Raised toilet seats

Raised toilet seat – effective help for problems with the musculoskeletal system

A raised toilet seat is an attachment for the toilet that can be quickly and easily attached to any commercially available model. There are models that have to be screwed on, while others are just hooked in but are still secure and stable. The booster seats are also suitable for very high body weights and can usually hold up to 200 kg. They have good anti-slip protection so that the user has a good grip even if they are physically impaired.

Who is a raised toilet seat useful for?

A raised toilet seat can be useful in many cases, for example after accidents or during rehabilitation. Especially when problems with the musculoskeletal system arise that make it impossible to use low toilets. However, a booster seat is often used by older disabled people who have problems bending over. A booster seat is also a great help for hip and knee problems if sitting down and standing up causes pain. Without a booster seat, outside help would often be necessary when going to the toilet. Thanks to the raised seat, the toilet is at a comfortable height; bending down is no longer necessary and getting up is made easier.

What variants are there?

The raised toilet seat is available to buy cheaply as a replacement for the existing toilet seat or just as an attachment. There are both models with and without a lid. The model with a lid is visually more attractive and also more hygienic, but the lid has to be opened and closed, which can cause problems if you are physically impaired. The raised toilet seat is available in different heights. The maximum height is usually 15cm, the minimum height should be 5cm. There are also models that are height adjustable. There are models with armrests for additional support when getting up. These can be permanently installed, but can also be folded up or removable. Especially in conjunction with an additional handle on the world, armrests are an excellent aid if getting up causes problems. There are specially padded booster seats for additional seating comfort or for problems in the buttocks area.

Raised toilet seat for small children

There are also special booster seats for the toilet for small children. These are simply placed on the toilet seat, but are still secure and stable. They can be removed quickly and easily. A raised toilet seat is particularly helpful for small children who are already clean and use the toilet instead of the potty, but do not have enough support on the normal toilet seat. With the addition of a small step stool, small children can use the toilet independently. Raised toilet seats for children are available in bright colors or with motifs.
