Our Favourite Handheld Shower Heads
Handheld shower heads are perfect for rinsing, and in instances when you may not need the power of a large shower head, for example when washing your hair in the bath. Cleaning is also made easier with handheld shower heads, as they're perfect for rinsing around the bath. The best idea for showers is to go for a handset along with a full shower head which will give you more of a luxurious shower experience.

Our Favourite Fixed Heads
Fixed shower heads are becoming the most popular option for modern showers due to their minimalist style and lush shower experience that they provide. They are becoming less of a big-ticket luxury item and more of an affordable solution, so it's no wonder they're in demand! They are also easy to clean as they have no hose, unlike shower handsets and rail kits, which can be a hinderance as the hose is susceptible to limescale or mould, so having the head attached to the wall or ceiling is the preferred option.

The best high pressure shower heads for your bathroom include ones that make the most of your high pressure, such as rain shower heads alongside a handset or body jets. This will ensure a luxurious shower and the perfect combination of temperature and flow, which will put you in a full state of tranquillity!
Here's some of our favourite rainfall showers.
Which Shower Heads are Best For Low Water Pressure?
If you have a low water pressure, we recommend opting for shower heads with clever nozzle designs that offer spray settings to help work with the pressure and give you a powerful shower. It's important to remember that not all showers will work in every home, so finding out your water pressure is vital.
Some shower heads have air injection technology which infuse air and water, creating luxuriously silky water for the ultimate shower experience. These low pressure showers can reduce your water consumption by up to 50% which will also save you pennies!
