Platinum Health Tub Transfer Bench
A transfer bench that straddles the tub edge — the senior sits on the outside half, swings legs over, and slides in, eliminating the dangerous step-over that causes the most bathroom fall injuries.
Key Features
- Straddles tub edge — no step-over
- Reversible for left or right drain
- 400 lb capacity aluminium frame
- Adjustable height legs
- No installation required
Why seniors love it
Seniors who prefer a bath but cannot safely step over the tub edge.
Worth knowing
Requires some upper body strength to slide across the bench — not suitable for seniors with very limited upper body mobility.
Our Take
The tub transfer bench solves the most dangerous bathroom transition for seniors who still prefer a bath. Half the bench sits outside the tub, half inside — the senior sits on the outside half, swings both legs over the tub edge while seated, and slides across to the inside half. No step-over, no grip required.
The reversible design fits tubs with the drain on either side. Medical-grade aluminium frame supports up to 400 lbs. This product is appropriate for seniors with moderate upper-body strength — assess honestly in content.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most standard tubs have a rim height of 14–18 inches. Transfer benches adjust to fit — check the model's adjustment range against your tub.
The bench surface is textured. A sliding board or bath sheet under the user makes transfers easier for those with limited upper body strength.
