A raised toilet seat is designed to make using the toilet safer and more comfortable. Our raised lavatory seats fit securely over the top of standard toilets, adding extra height that makes it easier to sit down and stand up. We also offer raised toilet risers with built-in handles or armrests for improved stability and reduced pressure on the knees and hips.
Our toilet seat risers are designed to help elderly, disabled, or injured individuals use the bathroom with greater safety and comfort. These raised toilet seats are especially helpful for people with conditions such as arthritis, joint pain, or reduced mobility. By reducing the distance to sit or stand, they make everyday bathroom use significantly easier.
Each raised seat is designed to fit securely over most regular and specialist toilets. They are particularly useful for anyone who struggles with bending or squatting due to pain or stiffness in the back, hips, or knees.
CareCo’s raised toilet seats feature:
Non-slip, odour-resistant materials for better hygiene
Adjustable height options to suit individual needs
Tool-free installation for quick and easy setup
Discreet in design, they blend seamlessly into private homes as well as professional care settings.
No. While all of our raised toilet seats are designed to fit most standard toilets, they may not be compatible with every shape or size. Always check your toilet’s dimensions, shape, and mounting system against the manufacturer’s instructions before purchasing.
How do you attach and secure a raised toilet seat to a toilet?
+
Attachment methods vary by model. Some padded seats use hook-and-loop straps, while others feature adjustable brackets that securely fix the seat to the toilet. Always follow the instructions for your specific model to ensure safety.
How to find out what size raised toilet seat you need for your height?
+
There’s a simple way to work out what size raised toilet seat you require:
Sit on a flat chair (like a dining chair) with your feet flat on the floor and measure the distance from the floor to the back of your thigh.
Measure the distance from the floor to your current toilet seat.
The difference between the two measurements is the height you need for your raised toilet seat.
If you’re unsure, our helpful staff in CareCo stores will be happy to assist.
Are raised toilet seats standard size?
+
No. Raised toilet seats come in various heights, with the most common being 2 inches, 4 inches, and 6 inches. This allows you to choose a seat that best suits your needs.
Are raised toilet seats safe for the elderly?
+
Yes. Provided they’re fitted correctly, raised toilet seats are perfectly safe for the elderly. In fact, they help to make using the toilet safer and more comfortable for elderly users. A raised toilet seat will reduce the bending angle at which the user sits on the toilet, therefore making it much easier to stand up and sit down without assistance.
Is a raised toilet seat better than a safety frame?
+
A raised toilet seat and a toilet safety frame are both different products for different needs and serve different purposes, therefore it’s not possible to say which is better than the other. A raised loo seat is a great choice for those who have difficulties bending down, whereas a toilet frame helps provide more stability for those who require it when getting up and down.
Do I need a raised toilet seat after hip replacement?
+
A raised toilet seat is often recommended following hip replacement surgery to reduce strain and maintain proper posture while using the toilet. Always follow the advice of your surgeon, doctor, or other medical professional.
