Fixed or folding
A wall-mounted seat provides a defined position and can often fold away to preserve floor space when it is not required.
- Stable fixed location
- Compact fold-up designs
- Wall structure must be suitable

A more manageable shower
Support where it matters most
Standing throughout a shower can be tiring or difficult for people with reduced balance, strength or mobility. A suitable shower seat provides a defined place to rest and can make washing feel safer and less physically demanding.
The best solution depends on how the user enters the shower, whether they transfer independently, how much support they require and whether the bathroom is shared with other people.
Some users need a compact folding seat. Others may benefit from armrests, a backrest, a hygiene aperture, additional width or a system that can move vertically and horizontally.

Start with how the seat will be used
Which type of shower seat is right for you?
Consider whether the seat needs to be permanent, movable, adjustable or designed around additional support and care needs.
Freestanding
A stool or movable seat can be repositioned or removed and does not require permanent wall mounting.
- Flexible positioning
- Suitable for shared bathrooms
- Can also support washbasin use
Height or track adjustable
Adjustable seating can be repositioned around the user, wheelchair transfer height or the requirements of a carer.
- Manual or electric adjustment
- Horizontal track movement
- Useful in multi-user rooms
Specialist care
Horseshoe, extra-wide and bariatric seats support more specific hygiene, care, positioning or weight-capacity requirements.
- Hygiene aperture options
- Arms, backs and support legs
- Reinforced seating available

Small details can make a significant difference
The required support should be considered alongside the main seat type. Arms, backs, padding and apertures can all affect everyday use.
Armrests
Can provide an additional surface for steadying, repositioning and pushing up during transfers.
Backrests
Provide rear support and may improve comfort for users who find unsupported sitting tiring.
Padding and warm-touch surfaces
May make the seat feel more comfortable, particularly during longer washing or assisted-care routines.
Apertures and additional width
Horseshoe openings, wider seats and reinforced frames support more specialist hygiene and positioning requirements.
Before ordering
Plan around the user and the room
Seat dimensions alone do not determine whether a product will work. Positioning, wall construction, transfers and required support should all be considered together.
Can the wall support it?
Fixed seats require suitable structural support and appropriate fixings for the wall construction.
What seat height is required?
Consider the user’s lower-leg length, wheelchair transfer height and whether more than one person will use the room.
How will the user transfer?
Check the approach direction, available floor space and position of grab rails, controls and shower fittings.
What load must it support?
Confirm the required user-weight capacity and never assume that different seat models have the same rating.
