Properties shower stool from Saljol
The shower stools from Saljol are characterized by their characteristics, the great design and the high-quality workmanship.
Rotatable and anti-slip in one: A rotating bathroom stool
The Spa shower stool has four wheels. They are not used to push the round stool around. They are mounted so that the shower stool can only rotate on the spot. You can safely lean on the shower stool to get into the shower without slipping away. While showering, turn comfortably to shower head, shower gel and shampoo.
The wheels are made of the extra non-slip material TPE. We offer you high slip resistance and yet 360 degree range of motion.
The turnability facilitates your own washing, because you can turn all around. The stool will also make every caregiver happy, as the caregiver himself remains dry, while he washes the patient and can simply turn further.
Sturdiness
Stability and your safety are Saljols top priorities. This is why the shower stool is available in powdered steel or elegant stainless steel. We do not use cheap plastic or unstable aluminium. Our shower stool offers enough stability for persons up to 150kg despite its low weight of 7kg. Nevertheless, it is insensitive to rust. Our shower stools do not wobble and are not unstable.
Hygiene recess
Cleanliness and care are also very important in the sensitive genital area. All the better if it functions simply and unproblematically. Thanks to the generous hygiene cut-out, everyone can wash themselves while seated. In this way you preserve your privacy and dignity at any age.
Individual settings
The design shower stools from Saljol are available in 3 sizes. We have deliberately decided against size adjustment in order to guarantee you the greatest possible stability and safety. The seat, on the other hand, is adjustable in 3 steps and you can adjust it to your seat shape.
Always a warm seat
A highlight and a much appreciated feature is the seat made of EPP. EPP is a thermoplastic with a special characteristic: it reflects body heat. This means that the seat always feels warm - unlike simple plastic seats.
In addition, EPP has the advantage that no water is absorbed. Mould formation is prevented.
Waterproof
This feature should be a matter of course with a shower stool. However, only a few shower stools offer a completely closed frame into which no water can penetrate. The Saljol shower stool has no holes or openings in which water can collect.
Versatility
The spa was designed as a shower stool, but can be used anywhere in the bathroom. Since it looks very nice and does not resemble a classic plastic shower stool, there is no need to hide it. Our customers also like to use the shower stool as a seat in front of the sink or as a shelf for towels or clothes.
Comfortable shower chair
The shower stool without backrest is sufficient for most users. Nevertheless, the backrest offers additional support and stability - especially for weak muscles. Our shower stools can be retrofitted with the optional backrest (also later). This way you can easily turn your shower stool into a stylish and stable shower chair.

The right shower stool for you
Before you decide on a shower stool, you need to know which one is right for you. You need to measure three things:
- Your body weight
- your height
- Shower width and length
Body weight
If you weigh less than 150 kg, you can use any of our shower stools without hesitation. If you weigh more, please contact our customer service who will be happy to advise you.
Body size
Since we offer the shower stool in 3 different sizes, it is important that you choose the right size. Please refer to the following table to see which size is right for you:
| product size | S | M | L |
| body size | 1,35 – 1,50m | 1,50m – 1,70m | 1,70 – 2,00m |
Shower size
We recommend a minimum size of the shower tray of 85cm in length and width so that you can rotate completely in the shower. The space requirements of the shower stool itself are shown in the following table:
| product size | S | M | L |
| Turning circle Space requirement | 47cm | 48cm | 49cm |

The story behind the Saljol shower stool
As with all Saljol products, there is a personal story behind the development of the shower stool Spa. Bärbel B., the mother of our founder and managing director, became too weak to stand in the shower for long periods of time and shower on his own. So a caregiver took care of it. However, she became more and more unkempt - also the nose noticed that.
Showering is a fundamental right
When asked, Bärbel B. told her son that showering was very unpleasant for her. She more or less has to stand up and the nurse just takes a shower. It quickly became clear that this was not a dignified condition.
The solution: The shower stool Spa
So Thomas Appel sat down with the Saljol team and developed the spa. Since then, Bärbel B. has been able to shower independently again without any problems - even without outside help.

Who needs a shower stool?
The range of use of shower stools is far greater than you might think at first glance. Not only seniors use our designer shower stools.
limited mobility
Young and old people with limited mobility, whether due to an accident (e.g. broken leg), after surgery (e.g. on the hip) or simply due to age, it is difficult to stand for long periods in confined spaces. Not only standing, but also bending down and turning in a small space quickly becomes a challenge. The shower stool offers you safety and conformity due to its fixed position.
Circulatory problems and dizzy spells
People with a weak circulation or circulatory problems can suffer more from dizzy spells. If the room is cramped, like in a shower, it additionally increases the feeling of dizziness. The first reaction is to hold on to the closest object. As a rule, this is the shower fitting. Since it is not designed to serve as a support, there is a great danger that it will be torn from the wall and you fall to the floor.
A shower stool avoids the problem because you don't have to stand so long. In addition, the optional backrest for the shower stool offers extra safety and additional support.
Persons in need of care and nursing staff
If you or a relative of yours is in need of care, showering can become an unpleasant and unpleasant thing. The patient loses some of his dignity if he is showered on a cold, immobile and cheap plastic frame. The caregiver gets wet himself and loses his lust as well.
The Spa shower stool has the advantage that it can be turned easily on the spot and so the caregiver can easily turn the stool with the patient and thus no longer gets wet. In addition, the caregiver can wash himself, for example, in the intimate area - thanks to the adjustable hygiene slot in the seat.
Design bathroom furniture lovers
The shower stool not only makes your life easier in the shower, but will also support you in the rest of the bathroom. As a seat in front of the mirror, as a shelf for clothes or a towel. Since it is a real eye-catcher, you don't need to hide the rotating stool anymore.
