The Hero Medical Padded Seat and Padded Back Shower Stool is a seated showering aid with a cushioned seat, a padded backrest and a raised arm on either side. Sitting down to shower removes the need to stand and balance on a wet floor, the backrest gives support behind the user, and the arms provide handholds for lowering down and rising again. The legs adjust between 46 cm and 58.5 cm, so the seat can be set at a height where the feet rest flat on the floor and standing is easier. The frame is powder coated aluminium, which resists rust in a constantly damp room, and at 3.4 kg with a footprint of 51 cm wide by 43 cm deep it is light enough to lift in and out of a standard shower recess. Non-slip rubber tips grip wet tiles.

The combination of a padded seat, a padded back and side arms suits anyone who finds a plain stool uncomfortable or who needs support behind as well as beside them. A wide height range means the seat can be matched to the user rather than the reverse, and the compact footprint allows the stool to stay in place in a standard recess instead of being stored between showers.
