HIGH TOILET SEAT / TOILET BOOSTER SEAT
Installing a toilet seat riser is often necessary when the lower height of typical toilet seats causes knee, muscle or joint pain for elderly or disabled individuals. In addition, handicap toilet seats make it easier for seniors and taller people to sit down and get up effortlessly. With their low cost and easy installation, toilet risers are a great way to adjust the height of your toilet.
Difference Between Toilet Seat Risers and Raised Toilet Seats
Toilet seat risers and raised toilet seats are both high commode toilet seats, and therefore do both elevate the toilet seat, but not in the same exact way. A raised toilet seat is placed on top of the toilet, and used instead of the original toilet seat. In contrast, a toilet seat riser is installed on top of the rim of the toilet; between the toilet itself and its seat.
Raised toilet seats are usually easier to install than toilet seat risers, but often, a toilet seat riser will blend in more seamlessly with your bathroom decor, and therefore won’t detract much from the aesthetic appeal of the room.
Toilet Seat Riser & Raised Toilet Seat Types
Elongated Raised Toilet Seat vs. Round/Standard: The first thing to consider when purchasing a handicap toilet seat is whether you need an elongated seat, which is specially designed for elongated toilet seats, or a toilet riser marked as “standard,” which indicates compatibility with the more round-shaped toilet seats. Be sure to keep this in mind, as many toilet booster seats are labeled, “fits most standard toilets,” which refers to standard-shaped (or round) toilets seats, as opposed to regular toilet seats, as many people mistakenly assume. Older bathrooms usually feature standard, round toilet seats, while more updated ones generally have an elongated toilet.
Raised Toilet Seat with Arms: To further ease the transition between sitting and standing, some elevated toilet seats are equipped with handles. A raised toilet seat with arms can also provide stability and reduce the risk of falls for unsteady individuals or anyone with limited mobility. When choosing an elevated toilet seat with handles, you may want to consider options such as padded arms for comfort or removable arms for easier patient transfers. Do keep in mind, though, that a rising toilet seat with arms will probably take up more space in your bathroom, and will use up more packing space if you plan on traveling with it.
