Bariatric Bedside Commode with Padded Seat and Adjustable Height

Sturdy, Comfortable, and Adjustable Bariatric Bedside Commode for safer toileting at home

Finding a toileting aid that is both strong and comfortable can be a significant challenge. For bariatric individuals, a standard commode often feels unstable and confining, adding unnecessary stress to daily routines. The fear of a commode not being supportive enough can undermine confidence and independence, particularly during the night when navigating to the bathroom is most difficult.

The Bariatric Bedside Commode with Padded Seat and Adjustable Height is engineered to provide a safe, stable, and comfortable solution. Its reinforced powder-coated steel frame and generous width between the arms (up to 65cm) offer peace of mind and a secure fit. The commode features plush padded armrests and a soft padded seat, which slides back easily to reveal the commode bowl. With its adjustable height, it can be customised for safer transfers from a bed or chair, reducing strain on both users and carers. A discreet vanity skirt conceals the bowl, allowing it to blend more naturally into the bedroom environment.

Why choose this Bariatric Bedside Commode?

• Reinforced for Bariatric Support: A wider, heavy-duty frame provides stability and accommodates a Safe Working Load of up to 200kg on wider models.
• Padded for Comfort: Features a soft, padded seat cover and supportive padded armrests, making it comfortable for regular use.
• Height Adjustable Frame: The seat height can be easily adjusted from 39cm to 54cm, allowing for safer and more comfortable transfers.

• Easy Access and Cleaning: The commode bowl is simple to remove for emptying and cleaning, ensuring hygiene is maintained with minimal effort.

Fit, setup and suitability

Before purchasing, it's important to ensure the right fit for your needs. This commode is available in several widths (50cm, 55cm, 60cm, and 65cm between the arms), so measure the user for a comfortable seating arrangement. Check the overall dimensions to ensure it will fit conveniently in your desired space, typically beside a bed. The seat height adjusts from 39cm to 54cm, so measure from the floor to the back of the user’s knee to find a suitable setting. Finally, check the user's weight against the Safe Working Load (SWL) of your chosen model to ensure safety.
