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.

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.
