Chevron Padded Transfer Bench

The Chevron Padded Transfer Bench is designed to make getting into and out of a bath or shower easier when stepping directly over the bath edge is difficult. Its long padded seat supports a lateral transfer, allowing the user to sit first and then move across the bench into position rather than relying on a large step over the side of the bath.

The bench combines a comfortable padded seat with an adjustable frame, non-slip surface and supportive side arm. The backrest can be fitted to either side, making the setup adaptable for left- or right-side access and different bathroom layouts.

With a 130 kg safe working load, adjustable seat height from 455 to 570 mm and bath clearance from 350 to 460 mm, the Chevron provides a practical transfer option for suitable baths and shower areas where more support is needed than a standard bath seat or shower chair can provide.

Transfer Bench, Bath Seat or Shower Chair?

The Chevron Padded Transfer Bench is most useful when the main challenge is getting across the side of the bath. Its longer seat supports a sideways transfer and can reduce the need to lift the legs over the bath edge while standing.

If the user can already get into the bath but needs a supported seated position over it, the Bathtub Seat may be a simpler option. For a shower area where bath-edge transfer is not required, see the Shower Chair with or without Arms.

Before ordering, measure the bathroom carefully. Bath height, available floor space, access direction and the position of nearby fixtures can all affect whether a transfer bench will fit correctly.
