What is a transfer bath bench? A transfer bath bench is a bathing aid that straddles the side of the bathtub, with two legs inside the tub and two legs outside. The user sits on the outside portion of the bench, then slides across into the tub — eliminating the need to step over the tub wall. This significantly reduces the risk of falls during bathing. 2. What is the curtain control feature? The curtain control feature is a built-in mechanism that holds the shower curtain in place while the user transfers in and out of the tub. This maintains privacy during the transfer and prevents the curtain from getting in the way or falling into the tub during the sliding motion. 3. Who is this bench designed for? This bench is ideal for older adults, individuals recovering from hip or knee surgery, people with limited mobility or balance challenges, and anyone who finds it difficult or unsafe to step over a bathtub wall. It is particularly useful for users who cannot use a walk-in shower. 4. Is this suitable after hip replacement surgery? Yes. After hip replacement surgery, stepping over a tub wall is typically restricted or unsafe. A transfer bath bench allows the user to slide into the tub without lifting the leg over the wall, making it one of the most recommended bathing aids for hip replacement recovery. Always confirm with your care provider or physiotherapist that this bench is appropriate for your specific recovery protocol. 5. How does the transfer work? The user sits on the outside portion of the bench (outside the tub), then slides their body across the bench seat into the tub while keeping their legs together. The curtain control holds the shower curtain aside during this motion. Once inside, the user can swing their legs into the tub to bathe. 6. What is the weight capacity? Please contact Must to confirm the exact weight capacity for this model. Our team can help ensure this bench is the right fit for the user's needs. 7. Will this fit my bathtub? This bench is designed to fit most standard bathtubs. The adjustable height legs allow it to be set at the correct height for your tub. Please contact Must to confirm compatibility with your specific tub before purchasing. 8. Is the seat height adjustable? Yes. The legs are height-adjustable to fit most standard bathtubs, allowing the bench to be set at a comfortable and safe transfer height for the user. 9. Is the frame rust-resistant? Yes. The lightweight aluminum frame is rust-resistant, making it safe and durable for use in wet bathroom environments. 10. Will this bench slip on a wet floor? The bench features non-slip rubber tips on all legs to provide a secure grip on wet tile and tub surfaces. For additional safety, we recommend placing a non-slip mat inside the tub. 11. Is the seat padded? Yes. The seat is padded for comfort during extended bathing sessions, reducing pressure and discomfort for the user. 12. Does this bench have a backrest? Please contact Must to confirm whether this model includes a backrest. Our team can help you compare available transfer bench options with and without backrests. 13. Is this covered by extended health insurance? Bath transfer benches may be covered by extended health plans or provincial programs when recommended by a care provider or occupational therapist. Must can provide a receipt and product documentation to support your insurance claim. 14. Do I need a prescription to purchase this? No prescription is required. You can purchase this transfer bench directly from our showroom or order online with local delivery available across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. 15. Can an occupational therapist recommend this bench? Yes. Occupational therapists frequently recommend transfer bath benches as part of a home safety assessment, particularly for users who cannot safely step over a tub wall. Our team can work with your OT's recommendations and provide documentation for insurance purposes. 16. What is the difference between a transfer bench and a regular shower chair? A regular shower chair sits entirely inside the shower or tub and requires the user to step over the tub wall to use it. A transfer bench straddles the tub wall, allowing the user to sit outside the tub and slide in — eliminating the need to step over the wall entirely. Transfer benches are the safer option for users who cannot safely lift their leg over the tub edge. 17. Is this easy to assemble? Yes. Transfer benches of this type typically require minimal assembly — attaching the legs and adjusting the height. No special tools are required. Contact Must if you need assistance with setup. 18. How do I clean and maintain this bench? Rinse the bench with clean water after each use and wipe down with a mild cleaner periodically. Check the rubber tips and leg adjustment mechanisms regularly to ensure they are secure and functioning properly. 19. Can I try this bench before purchasing? Yes. Visit the Must showroom and our team can show you the transfer bench, demonstrate the transfer technique, and help you confirm it's the right fit for your bathroom and mobility needs. 20.
