High / Raised Toilet Seats FAQs

What is a raised toilet seat?

A raised toilet seat is an assistive device designed to increase the height of standard toilet seats.

It is placed on top of the existing toilet seat to provide a higher position for individuals who may have difficulty sitting down or standing up from a low toilet.

Who can benefit from a high toilet seat?

High toilet seats can be beneficial for many groups of people!

People with limited mobility: Individuals with reduced mobility may struggle to bend their joints or put weight on their lower limbs. But a higher toilet seat alleviates strain and facilitates easier transfers.

Elderly individuals: As people age, they may experience a reduction in mobility and strength that makes it hard for them to lower themselves onto a standard toilet seat. A raised seat helps them maintain independence and prevents falls or accidents.

People with balance issues: Those who struggle with balance or have a higher risk of falling can benefit from a high toilet seat: the increased height provides a stable platform for sitting and standing.

Caregivers: High toilet seats can also benefit caregivers who assist individuals with toileting. The raised height makes it easier for caregivers to assist with transfers and maintain proper body mechanics while providing support.

Individuals recovering from surgery: Procedures involving the lower body, including hip replacements and knee surgeries, can have a lengthy recovery time. But a raised toilet seat can aid recovery by reducing strain and minimising discomfort during toileting.

What features should I look for in a disabled toilet seat?

Look for the following features when picking the right accessible toilet seat:

Height adjustability: You should be able to adjust the height of your raised toilet seat for optimum comfort. Adjustable height options allow for maximum customisation based on individual preferences and requirements.

Compatibility: Verify that the raised toilet seat is compatible with your specific toilet. While most models are designed to fit standard toilets, it's essential to check the specifications or consult the manufacturer to ensure compatibility. Some models may have specific requirements or limitations, such as elongated toilets or special mounting systems.

Weight capacity: Check the manufacturer's guidelines for weight restrictions. Different models have varying weight limits, meaning you need to choose a seat that can safely support the weight of the intended user.

Stable and supportive structure: Ensure the raised toilet seat has a sturdy construction and secure locking mechanisms to provide stability. Look for models with strong attachment points and reliable locking mechanisms to prevent shifting or wobbling during use.

Are high toilet seats compatible with all toilets?

High toilet seats are typically compatible with most standard toilets, but you should always check the manufacturer's specifications to confirm.

Although many raised toilet seats are designed to fit most toilets, variations in toilet shapes, sizes, and mounting systems may affect compatibility. Before purchasing your model, consider the following:

Toilet bowl shape: Raised toilet seats are generally designed to fit round or elongated toilet bowls. Check the product description or packaging to confirm whether the seat matches your specific toilet bowl shape.

Mounting system: Different brands of raised toilet seats may use various mounting systems, such as clamps, brackets, or adjustable brackets. You’ll need to ensure the mounting system of the seat is compatible with your toilet; if not, some models have adjustable brackets that accommodate different toilet sizes and shapes.

Seat size and dimensions: Consider the dimensions of the raised toilet seat and compare them to those of your toilet seat and bowl. Ensure that the raised seat will fit securely on top of your existing toilet seat without overhang or instability.

Are raised seats for the toilet easy to clean?

Raised toilet seats are designed to be easy to clean! Most models have smooth surfaces and are made with materials that can be easily cleaned or wiped down.

The plastic or resin materials used in their construction are often non-porous, which prevents staining and makes cleaning more convenient. Below, we’ve listed a few tips for keeping your raised toilet seat in tip-top condition:

Check the manufacturer's instructions: Refer to the instructions or guidelines for your raised toilet seat model before cleaning. They may provide specific cleaning recommendations or precautions to follow.

Use mild cleansers: Use mild or non-abrasive cleaning agents when wiping the seat. Harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners may damage the surface or cause discolouration, so you should avoid bleach or ammonia-based cleaners unless explicitly stated as safe.

Wipe regularly: Regularly wipe down the raised toilet seat with a damp cloth or sponge to remove surface dirt, grime, or spills. This will help maintain cleanliness and prevents buildup.

Pay attention to crevices or joints: Inspect and clean any crevices, joints, or hinges of the raised toilet seat. Use a soft brush or toothbrush to reach tight areas and remove accumulated dirt or debris.

Is there a weight limit for these high seats for the toilet?

Yes, there is typically a weight limit for raised toilet seats.

The weight limit refers to the maximum weight the toilet seat can safely support without compromising its stability or structural integrity. However, if no maximum user weight is specified, the toilet seat suits users of all sizes.
