bath bench

Shower sitting aid

A bath bench is a waterproof seat that sits inside a bathtub or shower, allowing someone to bathe while seated.

Typically made of plastic or aluminum with a slatted surface for drainage, bath benches help elderly people, those recovering from surgery, or anyone with limited mobility bathe safely without standing: The physical therapist recommended a bath bench after her hip replacement.
