in (5 cm) or 4 in (10 cm). Choose the height that lets the feet rest flat with knees near a right angle. If you are unsure, ask an occupational therapist or pharmacist before you buy.
How do I choose the right size shower chair or bench?
Measure the shower floor or tub, the seat width you need and the weight rating you require. Teak benches in this range run from 18 to 30 in (46 to 76 cm). Leave room to step in, and confirm the weight capacity on the product page.
How do I clean and care for bath safety equipment?
Wipe each item with mild soap and water, then dry it. Rinse teak and let it air dry. Check rubber feet, bolts and clamps every month, and replace worn parts. Stop using any item that is cracked, bent or unstable until it is repaired or replaced.
Do bathroom safety products come with a warranty?
Warranty terms can differ by product, so check the warranty information on each product page before you order. Returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery for unused items in their original packaging. Keep the box until you are sure the item fits your bathroom.
