Raised Toilet Seats

For anyone with stiff joints, hip or knee pain, or reduced mobility, lowering yourself onto a standard toilet — and getting back up again — can be one of the hardest parts of the day. A raised toilet seat (also called a toilet seat raiser) lifts the seat height by a few inches, shortening the distance you have to lower and push up, and taking the strain off your hips, knees and back. Every seat here fits quickly onto your existing toilet, qualifies for VAT relief, and comes with free UK delivery on orders over £15.

How to choose a raised toilet seat

• Height — raisers typically add 2, 4 or 6 inches. A higher seat is easier to stand from but should still let your feet rest flat on the floor. If more than one person uses the toilet, a height-adjustable seat lets everyone set their own.
• Fixed or adjustable — a fixed-height seat is simple and economical; an adjustable seat (like the EZY-FIT) sets to several heights in one design, ideal for changing needs or shared bathrooms.
• With or without a lid — choose a lidded seat if you would like it to look and work like a normal toilet seat.
• Your toilet shape — this matters more than people expect. Many modern UK toilets have square or D-shaped pans that ordinary round raisers will not fit. Our EZY-FIT seats are designed to fit both round and square pans.
• Extra support — if you would also like handles or rails to push up from, pair your seat with a toilet frame, or browse our wider toilet aids.

Will a raised toilet seat fit a square or D-shaped toilet?

Not all of them will — a lot of raised seats are made only for traditional round pans, which is why square and D-shaped toilets cause so much frustration. Our EZY-FIT seats are made to fit both round and square pans securely, so you are not left hunting for something that fits. If you are unsure about your toilet, measure the pan or give us a call and we will help you choose.

Frequently asked questions

What height of raised toilet seat do I need? Pick the height that lets you stand more easily while still keeping your feet flat on the floor. If in doubt, an adjustable seat lets you try different heights. People who are taller or have had hip or knee surgery often prefer a higher raise.

Will it fit my toilet? Our EZY-FIT seats fit both round and square pans. If you have an unusual shape, measure your pan or call us before ordering and we will check for you.

How does a raised toilet seat attach? Our seats fit onto the toilet bowl and clamp or bracket securely in place, with no plumbing or tools needed for most models. Each product page explains the exact fitting.
