Frequently Asked Questions

How does a transfer bench work?
A transfer bench straddles the side of the bathtub — two legs sit inside the tub and two legs sit outside on the bathroom floor. The user sits on the outside portion of the bench, then slides across the seat into the tub without having to step over the tub wall. This eliminates the high-risk step-over motion that causes most bathtub falls, making it the recommended solution for users with limited mobility, balance issues, or fall risk. The bench remains in place during bathing, providing a stable seated surface throughout.

Will this bench fit my bathtub?
This bench is designed to fit standard bathtubs. The height adjusts from 16" to 21" to accommodate different tub wall heights, and the Dual Column extension system allows precise 1" increment adjustments. Measure your tub wall height before purchasing to confirm the bench height range is compatible. The seat is 25.5" wide — ensure your bathroom has sufficient space alongside the tub for the outside legs to rest on the floor.

Can this bench be used for a left-hand or right-hand tub entry?
Yes. The armrest is reversible and can be positioned on either side of the bench, allowing it to accommodate both left-hand and right-hand tub configurations. This makes it suitable for virtually any bathroom layout without purchasing a separate left or right version.

How do I ensure the bench is stable and won’t slip?
The bench features extra-large suction cups on the tub-side legs and rubberized feet on the floor-side legs. Before each use, press the suction cups firmly against the tub floor to activate the seal. Ensure the tub surface is clean and free of bath oils or residue that can reduce suction. Always confirm the bench feels stable and does not rock before transferring weight onto it.
