A transfer bench (also known as a showering bench, shower bench, transfer tub bench, or transfer chair) is a bath safety mobility device on which the user sits to get into a bathtub. The user usually sits on the bench, which straddles the side of the tub, and gradually slides from the outside to the inside of the tub. Tub transfer benches are used by people who have trouble getting over the tub wall or into the shower, either because of illness or disability. A smaller version without the longer bench extension, which sits wholly inside the tub, is known as a shower chair. Its handles are built-in within the chair's seat.
