Round Toilet Seat Risers / Raised Toilet Seat for Round Bowl

Many seniors and individuals with joint or lower back pain find it difficult to sit down and stand up when using the toilet. One way to alleviate this issue is to invest in a standard round toilet seat riser or raised toilet seat, either of which will ease the process of getting on and off the toilet seat. 

A toilet seat is usually not more than 19 inches off the floor, and bending one’s body into the right shape to get so low down can be strenuous for elderly individuals. Since it can take time for someone with weak muscles to get into the right position, there is a dangerous possibility of losing one’s balance while getting down onto the toilet seat. A standard raised toilet seat reduces the distance between the toilet seat and the individual getting on it, so that this process won’t take as much time, and, therefore, there is less of a chance for the person to lose his balance. 

Round raised toilet seats measure approximately 17 inches or less. (A toilet seat that is longer than that is referred to as “elongated.”) Most older bathrooms have round toilets, and therefore, many seniors will need a round toilet seat riser to fit their toilet. An added benefit of round toilet seat risers and raised toilet seats over elongated ones is that these take up the least space in the bathroom. Some raised round toilet seats and risers feature arms for support, and some feature hinges so that they can be flipped up when necessary. 

Best Round Raised Toilet Seats 

A round raised toilet seat is a seat placed on top of the toilet instead of the original seat. Usually, the original toilet seat is not removed from the toilet; it’s merely flipped back, up against the rear side of the toilet. A standard raised toilet seat has a contoured shape, so that it’s relatively comfortable to sit on. The round raised toilet seat is quite similar to a standard toilet seat; the main difference being that it’s an elevated seat so that it’s easier to get on and off of.

Best Round Toilet Seat Risers

A round toilet seat riser is installed on top of the toilet, and then the original toilet seat is placed on top of it. This means that the user is sitting on the original seat, which has been elevated by means of the standard toilet seat riser. Using a round toilet seat riser feels almost exactly the same as sitting on the standard seat; like the round raised toilet seat, the key difference is that it’s higher up.
