Raised Toilet Seats

Standard toilets may be fine for normal family use, but they are not usually manufactured at an optimal height for adults, let alone adults with disabilities or arthritic joints. Raised toilet seats ease the physical burden of getting up and down from the low seated position required by most toilets. Raised toilet seats usually consist of an add-on unit that sits atop a normal toilet. These units are designed for comfort and sanitation. Most are clamped onto a standard toilet and often slant forward slightly for easy seating. Some units feature expanded cutaways and splash protectors to preserve the basin space we are accustomed to. Additional features may include padded hand rails for safety, cushioned seats for comfort, and ability to fold for easy transport.
