Wall-mounted fold-down shower seats give you a sturdy place to sit and fold up out of the way when you are done. EZ Able® carries folding, double-width and phenolic seats, ADA options, and bariatric models rated up to 1,100 pounds.

Why a wall-mounted seat?

When mounted correctly, a fold-down seat is sturdier than a portable seat, and it saves floor space because it folds up. That is useful for older adults, for anyone who wants to sit while showering, and for roll-in showers that need open floor.

How to choose a fold-down shower seat

  • Weight capacity. Match the rated capacity to the person using it. Bariatric options go up to 1,100 pounds.
  • Height. The 2010 ADA Standards set the seat height for an accessible shower at 17 to 19 inches above the floor.
  • Material. Phenolic seats are a durable, easy-to-clean option. Look at each product for details.
  • Mounting. Plan solid backing, such as blocking between studs, before the wall is closed up. Our fold-down shower seat guide covers height, size and mounting.

Shower seat questions we hear

How high should a shower seat be?

The 2010 ADA Standards set a shower seat 17 to 19 inches above the bathroom floor, about the height of a dining chair, and require it to hold 250 pounds. In a roll-in shower used with a shower wheelchair, the seat must fold up so the chair has room.

What weight can a wall-mounted shower seat hold?

It depends on the model. We carry seats rated up to 1,100 pounds. Always check the rating on the product page and mount into solid backing.

Do I need to add backing to mount a fold-down shower seat?

Not on Best Bath or EZ Able showers, or the Praxis and Aquatic showers sold on ezable.com: their walls are backed (reinforced), so a wall-mounted seat can go directly on the shower wall. On other walls, mount into studs or solid blocking, and check the seat's installation instructions, since some heavy-duty seats call for backing behind them.
