Shower Chairs and Stools

Shower chairs and stools for safer bathing each day

Shower chairs and stools are assistive devices designed to support and stabilise individuals who need assistance while showering or bathing. Bathroom seating is beneficial for individuals with mobility challenges, like older Australians, people with disabilities, individuals recovering from surgeries or injuries, and those with balance issues or weakness.

These tools are specifically designed to be used in wet environments and offer a range of benefits that promote accessibility, safety, and comfort in the bathroom.

At Active Mobility, we stock shower stools, chairs and benches made from durable materials, so Australians with mobility issues can shower safely. Shop online for fast, affordable shipping — we offer convenient payment options like Afterpay, so you can improve bathroom safety now and pay later.

Bathrooms chairs and stools for safety and stability

The bathroom can pose significant risks for individuals with mobility challenges due to wet and slippery surfaces. Shower chairs and stools provide a stable and secure seating solution, minimising the risk of falls and accidents while bathing. With features like non-slip rubber feet and secure locking mechanisms, these tools ensure individuals can shower confidently and reduce the risk of injury.

Other benefits of shower chairs and stools include: 

• Accessibility & Independence
  Bathroom chairs and stools enhance accessibility and promote independence by allowing you to sit comfortably while bathing. They eliminate the need to stand for long periods, making showering more manageable if you have limited balance, stamina, or mobility. 
  Shower stools allow you to maintain your personal hygiene independently, providing a safe and comfortable seating option and enhancing your overall sense of autonomy and well-being.
   
• Versatility & Customisation
  Shower chairs and stools are designed to be versatile and can be used in various showers or bathtubs. They are available in different sizes and styles to fit different spaces. Some models have compact designs suitable for small showers.
  Shower chairs may feature adjustable legs or seat heights, allowing you to customise the chair or stool to your desired comfort level. Some models have removable arms, backrests, or additional features like built-in handles or storage shelves for added convenience. 
  We offer freestanding shower seats and attachable shower benches, so you can choose an option that suits your specific requirements, ensuring optimal support and comfort while bathing.
  While shower chairs and stools are primarily designed for use in the bathroom, they can also be used in other areas where a stable and supportive seat is needed. For example, they can be used in dressing areas or as additional seating in the home.
  Plus, shower chairs are designed to accommodate various weight capacities — however, it's important to check the weight capacity specified by the manufacturer to ensure the chair or stool is suitable for the individual's needs.
   
• Hygiene & Easy Maintenance
  Maintaining good hygiene in the bathroom is essential for overall well-being. Bathroom seating is often constructed from durable, water-resistant materials that are easy to clean and maintain. They can be quickly wiped down or disassembled for a thorough cleaning, ensuring a hygienic bathing environment for individuals. 
  Plus, some models have drainage holes or mesh seats that prevent water from pooling, promoting better hygiene and reducing the risk of slips.
   
• Comfort & Relaxation
  Showering should be a comfortable and relaxing experience. Bathroom chairs and shower bench seats are designed with ergonomics in mind, providing a comfortable seating surface and proper support for your back and legs. 
  Some models have padded seats or backrests, enhancing comfort and reducing pressure on sensitive areas. Ensuring a comfortable and secure bathing position, these tools allow you to have a more pleasant and soothing shower experience.
   
• Assistance For Support Workers
  Shower chairs and stools not only benefit individuals with limited mobility but also provide assistance to support workers or family members. These tools make it easier for support workers to help while bathing, as they can assist from a seated position rather than bending or straining their own bodies in small spaces. 
  By reducing the physical demands on caregivers, shower chairs and stools contribute to a safer and more manageable caregiving experience.
