Bathtub transfer benches help bathers get in and out of bathtubs. For persons with physical limitations, getting in and out of tubs can be an immense problem. Instead of having to step over the tub edge, these benches make it easy for people with disabilities to slide into them. People facing severe mobility problems can get into bathtubs with the aid of such transfer benches.

If, while bathing, sitting on the tub floor is difficult, there are a variety of portable tub seats, chairs, and benches available. These benches provide a safe and functional way to sit in the bathtub. Usually the seat height is adjustable and has a slip-resistant surface with drain holes.

Easy Access into The Bathtub

Bathtub transfer benches provide easy access into the tubs. These benches are designed, incorporating comfort and safety features. The height of the seats is adjustable and fit snugly inside the bathtubs. The legs are provided with slip-resistant rubber tips. These rubber tips also prevent marring of tub surfaces. Some benches fit into the tubs, some sit outside the tub, with extensions over the edge and bathers quietly slip over into the tub. Some benches have slots where bathtub curtains can be tucked into. Other than privacy, curtains ensure that water does not splash all over the bathroom.

Some models of bathtub transfer benches are wall mounted. These can be mounted onto the wall next to the bathtub without the need for wall reinforcement. These wall mounted units fold up easily for conventional bathtub use.

Benches are made of rust proof material like aluminum, vinyl and have plastic seats. Some have no metal parts to rust or corrode. Most are portable and can be disassembled for transfer.

Ensure that your bathtub transfer benches are American Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant to reduce bathtub slipping accidents.
