Better Independent Living

For many people with limited mobility, taking a relaxing bath can become a real challenge. Stepping in and out of the tub safely is no easy feat, and traditional bath lifts can feel bulky or clinical. That’s where the Mangar Bathing Cushion shines, offering a safe, simple and dignified solution for anyone who struggles with bathing but still wants to enjoy their own routine in comfort.

What is the Mangar Bathing Cushion?

Developed by Mangar Health, a leading name in mobility aids, the Mangar Bathing Cushion is a lightweight, inflatable bath lift designed for ease of use and complete independence. It helps gently lower users to the bottom of the bath and raise them back up when they’re finished, no heavy lifting, no hard fixtures, and no compromise on comfort.

Powered by the Airflo 12 Compressor

The magic behind the cushion lies in the Airflo 12, a compact, battery-powered compressor that inflates and deflates the cushion at the touch of a button. It's quiet, reliable, and totally user-friendly. The hand-held remote control makes the entire process simple, even for those with limited hand strength or dexterity.

You can also choose to leave some air in the backrest while you bathe, giving extra support as you relax. Whether you want a full soak or just a quick wash, the cushion adapts to your needs.

Why choose this cushion?

Aside from its comfort and convenience, the Mangar Bathing Cushion has a number of practical advantages:

  • No installation required: No screws, no drills, just pop it in the bath.
  • Easy to carry and store: It weighs only 2kg, and the Airflo 12 has a built-in handle.
  • Safe and secure: Four strong suction cups keep the cushion firmly in place during use.
  • Battery safety feature: It won’t operate unless there’s enough power to lift you back out of the bath.
  • Perfect for home or travel: It’s compact enough to take with you on holidays or visits to family.
