5 shower chairs that will give you (and your loved one) peace of mind

By Julie Scagell

If you are a caregiver or worry about a senior in your life living on their own and the risks that come with age and falling, you’ve likely already done some homework on household safety items that can help. One of the rooms that can cause the most falls is the bathroom, where slippery floors and showers can leave seniors vulnerable and at risk for serious injury. Before you buy, you want to know an item is well-reviewed and has been tried and tested. We found five shower chairs on Amazon that will help give you and your loved one peace of mind when showering; and allow them to continue to live independently for many years to come.

If your loved one is hesitant to add a shower chair because of how it will look, check out this gorgeous, Japanese-inspired wood shower chair that would look stunning in any setting. It is backless, easy to maneuver, and light weight. The durable material will stand up to the moisture in the air and has enforce, wide legs so there is no worry about slipping when sitting or standing.

Medokare’s lightweight, padded chair is widely reviewed for a reason. It’s one of the most purchased and sturdy shower chairs, holding up to 280 pounds. It’s slender, so it fits well into small shower stalls. It also features handles, a removable back, and plastic feet on the bottom of the legs so it will stay put when you need it. The padded seat is ideal for those who like to take their time in the shower.

This non-slip transfer bench helps when getting into or out of the shower or bath. Whether your loved one is getting on in age, had recent surgery, or feels unstable on their feet at times, this bench will allow them to feel confident when they get ready in the morning. The plastic is easy to clean and the hand rail is there for added support should they need it.

If you’re looking for a simple, no fuss stool, this is it. Just adjust the leg height to get the seat where you want it, and that’s it. This also has a padded seat, so it’s comfortable as well. This chair comes with a free tote bag, so you can store everything you need – from soap to shampoo to conditioner – within arm’s reach. This bench supports up to 280 pounds.

If you’re looking for a shower chair that has it all, it’s this one. The suction feet will stay in place no matter how long the shower runs. It’s adjustable in height and the back support can be taken off or put on depending on a person’s needs. At less than five pounds, it can be easily placed in the shower and taken out when not needed. It also has a grip for a shower head, so you can keep it beside you while you shower.

All of these shower chairs will help your loved ones feel confident when they are in the shower and when they’re transferring to and from wet floors.
