Drive Medical Premium Toilet Seat Riser With Removable Arms – (Standard & Elongated Seat), 300 Lbs Weight Capacity

A raised toilet seat provides a safer environment
by helping prevent falls in the bathroom. The
seat raises the height of the toilet to a more
comfortable level, making it easier to sit down
and stand up. It also decreases the space
between the user and the toilet to help alleviate
any burden placed on the hips and knees.

To determine the best-raised seat for you, follow these steps:

Step 1: Determine the height needed.

• Measure the length of your lower back leg and add 2 inches. For example, if your lower back leg measures 19″, you will calculate the height as 19″ + 2″ = 21″.
• Measure the height of your toilet bowl and be sure not to include the seat and lid. For example 17″.
• Calculate the difference. In this example, it will be calculated as 21″ – 17″ = 4″. Therefore, you need a 4″ raised toilet seat! Note: If you calculate an odd number, round it up!

Step 2: Determine the shape of your toilet.

Toilets come in 2 different shapes

• Standard Round
• Elongated

To ensure you are correctly measuring your toilet bowl, measure from the center front to the center of the mounting holes.

Step 3: Determine which installation type is right for you.

• If you want the least secure fit, choose a raised toilet seat with a non-locking mechanism or locking with a knob mechanism.
• If you want a secure fit, choose a raised toilet seat with a locking mechanism (with tightening clamps) or bolted riser.

Note: If other family members share the bathroom, consider choosing an easily removable option. A riser will allow you to continue using your existing seat and lid.

Step 4: Determine which features are essential to you.

• Lid vs. No Lid.
• Hinge vs. No Hinge (Allows for easy cleaning).
• Armrests vs. No Armrests (Armrests aid transfer on and off the unit). Note the distance from your toilet to the wall when considering armrests.
• Contoured (Savannah) Style. The front of the unit contours gently downward, making getting on and off of the raised toilet seat easier. Both the front and back feature openings for ease of accessibility to take care of personal cleansing.

Safety Considerations:

1. Be sure to center your weight.
2. Routinely check for secure fit before using the product.
3. Use arm supports only for assistance. Do not use arm supports to support your full body weight.

Using a tape measure, measure the distance from the floor to the back of your knee for a raised toilet seat in a bathroom. From the floor up, measure the height of the toilet seat. Height will be determined by the difference between these two numbers. It’s vital to measure the width of your hips. Having adequate width is vital if you are selecting a raised toilet seat riser with arms.

First, check whether you have an elongated or round toilet. Following the instructions provided with the raised toilet seat will help you install it. Then Once you have found a seat that fits your toilet, follow the instructions for installing it. Depending on the style of the toilet, it will need to be fitted differently.

There is no one brand or model that can answer this question. You should choose a seat that provides the right amount of height, offers adequate support, can be easily cleaned, and is properly secured.

No one height fits all when it comes to toilet seats. It should be height-adjustable to meet the comfort and support needs of the individual using it. You can find more information about choosing the right height on the Carex website.
