A padded shower stool is the sensible pick for a client with bony hips, low body weight or a history of pressure problems, where a hard moulded seat becomes uncomfortable within a few minutes and showers get cut short.
The padding is a closed surface that wipes down and does not soak up water, and it sits on a light aluminium frame that will not rust. Legs adjust for height so you can set the seat to suit the sit to stand, and non slip tips give grip on a wet base.
With no back or arms it stays compact, which helps in a small recess or where a carer needs room to stand alongside and assist. It is light enough to move in and out of the shower between uses if the bathroom is shared.
