Raised Toilet Seats

How Raised Toilet Seats Support Independent Living

1. Improved Accessibility: Raised toilet seats reduce the distance you need to lower yourself when sitting down or getting up, making it easier and less strenuous to use the toilet independently. This feature is especially helpful for those with arthritis, hip or knee issues, or anyone recovering from surgery.
2. Enhanced Stability: Our raised toilet seats are designed with stability in mind. Many models come with adjustable brackets or secure locking mechanisms that ensure the seat stays firmly in place, providing you with the confidence and security to use the toilet without assistance.
3. Comfort and Convenience: The additional height offered by raised toilet seats makes sitting and standing more manageable, reducing the need for assistance and giving you greater freedom to use the bathroom on your own terms. Some models also come with added features like padded seats or integrated armrests for extra comfort and support.
4. Discreet and Practical Design: We understand the importance of maintaining a bathroom that feels comfortable and inviting. Our raised toilet seats are designed to be functional yet discreet, blending in seamlessly with your existing bathroom setup while providing the necessary support.
5. Simple Installation: Installing a raised toilet seat is a quick and straightforward process that doesn’t require any special tools or plumbing modifications. This ease of installation ensures that you can start benefiting from greater independence in no time.

Do Raised Toilet Seats Fit All Toilets?

Raised toilet seats are designed to be compatible with most standard toilets, including round and elongated bowls. However, it's important to choose a model that matches the shape and size of your toilet to ensure a secure and comfortable fit. At Better Independent Living, our range of raised toilet seats includes various sizes and designs to suit different toilet styles, ensuring you find the perfect match for your bathroom.

Are Raised Toilet Seats Safe for the Elderly?

Yes, raised toilet seats are safe for the elderly and are often recommended to enhance bathroom safety. These seats reduce the effort required to sit down and stand up, minimising the risk of falls or strain. Many of our raised toilet seats come with additional safety features, such as non-slip surfaces, locking mechanisms, and armrests, which provide extra stability and support. This makes them an excellent choice for elderly individuals looking to maintain their independence while ensuring their safety in the bathroom.
