A seating device which comprises an inflatable seat (4) and an inflating means which provides for the controlled inflation and deflation of the seat. The seat (4) comprises a chamber defined by top, bottom and side walls (12, 13) which is connected to the inflation means. The inflation means comprises a motorised fan unit (20) and a control valve (6) connected by a supply pipe (10) to the seat (4). The device is inflatable from a deflated position on the base of a support surface such as a bath to an inflated position adjacent the rim of the bath such that a person sitting thereon can easily enter or exit the bath to bathe. The device is of particular use for handicapped or elderly persons and does not require mechanical actuation means and has sufficient inflatable characteristic to enable the seat to remain in a fixed position in relation to the bath. |
