ShowerGlyde SG1 Bathtub Sliding Transfer Bench
The ShowerGlyde SG1 Bathtub Sliding Transfer Bench is designed to make bathtub transfers safer and more controlled for individuals who have difficulty stepping over a tub wall. Instead of requiring the user to lift or step across the bathtub, the SG1 allows the seat to slide smoothly along the rails and over the tub.
The SG1 is specifically designed for bathrooms with clear space beside the bathtub. The sliding seat locks securely in the outside and inside positions, while the integrated wall-side grab bar provides leverage for moving along the rails. The bench can be configured for either left- or right-hand use to accommodate the bathroom layout.

Slide Safely Across the Bathtub
The ShowerGlyde SG1 allows the user to sit down outside the bathtub and then slide across the tub using the guided rail system. The seat locks at both ends of the travel path to provide a stable position during transfer and bathing.
How the ShowerGlyde SG1 Works
Key Features
Three Seating Configurations
The SG1 includes a modular seating system that allows the bench to be configured according to the user's bathing needs.
- Open commode seat: Provides an opening for easier personal hygiene.
- Reducer ring: Provides a smaller opening and additional seating support.
- Solid seat insert: Creates a conventional solid seating surface.
Designed for Bathrooms With Open Space Beside the Tub
Bathroom layout is especially important when selecting the ShowerGlyde SG1. The rails need sufficient open space beside the bathtub so the seat can travel through its full sliding path.
Adjustable Tub Height
The standard SG1 accommodates bathtub heights up to 19.5 inches. Optional extension legs are available for taller tub lips and can increase the maximum tub-height capability to 25 inches.
Always measure from the bathroom floor to the top of the bathtub rim before ordering. Proper height adjustment is essential for a stable installation.
Left- or Right-Hand Installation
The ShowerGlyde SG1 can be configured for either left- or right-hand tub access. This flexibility helps accommodate different bathroom layouts while keeping the sliding transfer path aligned with the user's preferred entry direction.
Optional Accessories
- 25-inch tub-height extension legs
- Additional grab bar
- Optional swivel seat mechanism
- Padded seat cover
- Armrests
- Handheld shower clip
Optional accessories can add comfort, positioning or convenience depending on the user's needs and bathroom configuration.
Who Is the ShowerGlyde SG1 For?
The SG1 is particularly useful for individuals who have difficulty stepping over a bathtub wall or maintaining balance during traditional tub transfers. It can also be helpful for caregivers assisting users with bathing.
- Individuals with limited mobility
- People with balance or stability concerns
- Users recovering from surgery or injury
- Individuals aging in place
- Caregivers assisting with bathtub transfers
- Users who need a seated alternative to stepping over the tub wall
