We've spent two decades dedicated to one goal: helping individuals with limited mobility remain safe, independent, and comfortable in their own homes. What began as a focus on home accessibility has since evolved into a mission-driven enterprise committed to developing solutions that solve real problems for real people.
There are a lot of unique challenges surrounding bathroom safety, particularly when it comes to maintaining independence while bathing. That’s why we created the ShowerGlyde line: a series of thoughtfully designed sliding shower transfer benches that eliminate barriers and allow people to bath with comfort.
Why Bathroom Safety Matters
If you’ve ever helped a loved one bathe or have mobility challenges yourself, you know that bathrooms can quickly become a danger zone. Slippery surfaces, tight spaces, and high thresholds can all create risky situations, especially for older adults or people recovering from surgery or injury. For many, a simple shower can feel overwhelming, or even impossible, without assistance.
The traditional answer to these challenges? A full bathroom remodel, which can be expensive, takes weeks to complete, and requires permits, contractors, and multiple tradespeople.
That’s not always an option, particularly for renters or those who need solutions fast. And even when a remodel is possible, it’s not always the most efficient way to increase safety. That’s where sliding shower benches come in and where the ShowerGlyde line truly shines.
Designed for Independence
Our ShowerGlyde sliding shower transfer benches are more than just seats; they’re engineered tools of empowerment. These products are designed with the understanding that independence doesn’t mean doing everything alone, it means having the right tools to make everyday tasks manageable and safe.
Here’s how ShowerGlyde makes a difference:
Safe Transfers, Every Time
At the core of every ShowerGlyde model is the ability to slide, a small feature that creates a big impact. Instead of stepping into a shower or tub (a movement that can be risky for someone with limited balance or strength), users can sit down safely outside the shower and then gently glide into the bathing space.
This removes the need to lift legs over high thresholds or shuffle on slippery floors. This simple sliding shower transfer bench drastically reduces the risk of slips and falls, giving both users and caregivers peace of mind.
No Remodel Required
Our customers often ask, “Will this work in my existing bathroom?” And our answer is usually: yes. The ShowerGlyde line was created specifically to bypass the need for construction.
Each chair is adjustable, installable without tools, and fits in most standard bathtubs and walk-in showers. Whether you're renting an apartment, staying with family, or simply want to avoid a costly renovation, ShowerGlyde offers a practical solution without disruption.
Comfort and Dignity
Bathing should never feel like a chore or a threat to one’s self-esteem. The ergonomic seats in our ShowerGlyde sliding transfer benches are wide enough to accommodate most body types, with padded surfaces for comfort and stability.
Many models include rotating seats for easier positioning, along with armrests and backrests that provide added security. For users who need assistance, caregivers can help without physical strain or awkward positioning. That means better comfort and less injury risk on both sides.
Who Benefits from ShowerGlyde?
We created ShowerGlyde for anyone who needs a safer, easier, and more comfortable way to bathe. This includes:
- Older adults choosing to age in place
- Individuals recovering from injury or surgery
- People with chronic conditions affecting mobility
- Caregivers assisting loved ones or clients
- Veterans or individuals with disabilities
- Tenants who need adaptable solutions without construction
Whether you're caring for a parent, planning for your own future, or navigating a temporary injury, ShowerGlyde puts you back in control of your daily routine.
Models to Fit Every Need
We know that no two users are exactly alike, and bathrooms vary widely t oo. That’ s why we offer several mod els in the ShowerGlyde lineup, each with slightly different dimensions, functionalities, and features.
Some highlights include:
- SG1 – Our entry-level model that features smooth horizontal sliding and adjustable legs to fit inside most standard tubs.
- SG2 – Includes a pivoting, padded seat for greater maneuverability and ease of transfer.
- SG3 – A wider seat with reinforced support and additional padding, ideal for users who require more space and stability.
No matter which model you choose, you can trust that it’s been designed with real-world use in mind. Our team developed each product after years of evaluating bathrooms firsthand and speaking directly with users and caregivers.
Real-Life Impact
Over the years, we've had the privilege of hearing from countless individuals whose lives have been made easier, safer, and more dignified thanks to our ShowerGlyde sliding shower chairs. From older adults who were previously nervous about bathing alone, to individuals recovering from surgery or managing chronic conditions, the feedback is consistent: the ability to safely and easily transfer into a shower using a sliding seat can be life-changing.
We also hear from caregivers, both family members and professionals, who regularly praise the ShowerGlyde for making their roles less physically demanding and more efficient. With sliding functionality and secure seating, caregivers no longer need to strain themselves while assisting with transfers, nor do they have to worry as much about their loved ones losing balance during the process. It’s a win for everyone involved: less stress, reduced risk of injury, and a more dignified experience for the person being cared for.

Staying in your home should be a choice, not a luxury. With products like the ShowerGlyde sliding shower transfer bench, we’re making that choice more accessible to everyone. We know that with the right equipment, people can remain safe, confident, and self-reliant, even as their mobility changes.
