I'm over 250lbs but under 300 - will I still be able to use this sitz bath? If not, which one should I buy?

i am only 150# - the rim of the bath sits directly on the commode outer rim under the toilet seat --- the bath is recessed -no weight rests on it - if your commode +seat is now supporting your weight -- this should serve you well

Just leaning on it (force straight down) would be almost unlimited, just as much as the tub side wall could with stand. Side to side force, in other words, trying to pull its mount off the tub wall is very high as well. I'm 250 and I feel like I could swing on this thing. Really a strong connection to the tub. You won't be dissapointed.

It wii but this is not the seat you want. Go to Goodwill and they have used equipment cheap and more appropriate. You need the bench that sits outside and inside the tub, so that the person can slide into the tub which is much better. This seat is for a mobile person and works best in a shower without the tub.

I'm 210lbs. I feel like sitting on a rock. Well, not really. But I feel the bidet is well made and very solid.

You will need just 27" for her to walk into the bathtub/shower before she can sit down on the seat which would be behind the opening and add another 20" . In other words your opening has to be at least 50" to have enough room to move around to sit down. The seat has to position itself over the edge of the bathtub and 27" won't do it. It won't work with all four legs sitting in the bathtub. Or have the seat fold down from the wall. Old people don't like tight spaces or wiggly stuff but like lots of handle bars. My mom had plenty of room but would not use the seat. JJK

What if you are a small adult (at ~100 lbs)? Should you get the smaller one?

YES, of course this will accomodate a 300 lb person! The item is like a regular toilet.

I am 6' 00", 200 pounds and EXCEPT for the wider than normal space between the seat & back ... you should be fine. I have been using a folded towel which I have put in the space as needed ... not great, but comfortable enough .... a piece of foam would be better. The other negative for me are the "rollers" on the leg extension arms ... they don't roll well. If I didn't have to have a "space saver" type bench I wouldn't buy this one as it is not as sturdy as a one piece bench. I do miss my old Marcy. Use it in great health!

Addendum to my first response earlier: You know, that little plastic basin theoretically shouldn't even hold MY weight. I believe, though, that it is actually the toilet that holds the weight since the rim of the Sitz bath fits over the rim of the toilet. The user's legs do press on the front part of the basin, but most of the other weight should be distributed and supported by the toilet. If I were you, I would consult with the manufacturer on the weight limit. Other than that, since the bath costs only $10.19, if you can afford that big an investment risk, I'd say, "Go for it!"

the water in the tub is only about 24 inches deep when you fill the spa up to the top of the filter . . . I am a small person -- took the head rests out and filled the tub up to nearly the top . . . it is fine for me, but, using the lounger is uncomfortable and the water just barely covers my body . . . in the future, I will opt for four reclining corner seats instead of any lounger. I just use the two seats . . . the other thing is that there is not a lot of leg room between the seat and the floor. For a taller person -- taller than 5'4", I would suspect that it would be uncomfortable. Otherwise, it is a nice size for one person, energy efficient and will serve my winter needs for a few years.

I think it is 300lb but I think the seat would not be big enough to be comfortable for a person much over 200lb. The seat is on the small side. It may be difficult to wipe your bottom. It was fine for near 200lb. I am still happy with my purchase.

I'm about six foot tall and I have some extra bed room above my head. I think what I would do is go to the Teeter's web site and if the specs aren't there send them an email and ask. I'm sure they are more than happy to answer any questions. Now the weight, yes, these are rated for 300 pounds. They are officially a medical rated device. Any of the cheap ones you can buy will work for a person that weights 90 to 150 pounds but they are really flimsey made. Hope this helps.

I purchased it for my 13 year old, who weighs in at 110 lbs! LOL! However, when I sit in it, I do observe that it is very narrow and I would not recommend it for someone who is 300lbs. I can (anonymously) say that I weigh around 160 lbs and do not find it spacious (width wise) for myself. I would def not purchase it for someone larger than me. Hope that helps!!

. I would look for a wider pottie... I think the pottie is solid enough but its a bit narrow.. Im about 230 and i would of liked a wider pottie...

The 300lbs is for the total gym itself so nothing fails during use to avoid injury. Bar doesn't have a ton of room on each side for plates. You can fit a decent amount though.

Hmm. Good question. I weigh 178 so no problems and my friend who is 200 uses it all the time. My very rough guess is that if you weighed north of 230 I'd try one first.

I doubt it. I had to return one that I bought because the sizes they gave were for the box it came in, not the actual seat. If you don't need the backrest, I'd recommend Ez2care Adjustable Lightweight Shower Bench, which is what I finally purchased and am very satisfied with. The actual width to the outside of the feet is 15-1/2 inches, so I don't have to be concerned about the curvature of the tub. The seat fits well in my tub.
