Toilet Seats & Cushions

Ring or u-shaped lavatory cushions which make sitting down on the toilet more comfortable.

People who find sitting for any length of time on the toilet may find a cushion beneficial.

Padded foam toilet cushions - available in various sizes and heights, these cushions come with wipe-clean exteriors.

Gel toilet cushions - these are designed for use with conventional toilet seats on commodes, mainly for people who have to spend long periods sitting down.

Gel based cushions have renowned pressure relief properties.

Most lightweight foam versions attach to the existing toilet seat, with hook-and-loop straps which wrap around it.

Other similar products have velcro straps.

Both methods make them easy to add and remove as required.

Plastic raised toilet seats are often of benefit for people who have difficulty sitting down to a toilet of standard height.

This may be because of illness, disability or general loss of mobility.

Raised toilet seats usually replace the existing lavatory seat.

They are more substantial than a toilet seat cushion, and in most cases provide a much greater raise in height.

This type of toilet seat needs more than straps to keep it in place.

Instead, clamps fix it in the desired position. They grip the toilet pedestal, which in most cases can be hand-tightened.

This means they don’t require any tools for installation.

The clamps keep the seat firmly in position, making it very stable for sitting on.

Each lavatory seat cushion has a maximum weight limit, so check the product’s description before choosing one.

There are bariatric toilet seats available which are both wider and have a greater weight tolerance than standard lavatory seats.

While most raised seats and cushioned toilet seats do not have lids, there are one or two options which do.

Check the images and description on the product carefully before making your choice.
