If space is a constraint in you bathroom or shower enclosure the you can choose to  have a retractable shower chair fitted directly onto the wall of you shower enclosure.  This type of shower chair folds up or folds down into the wall when not in use but when needed drops down and clicks into place to form a seat.  However, if your budget does not extend to the installation of a retractable shower chair then a good alternative is the lightweight portable fold up shower chair.

The lightweight portable fold up shower chair operates in much the same way as the retractable shower chair.  When not in use the seat folds up into a flat profile.  The difference between the two is that the retractable shower chair is fixed to the wall of the shower enclosure and when not in use remains in the shower, albeit against the wall.

The lightweight portable fold up shower chair is made of lightweight resin which although tough, water repellent and very strong does not weigh a great deal.  As a result, once folded up the shower chair is intended to be placed in a location that means it is not in the way of the bathroom user when not in use.  Perhaps, for instance, behind the bathroom door.

The fact that the shower chair is lightweight means that bringing the chair out and setting up in the shower enclosure is both easy and quick.  The chair is easily maneuverable even if you have some physical impairment.  Equally, putting the chair away again is similarly manageable.

The price of the lightweight portable fold up shower seat chair is, as you might expect, very affordable, possibly being amongst the cheapest type of shower chair available on the market today.

So in summary for those of you who need a shower chair in order to properly enjoy a shower in relative peace and privacy but for whom the bathroom or shower enclosure has limited space then the lightweight portable fold up shower chair is almost certainly a style of shower chair you should consider.
