RAZ SP600 Bariatric Self-Propelled Shower Commode Chair 

The RAZ SP600 Bariatric Shower Chair is a robust, thoughtfully engineered self-propelled shower, toilet and commode chair designed specifically to support larger users who require a reliable, easy-to-operate hygiene aid that promotes comfort, stability and practical everyday function. Offering a combination of strong structural design and adaptable clinical features, the SP600 delivers a reassuringly secure platform for showering and toileting routines, while ensuring the user has greater control and comfort when manoeuvring the chair. Built around a reinforced stainless steel frame, the chair is carefully crafted for heavy-duty performance and long-term durability, with a safe working load of 272kg, ensuring it can comfortably accommodate bariatric users without compromising on safety or usability. The stainless steel frame and hardware also provide exceptional resistance to moisture, corrosion and wear, making the RAZ SP600 ideal for frequent wet-room use and rigorous care environments. Supported by a 5-year warranty, the overall build construction reflects the manufacturer’s focus on long-lasting reliability, secure handling and excellent user trust.

What sets the RAZ SP600 apart is its straightforward yet highly adaptable configuration, enabling carers, therapists and users to easily fine-tune the chair to suit individual requirements. The self-propel design incorporates 600mm rear wheels, positioned to balance safety with efficient movement, allowing the user to navigate the bathroom space with confidence and reduced strain. The chair’s rear wheel brackets feature a centre-of-gravity adjustment, allowing fine positioning that helps improve stability and rolling performance while seated. This makes the SP600 an excellent solution for users who prefer to take an active role in their hygiene routine, as the wheel setup requires less energy and enhances ease of movement across tiled or wet surfaces.

The seat and backrest design also play a vital role in comfort and posture support. The adjustable tension fabric backrest allows the carer or therapist to modify the support level for comfort, posture management or changing needs over time. This tension system provides a tailored fit that conforms closely to the user’s back, offering gentle positioning or firmer resistance depending on preference. As standard, the backrest also includes back recline adjustment, which enables the angle to be altered to improve stability, relieve pressure and accommodate a variety of sitting postures. This thoughtful adjustability ensures the user experiences optimal support even during longer showering or toileting sessions.

A standout feature of the SP600 is its integrated Ischial & Pelvic Alignment System (IPAS). This innovative mechanism allows the commode seat aperture to be adjusted, helping to maintain appropriate pelvic alignment for comfort, skin protection and correct access for personal care. The seat can also be moved up to 50mm forwards or backwards, as well as 25mm laterally, ensuring the seating position can be customised to suit each user’s body shape, functional movement and clinical requirements. This level of configurability helps minimise pressure risk around the pelvis and enables carers to optimise the seat position for safe transfer assistance.

Comfort is enhanced further by flip-up padded armrests, which offer additional support for the user while transferring, repositioning or simply resting during use. These armrests lift easily out of the way to allow convenient side transfers or improved personal access. The chair also features multiple frame height settings—490, 510, 540 or 600mm—ensuring the seat height can be raised or lowered to match the user’s leg length, transfer height or the height of a toilet bowl. This versatility makes the SP600 compatible with a wide range of home and facility bathroom layouts. The generous 560mm seat width provides a spacious platform that enhances comfort without creating a bulky footprint, and the width between arm pads of 500 mm ensures sufficient room while still offering secure lateral support.

The chair’s frame dimensions are carefully proportioned for safe movement and practical use. It has an overall width of 770mm, allowing comfortable manoeuvring through standard doorways, and an overall depth of 810mm without footplates—or 1035mm with footplates fitted. Toilet bowl clearance is available with or without pan brackets, ranging from 390mm to 510mm, supporting a broad selection of toilet heights and installation requirements. These configurable clearances make the RAZ SP600 suitable for domestic bathrooms, healthcare facilities and wider accessible wet areas.

Additional positioning assistance is offered through the lateral support adjustment range, allowing 0–76mm offset, 50mm vertical adjustment, 25mm forwards/backwards movement and a ±5° pad angle. This ensures tailored trunk support for users who benefit from lateral guidance, helping to maintain posture and improve sitting comfort. Footplate options are equally versatile, with standard footplates offering 410–520mm height adjustment or 470–580mm when combined with a footrest extension. For smaller users or those with specific clinical needs, the N721 MFX footplates offer a lower adjustment range of 305–420mm. These variations help ensure the user’s feet are comfortably supported, reducing strain at the hips and improving overall posture during use.

To ensure a tailored fit for clinical needs, custom seats are available on request, offering bespoke shaping, pressure relief options or aperture designs. The attention to detail across the entire design ensures that the RAZ SP600 not only meets the demands of bariatric users but does so with comfort, movement, safety and practicality at the forefront. From the ease of self-propelling to the highly adaptable seating system, and from the heavy-duty stainless steel frame to the subtle anatomical adjustments provided by IPAS, every component of this chair reflects thoughtful engineering and user-centred design. Whether used in a home setting, care facility or specialised bathroom environment, the SP600 provides a supportive and dependable solution that allows users to engage comfortably and confidently in essential daily hygiene routines.
