At Showerbuddy, we’re often asked what makes our products different. While it’s easy to focus on the impressive features of a particular chair, the real answer lies in something broader: our ecosystem of support.
This ecosystem isn’t about owning multiple chairs. In fact, many users will only ever need one Showerbuddy chair at home, and perhaps an Eco Traveller for trips away. Instead, the ecosystem refers to everything behind the scenes – how we design, build, deliver and support every aspect of the user experience.
Mapping the End-to-End Journey
Supporting someone with bathroom mobility needs isn’t just about a physical product. It’s about ensuring every step – from assessment to daily use – is carefully considered and supported. That’s what our ecosystem is built to do.
Our Approach Covers:
- Assessment: We work with OTs and dealers to match the right product to the user’s needs, space, and lifestyle
- Design: All our chairs are engineered with real-world use in mind, refined over years of direct feedback
- Manufacturing: We control the build process from top to bottom, using quality materials that stand the test of time
- Accessories: Our range of add-ons means each chair can be adapted and personalised – not just for comfort, but for function
- Support: Whether it’s spare parts, training, or troubleshooting, our local teams are ready to help at every stage
The Value of an Integrated Ecosystem
When all parts of the process are connected, it creates better outcomes. A well-designed product is only part of the picture – it’s the service, adaptability and reliability around it that makes a difference.
- Confidence for users: Knowing their chair was designed with long-term use in mind
- Trust for carers and clinicians: Backed by responsive support and proven performance
- Consistency across the globe: No matter where our chairs are used, they reflect the same high standards
One Chair, Many Moments
A great mobility solution is one that fits seamlessly into the user’s life. That could mean an SB1 for full bathroom transfers, an SB2 for bathtub access, or an Eco Traveller for lightweight, portable mobility on holidays or outings.
The point is: we focus on making that one chair the best it can be – and supporting it with everything around it.
Designed for Real Life
Our chairs aren’t just the product of clever engineering. They’re built from conversations with families, carers, OTs and users themselves. We’ve created systems that work in tight spaces, avoid the need for renovations, and adjust as needs change.
We also design for longevity. Many users stick with the same Showerbuddy system for years. And if needs change? Our accessories and support help the chair evolve.
Support That Stays With You
From initial enquiry to ongoing use, our team is never far away. We believe support is as critical as the product itself. That’s why we provide:
- Technical documentation
- Video tutorials
- Local distributor training
- Friendly, experienced advice when it’s needed most
Building Confidence, Not Just Equipment
So when we talk about our ecosystem, we’re talking about more than metal and wheels. We’re talking about the reassurance that every aspect of your mobility journey is supported, from the very first conversation to years of use down the track.
