10 Best Raised Toilet Seats

Choosing a Raised Toilet Seat

For those with mobility challenges and certain health conditions, getting on and off a regular toilet seat can be difficult to impossible. Installing a raised toilet seat (AKA an elevated toilet seat) is an easy and affordable fix.

A raised toilet seat is an extender to an existing toilet, under or over the lid, that lifts the seat height to a more comfortable level. And it’s a lot cheaper than replacing the entire commode. Making this small and simple change not only makes a bathroom more accessible, but safer, because it reduces the risk of falls.

Features to look for in a raised toilet seat:

• ADA compliant: Reaches 17- to-19-in. from floor to seat. Raised seats add three to five inches to the existing seat height.
• Shape (standard, round or elongated): Choose the one that fits the toilet you’re using.
• Arms and handles (fixed or removable): Fixed are the sturdiest, but removable ones let you customize the seat to meet your particular needs.
• Non-locking or locking (clamps, knobs or bolts): Clamps and knobs are great if you’re moving the seat on and off frequently. Bolts attach securely but take more time to remove.
• Safety extras: Consider non-slip feet, textured surface, splash guards and padded handles.
