Wall mounted and folding shower seats

It is true that a shower seat is especially in demand in households with elderly people or individuals with disabilities. They don’t have to worry about slipping or lacking the strength to shower standing up. However, shower enthusiasts who enjoy long showers and want to experience them in maximum comfort will also appreciate a seat. We particularly recommend a foldable shower seat, which, in fact, applies to every seat in our selection. It does not get in the way for those who prefer a traditional shower. For those who need it, the seat can be folded down with a single motion.

Choose according to load capacity and material

When selecting a shower seat, first check its load capacity. Nowadays, every quality foldable shower seat is tested for high weight tolerance, but it’s still good to verify its strength. The second important factor is the material. The most common option is a seat made of durable plastic. The frame is naturally made of sturdy metal, aluminum, steel, or chrome. We also offer seats with bamboo seating surfaces. This is an elegant and natural option, though it may not suit everyone.

Shape and design

The material itself largely determines the appearance of the shower seat. A bamboo seat looks visually pleasant and is made of natural material, while plastic can feel somewhat cold. We offer various color options, allowing you to match the seat with other fixtures in your shower enclosure or bathroom. Whether the seat is square or rounded has little impact on comfort—it is purely an aesthetic choice.

Also, pay attention to the brand. Good seats come from reputable manufacturers who provide other quality bathroom products as well. At SANITINO, we offer seats from brands such as Keuco, Jika, Ravak, Aqualine, and other well-known brands.

What else you should know

Shower seats are usually mounted on the wall. Keep in mind that you will need to screw the seat into the tiles. Otherwise, installation is not difficult. The shower seat is foldable, so after showering, you can fold it up against the wall, taking up minimal space in the shower enclosure.

If, for any reason, you don’t want to mount a seat permanently in your shower, an alternative is shower chairs or stools. They also provide safe intimate hygiene but have several drawbacks. You need to bring them into the shower for each use and likely remove them afterward if someone in the household does not want to sit while showering. The chair or stool must be carefully selected to withstand moisture and ensure comfortable seating. Once removed from the shower, water may drip onto the floor. For households where multiple people use the shower, we recommend a foldable shower seat, which saves space and is conveniently ready when needed.
