Remain seated while bathing and minimize the chance of a slip or fall accident. Wall-mounted, fold-down or removable shower seats provide relaxed seating for those who are unstable on their feet or require showering in a seated position.

Shower seats help seniors or the mobility-challenged have more stability and comfort in the shower. It is considerably easier to sit down on a shower seat and feel secure instead of standing up and moving around, especially when the floor is wet and slippery.

Wall-mounted, fold-down, four-legged, or removable shower seats provide relaxed seating and safety while washing, shaving or simply taking a break from the task of standing up straight under hot water.

For overall bathing safety and usability, we typically recommend that our clients think about adding these safety options to their project:

• Have the tub and shower water controls closer to the entry-point so they can be reached from outside the tub/shower area.

• Install lever handles.

• Have a grab bar / shelf combo installed for soap, shampoos and towels.

• Have the water pressure controlled and install anti-scald controls.

• Add light to the shower stall if there isn’t one.
