A bariatric sliding tub transfer bench is a perfect solution for someone who is not able to scoot while seated and is over 300 pounds. Simply sit down, strap seat belt, bring legs over the edge of the tub, and slide over into the tub. The bench has a seat safety lock so sliding doesn’t happen while bathing.
A sliding tub transfer bench is great for those who have limited mobility or trunk balance where scooting on a tub transfer bench would be too challenging.
Using a sliding tub transfer bench is a great way to promote safety and maximum independence during bathing.

"I highly recommend the Bariatric Sliding Tub Transfer Bench for anyone looking to enhance bathroom safety and support independence. This transfer bench is specifically designed to reduce the risk of falls—a major concern for older adults, particularly in the bathroom, where surfaces are often wet and slippery.
The sliding feature of this bench allows individuals to easily move from outside the tub to inside without the need step over the tub’s edge, significantly minimizing the risk of losing balance or slipping. This feature also increases independence, as users can confidently manage their transfers with minimal assistance.
Moreover, the sliding motion helps reduce friction and shearing, which is crucial for those with fragile or sensitive skin. By eliminating the need for scooting or dragging, the bench helps protect the skin from potential damage during transfers.
The Bariatric Sliding Tub Transfer Bench is a well-designed, essential tool for promoting safety, comfort, and autonomy in the bathroom for older adults, making it an invaluable addition to any home care plan."
