Falls in the bathroom are a major concern, especially for older adults or people with mobility challenges. EazyStep is a bathroom mobility aid designed to reduce that risk by combining three functions in one: a sliding seat, a support rail, and an entry aid for bathtubs and showers.
At the heart of EazyStep is a rail-mounted system that allows users to move between different areas of the bathroom while seated or supported. Two fixed rails — installed on the wall or ceiling — support a middle track, which carries a seat that glides along the path. This setup enables users to shift themselves safely from outside the tub into the bathing area, or to maneuver between a shower and sink without standing unassisted.
The product is designed to minimize the need for major renovations. According to the developers, installation typically takes just a few hours and doesn’t require extensive structural changes. That makes it a potentially useful option even for renters or shared households.
In terms of real-world impact, EazyStep is aimed at individuals who want to maintain independence in personal care without relying entirely on caregivers. It can also reduce physical strain on family members or professional aides. The creators describe it as a solution for those who might otherwise feel forced to choose between safety and autonomy.
Currently, EazyStep is available in Germany, where the cost can be fully reimbursed through national health or long-term care insurance. Coverage outside Germany has not yet been established, so availability and reimbursement options may vary in other countries.
While technical specifications such as weight capacity, seat dimensions, and compatibility with various bathroom layouts are not widely published online, the concept has gained attention for its simplicity and practicality.
For individuals facing daily challenges with bathroom access, EazyStep offers a compact, rail-based system that prioritizes support, dignity, and ease of use. Those considering such a solution should consult a mobility specialist to determine whether it fits their space and personal needs.
