Two legs stand inside the tub and two stand outside, so a rider sits down on the dry half and slides across rather than stepping over the tub wall. Stepping over a wet tub wall is where most bathroom falls happen.

Overview
A bench that bridges the tub wall 300 lbs., with a soap dish and a shower holder

Sit down on the dry half, slide across, and never step over the tub wall.

Built for real life

What stands out

●
It bridges the tub wall
Two legs sit inside the tub and two outside. A rider sits down on the dry half, slides across and swings their legs over, which takes the standing step out of getting into a bath.
●
Reverses for either side
Nova build it to convert for a left or a right hand transfer, so the same bench works whether the rider comes at it from the left or the right.
●
A soap dish and a shower holder
Both come fitted, so a hand held shower hangs within reach and soap does not end up on the tub floor. This is what separates this bench from our standard one.
●
Height adjusts from 18.75 to 23.25 inches
The legs adjust, so the seat can be levelled with a wheelchair for a flat sideways transfer or dropped for a shorter rider.
●
Rubber inside, suction outside
Latex free rubber tips grip the tub floor and suction tips hold the outer legs to the bathroom floor, which is what stops the bench walking.
●
11.5 pounds
Light enough for one person to lift out of the tub and stand against a wall when somebody else wants a shower.
The Hieline Take

A transfer bench is the single piece of bathroom equipment that removes the most risk, because it takes away the movement that causes the falls: lifting one leg over a wet tub wall while balancing on the other. A bath seat helps you sit once you are in. A bench means you never have to get in standing up.

What decides whether this one works in your bathroom is the tub, not the rider. The bench is 33.25" wide overall and needs two legs planted flat inside the tub and two on the floor outside, so a tub with a sloped or rounded inner floor, a built-in seat or a tight alcove can defeat it. Measure the inside width of the tub and the height of the wall before you order, because this is not returnable. The soap dish and the shower holder on this model are the difference between it and our standard bench, and at $60 more they are worth it only if the shower is hand held.

Straight talk

Is it right for you?

A good fit if you

  • Anyone who cannot safely lift a leg over the tub wall while standing
  • A rider transferring sideways from a wheelchair into a bath
  • A bathroom with a hand held shower, which is what the built-in holder is for
  • A tub with a flat inner floor wide enough to take two legs

Look elsewhere if you

  • A walk-in shower with no tub wall to bridge, where a shower chair is the right buy
  • A tub with a sloped or rounded inner floor, or a built-in seat
  • A rider over 300 lbs., where our heavy duty bench is rated 500 lbs.
  • A bathroom with a fixed shower head, where the standard bench costs $60 less and does the same job
