Simply stated, a &_benches" shower bench , shower chair, or shower stool is a level seating area that allows you to sit in a comfortable position while bathing.  A shower bench can be either built-in (at construction or through costly remodeling) or portable.  A portable shower bench has a back rest for optimal support and comfort and a fairly large seating area.  Many of these shower benches have padded seats and offer seat height adjustments to accommodate every member of the family.  These benches work best in shower/bathtub combinations, where they fit completely inside the tub area.  Shower benches are made from water resistant materials such as hard plastic and metal and are easy to clean.

&_benches" Shower stools are another cost-effective way to make your bathroom safer.  These backless models are the smaller, less bulky cousins of the shower bench, ideal for use in smaller spaces such as a shower stall.  Shower stools offer the same safety benefits, waterproof materials, and easy cleanup as the benches, just in a smaller package.

A &_benches" shower chair has all the best features of the shower bench and the shower stool.  Usually the shower chair seat size resembles that of the stool, but it offers a back rest for better support.  These shower chairs are available in many styles and are a great portable option to keep your family safe.

Everyday many of us are faced with moving our aging parents into our homes—emotional enough without worrying about the cost of a total bathroom overhaul.  In today's economy it may not be possible to spend thousands of dollars on a walk-through tub or a permanent shower remodel.  Time is also a concern as you will need to find a contractor, get worked into his schedule, and then have the work completed.  Suppose an illness or injury comes on suddenly and you have a week until your parent is released from the hospital and into you care.  Major renovation is simply impossible. Portable shower benches, shower stools, and shower chairs offer a safe, fast, convenient and cost-effective way to protect those we love.
