A shower bench can create a cozy and comfortable shower design. It offers a convenient place to sit while you shave and provides a safe space for older or disabled homeowners to sit, reducing slipping hazards.Larger showers (usually any space larger than 3 by 3 feet) can fit long benches that have ample seating space. If your shower is on the smaller side, a corner bench may be the best solution to conserve space. Corner benches can be built-in or portable. A portable bench might save you money, but it won’t be as stable as a built-in bench.Older homeowners can install a bench underneath a handheld shower head to make bathing an easier and safer experience.
