Swivel Shower Chair

Q: How does a swivel shower chair work? You sit down facing out of the tub or shower, pull the release, and turn the seat so you face the water, then lift your legs in. The seat rotates 360 degrees and locks, so you never twist your body on a wet floor.

Q: How much weight does this swivel shower chair hold? It supports up to 400 lbs.

Q: What height does the shower chair adjust to? The seat adjusts from 16 to 19 inches in four settings, so you can set it so your feet rest flat on the tub floor.

Q: Is a swivel shower chair better than a tub transfer bench? A swivel chair is a good in-between choice if you can step into the tub but turning feels risky. If you cannot safely step over the tub wall at all, use a tub transfer bench instead.

Q: Does it fit in a bathtub? Yes, it fits most bathtubs and walk-in showers. Measure the inside width of your tub floor before ordering; the chair is about 19 inches wide.

Q: Is it safe to sit while showering? Yes, it is safer for anyone with balance problems or low endurance. MedlinePlus advises sitting on a bath chair or bench when taking a shower.
