Shower Chair With Back
A shower chair with a backrest, supporting you at the moment most shower falls happen.
Why this one
Support where falls happen
A backrest supports you when tilting the head back to wash hair, which is the most common moment for a shower fall.
Comfortable for longer
Makes a longer shower comfortable rather than something to rush, which matters if washing is slow.
Adjustable height
Height adjustable legs with non-slip tips, set so the feet rest flat with knees at a right angle.
Arms if rising is hard
A back does not help with standing up. Choose the version with arms if rising is the difficulty.
About this product
A shower chair with a backrest. This is the version most people should buy, and the back is the reason.
Why the back matters more than it looks
Washing your hair means tilting your head back, raising both arms, and closing your eyes against the water. At that moment you have no visual reference, your centre of gravity has moved backwards, and both hands are occupied.
That is the single most common moment for a fall in the shower, and a backrest is what catches it. On a stool or a backless seat there is nothing behind the person at all.
The back also makes a longer shower comfortable rather than something to get through quickly, which matters for anyone who washes slowly or needs to rest partway.
Where it fits
A chair with a back takes more depth than a stool, so check the cubicle before ordering. In a standard shower or over a bath it is rarely a problem.
Setting it up
Adjust the legs so the feet rest flat with the knees at roughly a right angle, and confirm all four are set identically and locked. Non-slip tips grip the shower floor, and drainage holes in the seat stop water pooling.
If standing up is the difficulty
A back supports you while seated but gives nothing to push up from. If rising is the hard part, look at the version with arms, which is a small step up in price and the feature that actually solves it.
Also worth knowing
Add a handheld shower head. A fixed overhead shower is aimed at someone standing, so seated it sprays the wall rather than the person.
