Product Description
The MOBB Padded Folding Commode Chair is a folding bedside commode with a padded seat and backrest and full access from either the front or the back. The seat height adjusts from 15″ to 21″, it folds flat when not needed, and it can be used over a toilet or freestanding with the supplied 5-litre bucket and lid. Rated to 300 lbs.
Most people who need a bedside commode need it at night, and only at night. A fixed commode standing in the bedroom the rest of the time is a constant reminder of illness, and in a small room it is simply in the way. This one folds flat, so it can be stood beside the bed at night and put behind a door or in a wardrobe by day.
The seat height range of 15″ to 21″ is wider than most, which matters more than it sounds. Standing from a seated position is far easier when the seat is close to the height of the bed the user has just left, and a 6″ range means the commode can be matched to a low divan or a high profiling bed. The padded seat and backrest, rather than a bare frame, make it tolerable to sit on for more than a moment.
Key Features
Folds Flat for Storage Stands beside the bed at night and folds away by day — the practical difference between a commode that gets used and one that dominates the bedroom.
Front and Back Access The padded seat gives full access from either the front or the back for personal hygiene, rather than the single direction most bedside commodes allow.
Seat Height Adjustable 15″ to 21″ A 6″ range, wider than most commodes, so the seat can be matched to the height of the user’s bed to make standing easier.
Padded Seat and Backrest Padded rather than bare frame, which matters for anyone who will sit on it for more than a moment or who has fragile skin.
5 L Bucket with Lid The bucket lifts out and the lid seals for hygienic disposal — a lid is not universal at this price point.
Use With or Without a Toilet Freestanding beside the bed with the bucket in place, or positioned over a standard toilet with the bucket removed, as a toilet surround.
Where a Folding Commode Makes Sense
A folding commode is the right answer to a specific, common problem: someone who can transfer themselves but cannot safely walk to the bathroom at night. It removes the night-time journey that causes a large share of falls in the home, without permanently changing the bedroom. It also travels — it will go in a car boot for a stay with family or a holiday rental.
It is not the right chair where a carer is providing full personal care, or where the user cannot transfer independently. In those situations the 4 Way Padded Steel Commode Chair with Wheels is the appropriate product: it offers four-way access, wheels between rooms and carries 350 lbs. Have an occupational therapist assess which is appropriate if you are unsure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What height should a bedside commode be?
As close as possible to the height of the bed the user transfers from — that makes standing and sitting easiest and safest. Measure from the floor to the top of the mattress and set the commode to match. This chair adjusts from 15″ to 21″ at the seat, which covers most domestic beds and many profiling beds. If in doubt, slightly higher is easier to stand from than slightly lower.
Can it be used over a toilet?
Yes. Remove the bucket and position the chair over a standard toilet, and it works as a toilet surround with arms and a padded seat — useful for someone who needs support to lower and rise but does not need a commode during the day. With the bucket in place it works freestanding beside the bed.
How do I clean the bucket?
Empty it, rinse thoroughly and clean with a household disinfectant appropriate to the surface. The lid seals for transport to the bathroom, so the bucket can be carried and emptied without spillage. Rinse and dry the bucket before replacing it, and wipe the seat and frame regularly — the powder-coated steel frame tolerates normal household cleaners.
Is it stable enough for someone unsteady on their feet?
It is rated to 300 lbs and stable when correctly set up, but every leg must be locked at the same height and all four feet flat on the floor before use. It is a stationary commode, not a wheeled care chair — if the user cannot transfer independently or needs a carer to provide full personal care, the 4 Way Padded Steel Commode Chair is the more appropriate product. Have an occupational therapist assess the user’s transfers if there is any doubt.
Summary
The MOBB Padded Folding Commode Chair is a folding bedside commode with a padded seat and backrest, front and back hygiene access, a 15″–21″ adjustable seat height and a lidded 5-litre bucket. Usable with or without a toilet, 300 lb capacity, folds flat for storage and travel.
Important Notice: This product is a mobility and safety aid and is not a substitute for professional medical advice or assessment. Have an occupational therapist confirm it suits your bathroom, your transfer technique and your physical ability before use. Do not exceed the stated weight capacity. Check that all height adjusters, locking pins and suction feet are fully engaged before every use, and never use the product on a wet, loose or uneven floor.
