Frequently Asked Questions

How does a transfer bench work?
A transfer bench straddles the side of the bathtub, with two legs inside the tub and two legs on the bathroom floor. The user sits on the outside portion of the bench and slides across the seat into the tub without stepping 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.

Will this bench fit my bathtub?
This bench is designed to fit standard bathtubs. The height adjusts from 16 to 21 inches in 1-inch increments to accommodate different tub wall heights. Measure your tub wall height before purchasing to confirm compatibility. The seat is 25.5 inches wide, so ensure your bathroom has sufficient floor space alongside the tub for the outside legs to rest securely.

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, accommodating both left-hand and right-hand tub configurations without purchasing a separate version.

How do I ensure the bench is stable and will not 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.
