Bath transfer benches & bath boards
A bath transfer bench lets you sit down outside the bath, shift across the seat and then bring your legs over the edge, instead of stepping over it. A bath board does a similar job, resting across the top of the bath. Allcare Warehouse stocks four transfer benches, including padded, sliding and heavy duty models, and four bath boards, including the Cosby and Kingfisher. Each listing gives the seat size and maximum user weight so you can check the fit before you visit.

Bench, board or swivel seat?
A bench is longer and has a backrest, so it suits people who want support while they shift across. A board is lighter and simpler, but you sit without a back. A swivel bath seat, from our shower chairs and bath seats range, rotates you into position instead. Whatever you choose, Healthdirect lists a seat in the bath and handrails among the ways to reduce slips in wet areas, and grab rails on the wall give extra support as you sit and stand.
Measuring your bath
Measure the inside and outside width of the bath where you will sit, the height of the rim from the floor and the clear floor space beside the bath. Compare these with the seat width and height range on each listing. Bench grab rails are fitted to one side only, so note where your taps and walls sit before you choose left or right.
