Wave Bath Chair
Hygiene and health go together.
When we make bathing easier, our clients are healthier. The all new Wave system has been thoroughly re-imagined to improve bathing and showering – for the client and for the caregiver. Responding to requests from therapists and caregivers, we widened these new bath chairs to accommodate larger clients. And to protect skin integrity we added generous padding under soft knit fabric. As well as mounting the bath chair on a tub stand or rolling shower stand we’ve added an ingenious new tub transfer base (available in summer 2017) to completely change the way you transfer and bathe large clients. There’s nothing like it.

A complete bathing system with integrated transfer solution
The system starts with the chair itself, available in small, medium and large. If you need to raise the chair in the tub (to save your back), get the tub stand. If you need it at standing height for the shower, get the shower stand. To transfer a large or heavy user for an over-the-tub shower use the back-saving rotating transfer base. With its ingenious slide-rotate action.
Wider and more comfortable than ever
Our large is 171/2” wide and it will accommodate adults up to 6’2” and 250lbs. The medium is 15” wide. The small is also 15” wide. Along with a wider chair, our designers added padding to make it even more comfortable and gentle on sensitive skin.
Easy to adjust
The Wave is truly tool free, not only for initial assembly but also for all adjustments, many while in use. Adjust the backrest angle with one hand which allows the caregiver to keep the other hand on the client for safety and reassurance.
Positions like no other bath chair
The backrest adjusts from flat to 75° in 6 increments. The seat adjusts from flat to 75° in 6 increments. The calf rest adjusts separately from the seat in 15° increments – making it possible to make it flat or adjust it to 90°, or an angle in between.
Thoughtful details
Conversion kits are the smart solution for growing children. For a fraction of the cost you can convert a small to a medium bath chair. We’ll send you a new larger fabric cover, back and seat frames and chest strap with instructions on how to remove the old and install the new parts on your existing base.
