Shower Stools & Seats

A shower stool or seat gives you a safe, stable place to sit while you shower — helping prevent slips, easing the fatigue of standing, and letting you wash in comfort and with confidence. Our range covers simple lightweight stools through to chairs with backrests and swivel seats. Every one is height adjustable with non-slip feet, qualifies for VAT relief, and comes with free UK delivery on orders over £15.

Which type do I need?

A shower stool is the simple, compact choice — easy to move, quick to dry, and small enough for tighter enclosures. A shower chair with a backrest adds support for anyone who tires quickly or wants something to lean against while washing. A swivel stool lets you rotate the seat itself, making it easier to turn under the water or transfer on and off without twisting — helpful after hip surgery or with limited mobility. And a free-standing shower seat gives a wider, sturdier sitting platform for maximum reassurance.

Whichever you choose, set the height so your feet rest flat on the floor with your knees at a comfortable right angle. If you shower over the bath rather than in a cubicle, you may instead want a bath board or a bath seat.

Frequently asked questions

What height should a shower stool be? Adjust it so your feet sit flat on the floor and your hips are level with or slightly above your knees — this makes standing up much easier. All our stools and chairs adjust in height.

Are they safe on wet floors? Yes — every model has non-slip rubber feet designed for wet surfaces. Pair with a non-slip mat for extra reassurance.

Can I buy a shower stool VAT-free? Yes — if you are disabled or have a long-term illness you can usually buy VAT-free by completing the short declaration at checkout.
