What to Look out for When Choosing a Shower Seat?

Size

When purchasing for a shower seat for your specific needs, it is advisable to first check the overall size of the shower seat. A chair that's too large may not fit through your shower door or could leave you with too little space to move about in your shower. A chair that's too small, on the other hand, might be uncomfortable or even unsafe to sit on.


Overall Design

A traditional shower seat consists of a seat, a backrest, armrests and four legs and looks a lot like a regular chair. However, for people who require less support, a chair with a seat only (no backrest or armrests) or a shower stool may be sufficient.


Feet Position

Next, take note of how high the seat is above the ground. Ideally, your feet should be able to rest firmly on the floor in sake of balance. If a shower chair has a footrest, you can measure how high it comes off the ground so you can sit comfortably too. Of course, you can also consider height-adjustable chairs, which can cope with the demands of people of all heights.


Materials

Most shower seats come as standard with rubber feet, aluminum legs and a durable plastic seat with back support. The rubberized feet are essential for grip and preventing sliding, aluminum and plastic construction enables these chairs to be lighter in weight for easy movement.

Weight Capacity

For stability and safety, you need to factor in the seat's weight capacity. Although many shower seats on the market can accommodate 300 pounds or more, some aren't designed to support that much weight, thus the load capacity cannot be overlooked.


In conclusion, the selection of shower seats should be based on both the actual needs of individuals and the spatial layout. Oceanwell has a range of shower seats to suit your diverse needs, welcome to consult!
