Description
Goldfern Bathtub Seat with Backrest
The Goldfern Bathtub Seat provides a raised seated surface across a suitable bathtub, allowing the user to sit while bathing rather than lowering all the way to the bottom of the tub. Its lightweight aluminium frame supports a durable plastic seat, while the shaped backrest adds support behind the user.
The seat rests across the bath rather than requiring permanent wall fixing. Rubber grips on the support arms help hold it in position against suitable bathtub edges while protecting the tub surface.
Why Use an Over-Bath Seat?
A bathtub can be difficult to use when getting down to floor level and standing back up are the main challenges. An over-bath seat raises the sitting surface much closer to the rim of the tub, reducing the amount of vertical movement required.
It is different from a transfer bench: the seat spans the bath and is intended for seated bathing, but it does not provide the extended outside-the-tub platform found on a full transfer bench.
No Permanent Installation
The support arms sit across the bath rim, so the seat can be removed when it is not required. This can be useful in shared bathrooms or rental homes where a permanently fixed seat is not desirable.
Baths vary considerably in width, rim shape and surrounding fittings. The overall width is approximately 740 mm, so compare the dimensions with the intended bathtub and make sure all support points sit securely before use.
Lightweight and Easy to Clean
The aluminium frame keeps the seat manageable to lift and reposition, while the plastic seating surface is straightforward to wipe down after bathing. The rubber grips should also be kept clean so they maintain good contact with the bath rim.
