A commode chair is a portable toilet chair with a removable pan. It is used next to the bed or in the bathroom when getting to the toilet in time is difficult or unsafe, especially at night. Our commodes for sale include drop arm commodes, commodes with wheels, shower commodes and a bariatric model, with prices from R1,695.

Drop arm commodes

The armrests on a drop arm commode fold down out of the way. That makes a sideways transfer from a bed or wheelchair much easier, for the user and for the carer.

Commodes with wheels

A commode on wheels, also called a mobile commode chair, lets a carer move the person between rooms while they stay seated. Always lock the brakes before sitting down or standing up.

Shower commode chairs

A shower commode is made to get wet, so one chair does the job of both a commode and a shower chair. See all shower chairs.

Bariatric commode chairs

A bariatric commode has a wider seat and a stronger frame for larger users. Check the seat width and maximum user weight on the product page.
