Removable Tub Seats/Transfer Benches It is believed that shower stools are unsafe and do not meet the intent of the Americans with Disabilities Act; therefore, a tub seat/transfer bench is a safer alternative to a shower stool. Features to look for: > Adjustable backrest with reversible direction of seat to accommodate any bathtub or shower > Grab bar for support and transfer > Suction cups for tub portion to assure placement stability when transferring > Height adjustability for differing tub heights, (17”-19” height) > Transfer portion of the seat that extends over the tub into the bathroom floor to allow for side transfer from wheelchair, etc. > Seat padding preferable for delicate skin, (15”-16” width) > Allows for a minimum weight of a 250 pound person The cost of the Tub Seats/Transfer Bench can range from $150.00-$250.00 and can be purchased at your local pharmacy, medical supplier or online.
