Carex Portable Bath Bench — Adjustable Width, 300 lb Capacity
/
The Carex Portable Bath Bench is a one-piece bath board that rests across the top of the tub, giving the user a stable, contoured place to sit while bathing. It adjusts to fit standard bathtubs from 19" to 28" wide, supports up to 300 lbs, and weighs under 5 lbs — light enough to lift out after each bath, tuck in a closet, or pack for a trip to family or a hotel. Rubber stops protect the tub finish and help keep the board in place, and a built-in soap dish with drain holes keeps soap within reach without pooling water. A simple, affordable bathing aid for anyone who has trouble lowering to the bottom of the tub or standing through a full shower.

Medicare and Insurance
Bath benches and bath boards are generally not covered by Original Medicare, which considers bathroom safety equipment a convenience item rather than durable medical equipment. Some Medicare Advantage plans offer over-the-counter or supplemental benefits that can apply to bathroom safety items, and an FSA or HSA may also be an option.
