The standard fabric we use to cover our bath shower chairs and toilet chairs is vinyl covered nylon with webbing straps. This fabric dries faster and is more porous. It is good for situations where the toilet, shower or bath chair is primarily and regularly used for bathing/showering.
The soft fabric was designed as an alternate cover for our toilet, shower and bath chairs for clients who needed greater comfort, especially for those with extreme curvature of spine. This softer fabric covering comes with a trunk strap that helps lateral positioning. It also has extra padding between the fabric and the toilet or shower bath chair frame.
