SPECIAL OFFER folding shower seat with back

Product Details

This folding shower seat is designed to make washing safer and less tiring for people with reduced mobility. It allows the user to sit securely while showering or bathing, helping to reduce the risk of slips, fatigue, or loss of balance. It is particularly suitable for elderly or disabled users who find standing for long periods difficult, or who struggle to rise from a low bath.

The seat surface is made from high-density polyethylene, offering a comfortable, supportive feel that is also durable and easy to keep clean. Drainage holes allow water to run through freely, reducing pooling on the surface. Built-in side handles give the user something solid to hold while adjusting their position or standing up.

Lightweight aluminium legs make the bench easy to move, while the folding design allows it to be stored away neatly when not in use. Height adjustment is simple thanks to a push-button system, allowing the seat to be raised or lowered to suit the user and the bathing area. Rubber suction feet on each leg help keep the bench securely in place on the bath or shower floor. A version with a detachable backrest is also available for users who need extra upper body support.

    Sturdy and lightweight

    Review by A. Lucas Posted on 28/08/2025 16:54:56
    Bought this to take on holiday as it folds up, and if you remove the feet (which are very simple to remove and attach) it's even less bulky. I use a shower stool at home but it doesn't fold so it would take up too much space in the car boot. When I received this one I was impressed by how sturdy and secure it feels to sit on because it is not at all heavy. the only thing it's missing is a handy bag to store it in, but apart from that small criticism it's ideal for travel.

    Perfect

    Review by CJ Posted on 01/07/2025 12:27:36
    I couldn't make my mind up to get one with or without a back on it, however decided to get the one with the back rest. Felt safer seated whilst showering. The seat did not slip or slide whilst using it. I have this on its highest setting and it's ideal. My knee gives way a lot so this item will really help with safety when showering. Folds for storage, however I have left mine in its seat position in the shower and it looks fine. Delivered two days after ordering. Will certainly check out essential aids again if I need any other items.

    Superb

    Review by s. murray Posted on 12/08/2024 19:13:04
    The shower stool that I bought, is very sturdy, yet neat and unobtrusive. the fact that it folds up is really good as it means it doesn't dominate the bathroom.

    Very satisfied

    Review by Bryan Routledge Posted on 27/03/2013 09:34:38
    Purchase of the foldable shower stool was our first transaction with essential aids, but I am happy to report that my wife is most satisfied with the product, for quality and use. The prompt service from placement of order to delivery was commendable and deserving of the highest rating.
