Shower commode chairs are a convenient piece of furniture for those who find it difficult to stand for the period of time required when taking a shower, or for those who need to be wheeled in. This can be for many reasons such as recent hospitalization, being elderly, handicapped or other things.

An extended water hose and faucet makes it very easy to control the water temperature and shut it on and off as needed. It can be used by the individual or by an aide who is assisting. This works very well with a wheel chair type shower commode.

Over the past few years the construction of these chairs has improved remarkably. In the past one size fit all but that is no longer the case. They are now available in a number of sizes and can fit people with sizes from small to very large.

The past few years have seen a great change in the construction of these units. Today's chairs are constructed of stainless steel, for safety, and are well padded. Some have overall padding similar to comfortable living room chair and others just have padding on the arms, back and seat.

With the many different styles and types of chairs available it is possible for one to find exactly what is needed for special situations. Adjustable chairs are very good for people who have difficulty sitting up straight or in other positions. They are easily movable with their large, well-oiled, wheels and can be securely stopped with excellent brake mechanism.

There is a wide variety of shower commode chairs on the market today. Some people like the type that remains in the shower at all times. This chair is well padded and can be folded up when not in use. It would be well suited for someone who could go into the shower with some assistance.
