Nova Deluxe Transfer Bench, 31.5" Seat, Reversible Back

Getting into a tub while standing is often the hardest part of a bath. The Nova Deluxe Transfer Bench (9070) lets you sit outside the tub and slide across to bathe. Two legs stay in the tub and two stay on the bathroom floor. The extended plastic seat, reversible back, and built-in soap and handheld shower holders are made for that sit-and-slide setup.

A shower chair stays inside the stall, so you still have to step over the tub wall on your feet. If that step is the problem, you want a transfer bench, not another inside-the-tub seat. The Nova Deluxe Transfer Bench is the extended-seat model for sitting down outside the tub and sliding in. The back converts for a left- or right-side tub. A soap dish and handheld shower holder are built into the seat so washcloths and the sprayer stay within reach.

Why Choose This Product?

Sit outside the tub, then slide in

Two legs stay in the tub and two stay on the bathroom floor. You sit on the outer end, scoot across, and bathe without standing through the tub wall. This is not a shower chair.

Extra-long seat for the transfer

The sitting surface is long enough to start outside the tub and finish inside. Drainage holes let water through so you are not sitting in a puddle. The seat is plastic, not padded.

Back converts for left or right tubs

Set the back for the side of the tub you will use, then leave it. Confirm that before the first bath so the user is not turning around on a wet floor to face the wrong way.

Soap dish and handheld shower holder in the seat

Washcloths and soap stay on the bench instead of the tub floor. The seat also holds a handheld shower so you can rinse while seated. The holder is built in. The hose is separate.

Aluminum frame with extra-wide suction tips in the tub

The inside legs use extra-wide suction-base tips on the tub floor. The outer legs use rubber tips on the bathroom floor. Set every leg to the same height hole so the bench does not rock.

Who Is It Best For?

This bench is for someone who can sit and slide but should not step over the tub wall standing. It is a common setup after a hospital stay, for a parent who has had a close call in the tub, or when a caregiver helps with bathing.

• Someone who needs to sit outside the tub and slide in
• A tub long enough for the extended seat
• A user at or under the listed weight capacity
• A household that can set the back for the correct tub side

It is a weaker fit if they can already step in and only need a seat inside the stall. In that case compare a Nova Bath Seat. It is also a weaker fit if they want a padded seat or a sliding/swivel seat.

Transfer Bench vs Shower Chair

A shower chair stays inside the tub or stall. You still step in standing, then sit. A transfer bench bridges the tub wall: two legs in, two out.

• Nova Bath Seat: stays inside the stall. Choose it if they can step in and only need to sit.
• Nova Standard Transfer Bench: same sit-and-slide layout with a shorter seat. Choose Standard if that length fits the tub better.
• Nova Heavy Duty Transfer Bench: sit-and-slide in the higher capacity class. Choose it when 300 lb is not enough.
• Nova Padded Transfer Bench or the Drive padded transfer bench: choose padded if a hard plastic seat is the issue, not the step over the tub wall.

Trade-off in plain terms: you get the sit-and-slide layout, the longer Deluxe seat, and the built-in holders. You give up the Standard's shorter length, a padded seat, and the heavy-duty class.

Things to Consider Before Buying

• Measure the tub. The extended seat needs room to span the wall with two legs in the tub and two on the floor.
• Set every leg to the same hole. Suction-base tips go on the tub floor. Confirm the bench does not rock before the first transfer.
• Choose left or right before the first use. Convert the back for the side of the tub you will sit on.
• The seat is plastic. Drainage holes let water through. It is not a padded cushion.
• The bench does not fold. Plan where it will live between baths.
• The handheld holder is included. The hose is not. Pair it with a handheld shower if you want to rinse while seated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a shower chair?

No. A shower chair stays inside the tub or stall, so you still step in standing. This transfer bench keeps two legs in the tub and two on the bathroom floor so you can sit outside and slide in.

Can I set it up for a left- or right-side tub?

Yes. The back converts for a left- or right-hand transfer. Set the back for the side of the tub you will use before the first bath.

Does it include a handheld shower?

The seat has a built-in holder for a handheld shower, plus a soap dish. The hose and shower head are separate. Use a handheld you already have, or add one if you want to rinse while seated.

How should I set the height?

Set every leg to the same hole. Suction-base tips go on the tub floor. Rubber tips stay on the bathroom floor. Sit with your feet flat and confirm the bench does not rock before you transfer.
