Padded Bathtub Transfer Bench with Reversible Backrest — 400 lb Capacity

Description

Removes the step over the tub wall

Stepping over a bathtub wall is one of the most common ways people fall at home. A transfer bench spans the wall — two legs sit outside the tub, two sit inside — so the user sits down on the dry outside section, then slides across and swings their legs over. No standing, no stepping, no pivot on a wet surface.

Padded for longer showers

Unlike a bare plastic bench, this model carries 1½ inches of padding across both the seat and the backrest. That matters for anyone who sits through a full shower, or for users with reduced sensation, limited mobility or pressure-injury risk, where hard plastic becomes uncomfortable quickly. The padded surfaces also make the slide across the seat easier on the skin.

Reversible backrest, no tools

The backrest reverses by hand, with no tools and no hardware to lose, so the same bench works in a tub with the wall on the left or on the right. This is worth checking before you buy any bench — a fixed-back model that arrives facing the wrong way for your bathroom is not usable.

Stability and adjustment

The 1″ aluminum frame is rated to 400 lb (181 kg). All four legs adjust from 17.75″ to 21.75″ floor-to-seat in 1″ increments, which lets you level the bench across a tub rim and match the user’s chair or wheelchair height for a flush transfer. Extra-large suction cup feet grip the tub floor and the bathroom floor to resist sliding.
