Do you know if this would fit in a standard bedside commode? I just returned home after having my leg amputated & can use help staying clean. Thanks.

I am not sure of the dimensions of your bedside commode, but the sitz bath measures approx. 14.5 inches wide and 14.5 inches from front to back. The bowl (measured from bottom) is 8 inches wide and 9 inches from front to back. The bowl itself is about 3 inches deep. It fits my regular toilet with the seat up. I hope this helps. Wishing you a smooth and quick recovery!

If you can raise the toilet SEAT it fits. It will not fit onto the seat itself! Hope this helps and God bless you with your recovery!

Well, its up to you. It has a removable cover, so basically you can washed, and keep it clean. Inside has a durable sponge. Also, you can cover with extra towel, or with used sheet. Im using this elevate my legs, after my hip surgery, not for sleep.

I never bought this table, sorry! I did buy 2 round bedside tables from the same company and was happy with them but not this one. Good Luck!!

Purchased this & my husband could not use due to hip surgery restrictions. This was due to configuration of the bathroom. I donated it. Sorry

You have to raise the seat up and put it on the base of the toilet. My main bathroom has a rounded toilet seat and the master bathroom has an elongated seat, but that seat isn't as big as the ones I encountered at hotels, so it fit both types. I love this seat. It has saved my knee. I'm still using it, though my knee is better because I find I go better in the higher position.

I used the hospital bed pads. If you have a washable pad that works as well.

I do not know. we have a standard bed. you might ask an occupational therapist this question, even if you are not usingthe services of a home health agency, they usually will be happy to answer questions for you.

The urine will flow into the plastic bag due to gravity. It's designed to be hung next to the bed, I think. If the bag is higher than the urinal part then it's not going to work. It doesn't come with a lid (at the opening where you insert your penis). The plastic bag is pretty thin and breakage somewhere on the bag does occur. The concept is great but the execution, the material, etc. need improvement. It's a shame since this is such a fabulous idea for the patient and the caregiver alike.

well.. obviously it depends upon the size of the hospital bed.. but I am retired from healthcare.. so I would say if you are talking a STANDARD size hospital bed.. Yes, it should fit ok.. also, My bed is an ADJUSTABLE bed.. like a hospital bed... size TWIN XL and the cover stays on well through all the various adjustments.. my bed is VERY close to a STANDARD size hospital bed.. So, if you buy the TWIN XL size cover, for a STANDARD size hospital bed.. my best reasoning would think you should be ok..

Depends on the height of your mattress. It comes about 15 inches over the top of our mattress. I has been a literal lifesaver for us as my husband can hold on to it to pull himself up and to get his balance before standing up. Before the Medline Assist Bar he slid out of bed many times and had a very hard time getting us without assistance. Now he can do it himself! Saves straining my arms to help him. A real lifesaver!

Hard to answer without knowing the height of the bed and how you would use in said bed. I use it in my living room directly in front of my easy chair sliding it back over my legs to eat or use a laptop or whatever. I had to adjust the legs to reach just the height that I felt comfortable for its use. It slides easily on my floor so no problem with that, but all these things are variables depending on your own location and use. I can say that if you are looking for the sturdy long type of hospital table that wheels over a bed for that type of use, this is not it. This one is smallish and less sturdy but my apt. is small and for me this does the trick. I don't think it would serve well as over the bed type table. Better off looking for the more substantial hospital type wheeled table.

I like the smaller size as I use it on my bed to massage my calves and lower back. Just move it around. It's a preference. I think the 18 in is too long. My son has that one.

Sorry, I do not know the size of a hospital bed. My mattress is almost 12" thick and it fits just fine.

I haven't used it in this manner .legs have 7 spaces to adjust up so I think you could use over a commode.

In my experience as an RN, I would want larger pads for my patients if they could turn themselves in bed. It would also depend on what type of adult diapers were being used. It wouldn't hurt to try these as they are inexpensive. If not satisfactory, you could try overlapping to widen them. I hope this helps.

Hi. Our commode is oval and somewhat elongated, and the sitz bath fits just fine. The holding power(?) of the device is the side parts of the bath. Actually, you wouldn't want the commode to be TOO short because the overflow holes in the front and th back need some space around them to shoot excess water back into the toilet, not onto the floor. In other words, there NEEDS to be a little gap both in front and behind the bath.
