Product Details

The Merlin Bath Seat is a dependable and straightforward bathing aid, ideal for individuals who need support while washing but struggle to stand or lower themselves safely into a bath. It provides a stable seating platform that increases comfort and reduces risk of slips or fatigue.

Constructed from reinforced PVC, the seat features tapered slats for fast water drainage and large suction pads with easy-release tabs to secure it firmly to the base of the bath. This reliable base remains steady during use, even when shifting or supporting weight.

One of the key features of the Merlin Bath Seat is that it comes in three different height options. This allows users or carers to choose the most appropriate height for individual needs and bath depth. Whether someone requires just a little lift or prefers to sit higher for easier access, there's a version to suit most situations.

The structured surface is comfortable, non-slip, and waterproof, making it both practical and hygienic. At only about 2.5 kg in weight, it’s easy to carry and place into position. The seat supports a maximum user weight of around 160 kg (25 stone), making it suitable for a wide range of users.

    Affordable and practical shower solution

    Review by C. O'Regan Posted on 08/07/2024 13:27:29
    I am really pleased with the merlin bath seat (12"). There was no assembly needed and it fitted perfectly into my bath tub. It's a very sturdy stool and won't move or slide on the bath surface. It's made such a difference being able to shower by myself now and not worry about falling or standing for too long. Very good value for what you get.

    Great just the job, in hindsight I should have ordered the 6inch one but none the less am very pleased with this product, very well made and feels safe to sit on doesn’t slip or rock, good strong suction cups which are easy to release from the bath.

    Works well

    Review by C Ripley Posted on 08/02/2022 17:56:59
    I have not been able to take a bath in months only shower. Due to a medical condition (one of many) I need to sit in water. As I was stuck in the bath (how embarrassing) before my husband and son had to lift me out. My stool has made life bearable again as I can get in and out of the bath on my own. A little bit of independence back. Thank you!

    Just the job

    Review by V Fifield Posted on 06/07/2021 21:32:39
    Bought the bath seat to help my husband, who has a disability, to bathe independently. Takes a little time to get used to showering while sitting but definitely much safer than standing. The seat (12”) is very sturdy, easy to clean and suckers on feet keep seat stable. Would recommend.

    Bath chair highly recommend

    Review by B Hyatt Posted on 09/05/2021 10:18:17
    It arrived quickly. I was able to get into the bath after two weeks due to a fractured leg. It's perfect for the extra height needed to lift out off the bath . Highly recommend this company.
