Bath Transfer Bench with Sliding Swivel Seat 136kg

Slide across the bath without stepping over the edge

The Bath Transfer Bench with Sliding Swivel Seat 136kg lets you sit down outside the bath, then slide and turn the seat into place over the tub. You never have to lift your legs over the bath wall while standing, which is often the moment balance gives way.

Why a sliding, rotating seat helps

A standard bath board still asks you to swing your legs over the edge from a fixed seat. On this bench the seat moves along rails and turns a full 360 degrees. You can sit facing the room, slide across, then turn to face the taps. A carer can guide the seat as it moves instead of taking your weight.

Secure while you wash

Foam padded armrests give you something firm to hold, and they flip up when you want to slide on or off from the side. A seat belt adds extra security. The textured plastic seat and backrest are non-slip, and drainage holes stop water pooling under you.

Steady on the bathroom floor

The lightweight aluminium frame stands on a wide base with suction cups and non-slip tips. The legs adjust in height to suit your bath.

Is this bath transfer bench right for you?

• Usually suits: people who find stepping over the bath wall unsafe, and carers helping someone in and out of a shower over bath.
• Check first: the user's weight must be under 136kg. The bench needs floor space on both sides of the bath wall (87.4cm long overall at its highest setting), so check your bath and any shower screen.
• Not included: a hand held shower, which makes washing while seated much easier.
• Assembly: minor assembly is required.

We recommend speaking with your healthcare provider or occupational therapist about the safest way for you to bathe.

Choosing the right fit for your bath

1. Measure the bath wall height. Measure from the floor to the top of the bath rim. The bench gives up to 44.4cm of clearance, so the rim needs to sit below that. Email us your measurement if it's close.
2. Check the seat height. The seat adjusts from 47.7 to 57.8cm. Sitting with feet flat on the floor and knees at about a right angle makes transfers easier.
3. Look at the bath edge. A fixed glass screen or a wide tiled hob can stop the bench sitting square. Send us a photo if you're unsure.
