Benefits of a Shower Bench

In addition to adding an attractive and eye-catching element to your bathroom design, shower benches offer a multitude of practical advantages for you, your household, and any guests who need to bathe in your home. Here are three of the primary benefits of installing a custom shower bench in your bathroom.

Accessibility

Bathing is a notorious roadblock in the accessibility sphere. People of all body types and ages deserve the right to bathe in peace, comfort, and privacy. However, those who use mobility aids or have trouble standing for long periods of time are often barred from using stand-up showers without assistance.

Installing benches in showers goes a long way toward improving the accessibility of bathing facilities. A sturdy bathroom bench gives many people with limited mobility the option of bathing in private. Additional ADA-compliant structures such as grab bars make it even easier for people in wheelchairs or walkers to enter the shower without help.

Accessibility is an issue that affects everyone, not just people with permanent disabilities and age-related disability issues. If you or someone in your household sustains a foot or leg injury, having the option of sitting down while showering will make a world of difference during the recovery period.

If you want to make your bathroom remodel as accessible as possible for household members and guests, consider incorporating a handheld shower wand into the design as well.

Safety

Of course, people with injuries and limited mobility aren't the only demographic that benefits from the safety of sitting down to shower. Slips and falls while bathing are common enough to be dangerous for everyone; in fact, they're the most frequent cause of injury in home bathrooms.

With a sturdy bathroom bench installed in your shower, you'll eliminate the fall hazard posed by a sudsy, slippery floor. Benches make bathing safer for everyone, especially young children and people who are prone to falling asleep while showering.

Convenience

A seat can be used for so much more than sitting. While you want to ensure the seating area is clear any time someone needs to use it, your custom shower bench can double as a shelf on which to stash bathing essentials like shampoo, conditioner, soap, loofahs, or toys.

Custom Shower Bench Styles

Bathroom seats come in a wealth of style, color, and material options. You'll find something to match any aesthetic, and our design experts can help you choose the best bench for your vision and needs.

Here are a few of our most popular styles.

Built-In Shower Bench

When you purchase a custom tile shower from Solace, you'll have the option of incorporating a built-in seat into your design. We can use the same tiles to cover your bench or use a different hue or pattern to add an eye-catching burst of color.

A built-in bench looks luxurious and bespoke, and the freedom to choose its precise appearance, shape, and location within the bathing facility makes this a very popular option.

Corner Seat

If you want to maximize shower space while still offering bathers a safe and comfortable place to sit, a corner bench might fit the bill perfectly. It's an ideal seating solution for smaller showers because it leaves plenty of room for those who prefer to stand.

Folding Bathroom Bench

Another terrific option for small spaces, the folding-style bathroom bench gives you a wide range of color and material options while preserving the limited floor space in your shower. We safety-test our folding benches to ensure their stability, and we take great care during the installation process to ensure the structure is sound.

Free-Standing Seat
Interested in the utility of a custom shower bench but aren't sure you want a permanent installation? Browse through our options for free-standing seats! Removable benches offer comfort and stability for those who need to sit while bathing, but they can also be taken out to be cleaned or to create more space in your shower when you need it.
We stock several very sturdy free-standing benches and will be happy to walk you through our favorites. That said, it's worth pointing out that built-in seats offer more stability than removable models, since they are affixed to the wall and/or floor.
