Toilet Seat

A raised toilet seat reduces how far a person has to lower themselves and push up again, which can be the difference between managing the toilet alone and needing help. Options include clip on raised seats in several heights, seats with armrests, padded seats and models with lids.

When choosing a raised toilet seat, measure the existing pan height and the user’s knee height to work out how much extra height is helpful without making feet dangle. Check the pan shape, as elongated and standard pans need different seats. Consider how the seat fixes on, whether it can be removed for other household members, and the safe working load.
