Transfer Benches

Transfer benches are essential for individuals who experience difficulty getting in and out of the bathtub or shower. These benches straddle the side of the tub, allowing the user to sit down outside the tub and then slide across the bench into the bathing area, significantly reducing the risk of slips and falls.

Features of Transfer Benches

• Adjustable height: Transfer benches often come with adjustable legs to accommodate different tub heights and user needs.
• Non-slip surfaces: Both the seat and the legs are equipped with non-slip materials to provide additional safety and stability.
• Reversible backrest: Many models feature a reversible or removable backrest to suit the layout of your bathroom.
• Durability: Constructed from high-quality, water-resistant materials, transfer benches are built to withstand daily use in wet environments.
• Drainage holes: Some benches have drainage holes to prevent water accumulation and enhance user comfort.
