Product Description
The MOBB Transfer Bath Bench with Curtain Control is a transfer bench designed to keep water in the tub. Its shape allows the shower curtain to be closed against the seat rather than draped over it, which stops water running onto the bathroom floor. It offers full back and arm support on a wide 27″ seat, with suction cup feet, tool-free height adjustment from 17.5″ to 21.5″ and a 300 lb capacity.
Every transfer bench creates the same problem: half the seat is outside the tub, so the shower curtain cannot close, and water runs down the bench and onto the floor. The result is a soaked bathroom after every bath and, far more seriously, a wet floor in exactly the place where an unsteady person is about to stand up. Households often end up towelling the floor before every transfer, or abandoning the bench altogether.
The curtain control shaping solves it at the source. The bench is contoured so the curtain seals against the seat, keeping the spray inside the tub while the user still transfers from a dry seat outside it. The floor stays dry, which removes the slip risk and the daily clean-up.
The seat is a full 27″ wide with a proper backrest and armrests rather than a bare board, giving the user something to hold while lowering themselves and something to lean against once seated.
Key Features
Curtain Control Shaping Contoured so the shower curtain closes against the seat, keeping water in the tub instead of running onto the bathroom floor.
Keeps the Floor Dry The real safety benefit — the floor beside the tub stays dry, which is exactly where an unsteady user stands up after bathing.
Full Back and Arm Support A proper backrest (16.5″W × 7″H) and armrests (8″H × 12″D), giving something to hold when lowering down and to lean on once seated.
Wide 27″ Seat A 27″W × 16.5″D seating surface, wider than most transfer benches, giving room to shuffle across comfortably.
Suction Cup Feet Grip both the tub floor and the bathroom floor to stop the frame creeping during a transfer.
Tool-Free Height Adjustment Seat height adjusts from 17.5″ to 21.5″ and overall height from 31.5″ to 35.5″, without tools.
Curtain Control or Sliding Seat?
Both benches solve real problems, but different ones. Choose Curtain Control if the user can shuffle across a bench without much difficulty and the daily frustration is water everywhere — a soaked bathroom floor after every bath, and the slip hazard that creates. The wide 27″ seat with full back and arms also makes it the more comfortable of the two to sit on for a longer bath.
Choose the Sliding Bath Transfer Bench if the transfer itself is the difficulty. Its seat slides and brakes so the user does not have to shuffle at all, and it includes a safety belt. Where both problems exist, prioritise the transfer — a wet floor can be managed with a mat and a towel, but an unsafe transfer cannot be managed at all.
Both are height adjustable across the same range, both have suction cup feet, both assemble tool-free and both carry 300 lbs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does curtain control actually work?
The bench is shaped so that the shower curtain can be drawn and sealed against the seat, rather than having to be draped over a bench that blocks it. Water hitting the curtain runs back into the tub instead of down the bench and onto the floor. You still transfer from a dry seat outside the tub, but the wet half stays behind the curtain.
Why does a wet bathroom floor matter so much?
Because of when it happens. The floor beside the tub is exactly where the user stands up after bathing, when they are wet, tired and least steady. A wet floor at that moment is one of the most common causes of serious bathroom falls. Keeping the floor dry is a safety measure, not just a convenience.
Will it fit my bathtub?
The front legs measure 29″ inside and 29.5″ outside, with a front-to-back leg depth of 16.5″ inside and 17.5″ outside. The bench straddles the tub wall with two legs inside and two outside. Measure your tub’s internal width and the clear floor beside it before ordering, particularly in a small or unusually shaped bathroom.
Can it be used in a walk-in shower?
It is designed for a bathtub, where the point is transferring over a tub wall. In a walk-in shower there is usually no wall to cross, so a shower chair such as the MOBB Bariatric Swivel Shower Chair is normally the better product. If your walk-in shower has a raised lip or a step, ask an occupational therapist which is appropriate.

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.
