Why seats in the shower and bathtub can help many people

一、Physical limitations

Decreased strength or balance: Many disabilities and chronic diseases can cause people to have reduced overall strength or balance, making it difficult to stand in the shower. Even for people with systemic or partial tremors, sitting down to take a shower is more comfortable and safer than standing, and the seat in the shower or bathtub can meet their needs for sitting and taking a shower.

二、Preventing the risk of slips and falls

Slips or falls during bathing can cause serious injuries, especially for the elderly, such as hip or other fractures, which may also cause secondary diseases. The seats in the shower room, such as high-quality freestanding shower chairs, are made of materials suitable for humid environments and are equipped with rubber or plastic feet for anti-slip, which can effectively reduce the risk of slips.

三、Adapting to different bathroom spaces

1.Freestanding seats: There are different styles to choose from, such as shower chairs that may come with a backrest and armrests as standard, providing more support but taking up space; shower stools have three legs and four legs, and four legs are more stable but may be larger. Most of them are adjustable in height, which can be adjusted according to factors such as the user's flexibility and ability to stand or sit. You can also choose the right style according to the available floor space in the shower room (such as high stools are suitable for people who have difficulty sitting and standing and need a high seat, but pay attention to its floor space).

2.Foldable fixed seats: When the shower room is small, foldable seats are a good choice, such as wall-mounted shower seats, some of which can be flipped, some have hinged legs to support the ground, and some can be folded and placed in the corner of the cubicle, saving space and suitable for shower cubicles shared by multiple people, but professionals are required to install wall-mounted seats.

四、Improve bathing comfort

1.Reduce physical pressure: Bath seats can shorten the moving distance from standing to sitting position, reducing the pressure on the body during the transition; bathtub seats can raise the height of the bathtub floor and reduce the physical exertion required when using the bathtub; shower and bathtub boards span the width of the bathtub, which can also reduce the weight of people's feet, thereby reducing physical pressure.

2.Provide additional support: Armrests installed next to the seat, whether straight, curved or angled, can provide safety and improve stability when getting up and sitting down. They can be installed next to the shower, bathtub, toilet or washbasin, and their low-key design can also blend in with bathroom furniture.
