How to Choose the Right Raised Toilet Seat

How to Choose the Right Raised Toilet Seat


1. Match the Bowl Shape

Make sure it’s made for your toilet—round or elongated—so it fits securely and doesn’t wobble.

 

2. Pick the Right Height

Measure from the floor to the back of the user’s knee, subtract the current seat height, and choose a riser that fills the gap—usually 2″, 4″, or 6″ 

 

3. Check Weight Capacity

Choose a seat rated for at least as much as the user’s weight—standard models hold 250–300 lbs, while bariatric versions go higher. 

 

4. Decide on Handles

If the user struggles with balance or strength, opt for a seat with armrests or handles. They offer vital support when sitting or standing. 

 

5. Secure Attachment

Look for locking or clamp-on designs for stability—these greatly reduce the risk of slipping
