Ideal For

This transfer bench is well suited for individuals with limited mobility, balance impairment, or post-surgical restrictions who cannot safely step over a bathtub wall and need a supported, sliding transfer method to enter and exit the tub. The folding design makes it a practical choice for users who share a bathroom and need to store the bench out of the way when not in use, or for caregivers who transport the bench between locations. Occupational therapists and home health aides working with patients on bathroom safety will appreciate the included seat belt and safety net, which reduce fall risk and minimize the need for bending during bathing. It is also appropriate for assisted living facilities and rehabilitation settings where a versatile, easy-to-store transfer bench is needed for patient care.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the sliding seat work?
The seat slides laterally along the bench frame, allowing the user to sit on the outside edge of the tub, then slide across into the bathing position without stepping over the tub wall. This significantly reduces the risk of falls during tub entry and exit.

Does the bench fit both left- and right-handed tub configurations?
The universal design is intended to accommodate standard bathtub configurations. Measure your tub opening and confirm the bench dimensions fit your specific setup before ordering.

What does the safety net do?
The safety net is positioned beneath the seat to catch soap, washcloths, or other personal items that may be dropped during bathing. This eliminates the need to bend over to retrieve items from the tub floor, reducing fall risk during the bath.

Does this bench fold completely flat?
Yes — the bench folds flat for storage and transport, making it practical for smaller bathrooms or for users who need to move the bench in and out of the bathroom regularly.
