Shower Chair - with or without arms

Goldfern Shower Chair – With or Without Arms

The Goldfern Shower Chair is available in versions with or without arms, providing a height-adjustable seated option for suitable shower environments. Both models use an epoxy-coated mild-steel frame and a durable plastic seat and backrest with drainage openings.

Non-slip rubber ferrules are fitted to the legs, and one leg uses double adjustment holes to help the chair sit securely when the floor is not perfectly level. The range is independently tested and approved to AS/NZS 3973:2009.

Shower Seat Instructions

Why Choose the Goldfern Shower Chair?

The two configurations allow the chair to be selected with side arm supports or with a more open armless layout. Height adjustment, drainage openings and rubber ferrules make it practical for regular shower use, while the published AS/NZS testing provides a clear product standard.

Comfortable Positioning in the Shower

Shower Chair - with or without arms can make washing more manageable by providing a defined seated position and reducing the time a person needs to remain standing on a wet surface. When choosing a shower seat, consider the user’s preferred transfer direction, the amount of trunk or arm support required, and whether a caregiver needs room to assist from the front or side.

Measure the shower area carefully, including door openings, wall clearances and the location of taps or screens. Height-adjustable models should be set level, with every adjustment point fully engaged. Wall-mounted products require installation into a structurally suitable surface by a competent installer. Keep rubber feet or contact surfaces clean and inspect the seat regularly so it remains stable during everyday use.
