Bathroom safety equipment helps a person bathe and use the toilet with more independence and support. The bathroom has hard surfaces and wet floors, so the right pieces add stability where it is needed most. Here is how to make each area safer, and how to choose.

Make each part of the bathroom safer

In the shower or tub

A shower chair or bench lets you sit while bathing, and a grab bar gives you something solid to hold. For a smaller stall, a compact stool can fit where a bench will not.

Getting in and out of the tub

A transfer bench spans the tub wall so you can sit down outside the tub, then slide across, instead of stepping over a high edge.

Shop transfer benches ›

At the toilet

Toilet safety rails add support arms on both sides for sitting down and standing up. Pair them with a raised toilet seat if extra height helps.

Holds and handholds

Grab bars mount to the wall or clamp to the tub to give a secure handhold at the shower entry, beside the toilet, or along the tub.

How to choose bathroom safety equipment

Weight capacityMatch the product to the user's weight, with room to spare. Bariatric models offer higher capacity and wider seats.
Tub vs walk-in showerA tub often needs a transfer bench; a curbless or walk-in shower usually takes a chair, bench, or stool.
Space and layoutMeasure the shower floor and the tub width. A stool fits tight stalls; a bench with a backrest suits larger spaces.
How it installsWall-mounted grab bars need a stud or proper anchor; clamp-on bars and freestanding rails need no drilling.
Comfort featuresBackrests, padded arms, adjustable-height legs, and a hand-held shower head can make bathing easier.
CleaningLook for rust-resistant frames and drainage holes so seats dry quickly and wipe clean.

Bathroom safety questions, answered

What is bathroom safety equipment?
Bathroom safety equipment is a group of products that add support and stability while bathing and using the toilet. The most common pieces are shower chairs and benches, grab bars, transfer benches, and toilet safety rails. They give a person something solid to sit on or hold onto in a space with wet, hard surfaces.
What is the difference between a shower chair, a shower bench, and a transfer bench?
A shower chair is a seat with four legs that sits inside the shower. A shower bench is longer and often has a backrest. A transfer bench spans the tub wall, so you sit outside the tub and slide across instead of stepping over the edge. Choose a transfer bench when getting over a tub wall is the hard part.
What is the difference between a grab bar and a toilet safety rail?
A grab bar mounts to the wall or clamps to the tub to give a fixed handhold, usually in the shower or tub. A toilet safety rail adds support arms on one or both sides of the toilet for sitting down and standing up. Many bathrooms use both.
Do grab bars need to be drilled into the wall?
Not always. Wall-mounted grab bars are the most secure and should anchor into a stud or a proper wall anchor. If you cannot or do not want to drill, clamp-on tub bars and freestanding toilet rails give support without permanent installation.
How much weight can bathroom safety equipment hold?
Standard shower chairs, benches, and rails commonly support around 250 to 350 lb, and bariatric models go higher with wider seats. Always check the weight capacity on the product page and choose one with room to spare.
Can I try these in person, and do you deliver?
Yes. You can see bathroom safety equipment in our Salt Lake City showroom and get help choosing, with local delivery available. Outside Utah, we ship nationwide and can help you plan the bathroom by phone at 801-906-3900.
Do I need a prescription to buy bathroom safety equipment?
No. You can purchase any bathroom safety product on this page without a prescription. A prescription may matter separately if you plan to seek insurance or HSA/FSA reimbursement. Coverage varies, so check with your plan.
