Bath benches are helpful devices that can be added to a shower or bath area, making it possible for people who are not able to stand to still enjoy the benefits of bathing. A shower bench may be a portable and thus temporary addition to the shower area or be permanently incorporated into the design of the shower stall. The design of a shower bench is relatively simple. A firm and level seating area allows the user to sit at a comfortable height to enjoy the stream of water from the shower nozzle. Benches that are portable often come with controls to manually adjust the height. When the shower bench is intended for use in a bathtub/shower combination, the seat of the shower bench is often level with the sides of the tub and will fit comfortably in the tub proper. The shower bench is often constructed using Plexiglas, hard plastics, or metal, making the bench water-resistant and easy to clean. A shower bench is ideal for people who are older, injured, or for some reason are not able to stand long enough to take a shower. By providing a slip-proof and sturdy seating option in the shower, the shower bench makes it possible for just about anyone to enjoy the relaxing qualities of a shower without fear of falling or having to hurry through before personal reservoirs of strength are exhausted.
