How to choose the right shower seat

Folding seats are the more flexible choice for most bathrooms, since they can be lifted out of the way for ambulant users, wheelchair transfers, or cleaning, and only lowered when seated showering is needed. A fixed seat makes sense where the bathroom is dedicated to a resident who needs seated showering at every use, since there's no benefit to a folding mechanism and one less moving part to maintain.

Size the seat to the room and the user: a compact 355mm or 470mm seat suits a standard shower recess, while the larger 960mm Changing Places and accessible formats give more surface area and are intended for purpose-built larger accessible bathrooms. Check whether a grab handle is built into the seat model you're considering, or whether you'll need to pair it with a separate grab rail for full support.

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose a folding or fixed shower seat?
A folding seat lifts flush against the wall when not in use, freeing floor space for ambulant users or wheelchair access. A fixed seat stays in place permanently, which suits bathrooms used mainly by residents who need seated showering every time.
What is a Changing Places shower seat?
It's a larger-format folding shower seat, typically 960mm long, designed for facilities that provide Changing Places accessible bathrooms for people who need more space and a larger seat surface than a standard accessible bathroom provides.
What's the difference between a phenolic and a compact laminate seat top?
Both are dense, water-resistant board materials commonly used for wet-area seating. They're offered in different colours across this range, so the choice often comes down to matching your bathroom's colour scheme and the specific product's frame configuration.
