Lumex Bariatric Tub Transfer Bench, Heavy-Duty Shower & Bathtub Chair, Extra-Wide Seat, 600 lb. Limit
Lumex bariatric tub transfer bench rated to 600 lb, with a 26.75 by 16.25 inch seat and 16 to 20 inch tool-free height adjustment. A premium big and tall pick.
A tall shower bench is a raised seat designed for use in the shower or tub, with a higher seat height than standard models. It helps tall people because a low bench forces the knees up and makes standing harder, while a taller seat keeps the hips and legs at a more natural angle. When shopping, check the adjustable height range and the maximum seat height, then confirm the weight capacity for safe use. Look for a rust-resistant aluminum frame, non-slip rubber feet, and drainage holes in the seat. A textured or contoured seat improves grip when wet, and optional armrests or a backrest add stability and comfort for longer showers.
