Carex Adjustable Bath & Shower Seat (Backless)
The Carex® Adjustable Bath & Shower Seat is a durable, medical-grade bathroom safety solution engineered by Compass Health Brands (Apex-Carex). Designed explicitly for seniors, individuals recovering from surgery, or anyone managing limited mobility, this heavy-duty seat provides a stable, secure, and comfortable platform to prevent slips and falls in both standard bathtubs and standalone shower stalls.
Crafted from high-impact, molded plastic and reinforced by a rustproof aluminum frame, this backless shower chair supports up to 350 lbs. The seat features an ergonomic contoured design with integrated side handles for an easy, confident grip when sitting or standing. Fully adjustable in 1-inch increments using an intuitive push-button system, the legs flare outward to provide a wider, anti-tipping base, finished with non-marring, slip-resistant rubber tips that anchor firmly to wet surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will this seat fit inside a standard, narrow apartment bathtub?
Yes. The legs are intentionally designed with a specialized flared footprint to provide premium stability, but the overall dimensions (20" W x 18" D) are tightly optimized to slide cleanly into virtually all standard residential bathtubs and compact walk-in shower stalls.
Is this bench difficult to assemble out of the box?
Not at all. This shower seat features a 100% tool-free assembly process. The aluminum extension legs insert cleanly into the base molds and secure automatically via spring-loaded push buttons. It can be completely assembled or broken down for compact travel storage in under two minutes.
How do I clean the seat to prevent mildew buildup?
Because the seat is constructed from non-porous molded plastic and rustproof aluminum, maintenance is incredibly easy. Simply wipe it down periodically with a standard household non-abrasive bathroom cleaner or mild soap and warm water. The built-in integrated drainage micro-holes across the seat surface naturally prevent water pooling.
