  • If getting into the bath or lowering yourself down is difficult, explore Bath Seats & Boards.
  • If you need something secure to hold when standing or transferring, consider Bathroom Grab Rails.
  • If sitting down or standing from the toilet requires extra effort, compare Raised Toilet Seats and Toilet Surrounds.
  • If you need both arm support and additional toilet height, look at Commodes & Over Toilet Frames.
  • If reaching the bathroom is difficult, particularly at night, explore Commodes, Urinals & Toileting Aids.
  • If slippery shower or bath surfaces are a concern, consider Shower & Bath Mats.
  • If bending, reaching or gripping makes personal care difficult, browse Bathroom Accessories such as long handled washing aids and tap turners.

Before purchasing, check the dimensions of your bathroom, product height, user weight capacity, installation requirements and the level of physical support required.

 

Shower Chairs and Stools 

Shower stools are an ideal addition to any bathroom that provide stability and support for those who require assistance in the shower. Shower Chairs and stools are made from durable materials, with height adjustable legs and non-slip feet to ensure it stays securely in place during every shower. 

These bathroom seating solutions are particularly beneficial for older individuals, people with disabilities, those recovering from surgeries, and anyone experiencing balance or mobility challenges.

Bath Seats & Bath Boards

Bath Boards make having a bath a lot easier for people who have difficulty getting in and out, and lowering themselves into the bathtub. It is suitable for people with limited leg strength, mobility and bariatric users. The bath board rests on either side of the bath and is held in place securely by two adjustable brackets. Once the board is secure, the user is able to sit on the board to bathe, without the need to lower their body down. 

Shower & Bath Mats

Shower Mats are important items to place and attach to your shower floor. It is designed with a non-slip surface and suction grips that allows it to securely attach to the shower floor, so you can stand in the shower without slipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some frequently asked questions about BetterCareMarket's Bathroom Aids:

A shower stool provides a compact seat for someone who mainly needs to reduce standing time. A shower chair usually offers a larger seat and additional support such as a backrest or armrests. Check the individual design, dimensions and weight capacity before choosing.
A bath board rests across the top of the bath and lets you sit without lowering yourself to the bottom. A bath seat sits within the bath at a lower level. Your ability to transfer, the bath dimensions and how much support you need will determine which option is more suitable.
Choose according to the difficulty you are trying to solve. A raised toilet seat reduces how far you need to lower yourself. A toilet surround gives you armrests to push from when sitting or standing. Some users benefit from both height and arm support.
A commode is useful when reaching the bathroom is difficult, tiring or unsafe. It can provide toileting access closer to the bed or another convenient location, including during night time routines or recovery after surgery.
Consider where you need support, how much weight you expect to place through the rail, the wall or surface type and the installation method. Fixed grab rails generally require secure installation. Portable or suction models must only be used according to their individual instructions and limitations.
A non slip mat adds grip but does not remove every falls risk. Good bathroom safety can also involve suitable footwear, grab rails, shower seating, clear floor space and appropriate assistance depending on the person's mobility and balance.
Yes. Tap turners, long handled washers, lotion applicators and other Bathroom Accessories can reduce gripping, twisting and difficult reaching. Choose the aid according to the exact movement or task that causes difficulty.
Some commodes, toilet supports, shower chairs and bath aids are designed for higher user weights. Always check the stated maximum user weight, seat dimensions and overall product specifications rather than choosing on appearance alone.
Common options include shower chairs, raised toilet seats, over toilet frames and suitable grab rails because they can reduce prolonged standing, deep sitting and difficult transfers. Your physiotherapist or occupational therapist can advise which equipment matches your recovery requirements.
