Attach the hose for a sitz bath that stays warm as long as you like.

Not your average shower chair

One chair that REPLACES two.

A shower chair can't soak. A toilet sitz bath isn't safe or sanitary. SoSoak does both jobs, and lasts for years.

"It was an absolute godsend for postpartum recovery where fatigue and soreness made it difficult to take a typical shower. The soaking basin full of warm water and epsom salts provided soothing relief from the after effects of delivery."

Clever alternative to a tub

"Since moving to an Independent Living Community without a tub, my symptoms worsened. After a long search, I finally found a solution—the soaking chair… after just a week of daily use, it has significantly relieved my symptoms. Thank you to the nurse who designed it!"

Wonderful bath chair

"I bought this chair especially for my son who is a (special needs) person and has epilepsy… As parent, I feel that if he has a seizure, the chair is safe for him."

Our story

"That night, I sketched the first of many versions of a shower soaking chair. Basically, a bathtub on legs. And 6 years later, it is finally here."

Paula Hennessy was working an extended care unit when an elderly patient couldn't be calmed at bedtime. Her skin was breaking down, and a warm soak would have helped, but there wasn't enough staff to bathe her safely. SoSoak is the answer Paula wished she'd had: the relief of a tub soak, simply by sitting down.

Quick ANSWERS.

More questions? See the full FAQ or email support@sosoak.com.

Is it covered by insurance or HSA/FSA?

Shower chairs aren't covered by insurance, but SoSoak is an eligible HSA/FSA purchase and can be fully reimbursable if you have either account.

Will it fit my shower?

SoSoak fits the standard 30" × 60" shower. It's 23.5" wide at the base of the legs. It needs a flat floor and isn't for use inside a bathtub.

How high is the seat?

The front of the seat is 18" off the floor and the back is 16", about kitchen-chair height. The slight angle lets water pool in your lap.

Why does it cost more than a regular shower chair?

It's a medical-grade soaking system made in the USA from rotomolded materials, the same kind used in hospital equipment, and built as a single seamless piece to last for years. It's designed to replace multiple cheaper products.

The cornerstone of home health

Everyone deserves a RELAXING, dignified bath.

Bring the soak back to your routine, or to someone you love. $489.00, HSA/FSA eligible, and ready to use out of the box.
