Lift-assist systems for adjustable objects are provided, which could include at least one of an enclosed spring and a substantially flat, elongated torsion spring. Suitable substantially flat springs could be configured to twist and untwist up to between 45-135 degrees when the seat or other object is adjusted between stowed and use configurations. In some preferred aspects, the spring could be made from a tempered steel material.

An improved locker seat includes a pair of spaced-apart upstanding sidewalls having a pair of lateral edges. A generally horizontal seat is disposed between the lateral edges of the sidewalls. In a first mode, an air source is connected to an airway formed within the seat to create an airflow. The airflow from the air source creates a first temperature differential to cool the seat. In a second mode, an external or internal heat source provides heat to a top surface of the seat, creating a second temperature differential to heat the seat. The first and second temperature differential are distributed across the top surface of the seat. The seat is hinged to be movable about the hinge between an open and a closed position.

An adjustable bathing booster seat system assists individuals with difficulty stepping into a conventional bathtub. It allows a user to be seated on a mechanically assisted seat member to maneuver them over the side of the bathtub and be lowered into the bathtub where they will be able to bathe themselves. When they finish bathing, they will then be lifted up and over the side of the bathtub where they will exit the adjustable bathing booster seat.

A bathing area accessory may be used within a bathing area. The bathing area accessory may be a bathing area shelving assembly, a bathing area bar assembly, a storage assembly, a bathing area seat assembly, or a shaving ledge assembly. The shelving assembly for use within a bathing area may include a niche and at least one shelf that is attachable to, removable from, and reattachable to the attachment portions of the niche. The niche may include attachment portions that receive and secure the at least one shelf. The niche may include two sidewalls that extend substantially vertically along a vertical length of the niche. The attachment portions may be on the two sidewalls and the at least one shelf may attach with a pair of the attachment portions that are vertically aligned with each other.
