Many people assume that bathroom falls are just part of getting older.
But sometimes the problem is much simpler. The toilet is too low,
and there's nothing nearby to steady yourself.
The good news is that you don't always need to
change the whole bathroom.
A raised toilet seat can put the seat at a more manageable height.
Some models even add extra places to hold onto.
So today, I'll walk you through the 8 best raised
toilet seats that can make the bathroom safer for you or a loved one.
And if you find something you
like I'll leave links to all the raised toilet seats
in the description below I've also tagged
each product throughout the video
so you can check them out number eight is the Homeland
if a standard riser feels a little too restrictive
this one gives you a lot more freedom around the
toilet it stands on four legs each angled outward
to create a broad base a support rod
is welded under the frame
and rubber feet sit on the bottom to provide a firm grip on tile
or vinyl floors the real standout
though is the adjustability the seat can sit anywhere from 18.1
to 23 inches high and the width can range from 19.1
to 23.2 inches that makes it easier to find
a position that works for your body whether you
need more clearance from the floor or simply
prefer a wider seat and speaking of room the seat itself measures 16
and a half inches across
so there's plenty of space once you sit down
the surface is non-absorbent which keeps moisture
from soaking into the cushion.
You also get two armrests with non-slip grips, so your hands have
something secure to grab when you need a little extra balance.
Number seven is the FitGod, which
is a better choice if you want a softer seat.
Hard plastic is common on toilet seat risers,
but it can get pretty uncomfortable after a while.
It's even tougher on sore joints if you
have arthritis or you're recovering from hip or knee surgery.
FitGod takes a softer approach with
a padded seat. It's waterproof, easy to wipe clean,
and much gentler on your joints. With a 450-pound
weight capacity, the frame
also has plenty of strength for everyday use. It's made from
rust-proof aluminum, but that isn't
the only thing keeping you steady here. Four legs spread the
weight across the floor, and each one ends
with a rubber foot for extra grip. I also like how much
room you have to dial in the setup.
The width adjusts enough to work with both round and
elongated toilets, and the height has
seven different positions to choose from.
At its highest, the seat reaches nearly 34 inches,
so taller users have quite a
bit more flexibility here.
There's even a little mesh pocket attached to the frame,
and I think it's more useful than it looks.
Your phone, wipes, or other small
items can stay right beside you.
Assembly is pretty simple too. The C-clip system
holds the frame together,
and you won't need any tools to assemble it. Number six
is the B-MISS Assurance.
It's made in the USA, which isn't something you see very often in this
category. Most raised seats today are made overseas
and sold under different brand names.
With B-MISS, you know where the product comes from,
and that can be reassuring if you ever
need a replacement part down the road.
Now, the design itself is pretty straightforward.
Instead of sitting on a four-leg frame,
it bolts directly to the bowl, and once attached,
it stays firmly secured even under your full weight.
It's also built for heavier users with
a 1,000-pound weight capacity.
At the same time, it raises the toilet by 3 inches, which can make
a lower toilet much easier to use.
And after all that, cleanup doesn't turn into another chore.
The clean shield design helps keep waste inside the bowl,
and the smooth plastic surface wipes
down easily. A little gentle cleaner and a quick wipe are all you need.
Number five is the Agriush,
and the main difference here is the front support bar.
It tilts forward by 25 degrees,
leaving more room between the bar and the front of the seat.
And that extra clearance matters for
men, since a straight bar can sit too close and get in the way.
You still have the support bar
to hold onto, but it stays farther out of the way.
Of course, Agriush doesn't just stop there.
After hip or knee surgery,
the amount of support you need can change from one day to the next.
The frame lets you adjust both the height and width around those needs.
You get seven height settings and four width settings,
which makes it easier to find a position that works for you.
And here's what one customer, Harry Gonzo, says.
So grateful for this.
My husband is 6'3 and 230 pounds,
and he recently had lumbar and sacral fusion surgery.
We couldn't manage without this.
It was easy to assemble and didn't weigh much.
Best of all, we can easily move it into the walk-in shower for bathing,
a lifesaver for the next month.
So if you're a man dealing with limited mobility after surgery,
this one is a great option.

Number four is the Drive Medical.
The five-inch lift is great,
but there's another nice touch on either side. The padded armrests
it right where your hands need them,
with a firm surface to press against for extra support.
And you can take them off whenever you want.
Just adjust the height to suit you,
then remove them once you no longer want the extra support.
Now, at just 5 pounds,
this one is easy to pick up and move when you need to.
Despite the lightweight design, it can still support up to 300 pounds.
Setup is just as simple.
No tools are needed, and the locking mechanism secures
the seat directly to your existing
toilet. A few minutes is all it takes to get everything in place.
The warranty is worth a
mention too. Drive Medical covers this seat for life.
You don't see that very often in this
category, and it's a nice extra to have.
Number three is the Carex Easy Lock. It lines up with
the toilet, locks down securely,
and takes only a minute or two to set up. There's no complicated
hardware to deal with,
and nothing bulky sits around the sides of the toilet. I'm also a big
fan of the built-in hand grips.
They're part of the riser itself, giving you a solid place to
hold on to when you sit down or stand back up.
Carex also shaped the seat around your body,
so it feels more natural than a flat piece of plastic,
and you don't have to worry about
getting the wrong shape.
This model fits both round and elongated toilets, so you have one
less thing to check before you order.
Number two is the Platinum Health Ultimate. It's a
three-in-one setup that works as a raised toilet seat,
a bedside commode, and a shower chair. But
the best part is that you don't need separate equipment for each job.
One frame can adapt to
whatever you need it for. Let's start with the toilet.
The frame slides right over the bowl and
rests on the floor, so there's no complicated installation.
You can adjust the height by hand
too, which is useful if you need a lower seat now
but want more height later. For bedside use,
just add the included pail
and lid it only takes a few steps and the chair is
ready for nighttime use then
when it's time for a shower you can move it
straight into the shower
the open design lets water pass through while the foam
seat stays dry and comfortable it's rust resistant too
so regular shower use
isn't a problem at 12.8 pounds it has
a little more heft than a basic riser but
you also get a sturdy frame
and a 300 pound weight capacity the fit is pretty
flexible, too. It works with both round and elongated toilets,
along with some less common
shapes and sizes. There's even an open bottom funnel
that directs waste into the bowl when
you set the seat higher.
Number one is the V. Look underneath the riser and you'll find a small
interior lip that sits inside the toilet bowl.
It adds another point of stability, so the riser is
less likely to slide or shift under your weight.
You won't see it from above, but it helps the
whole setup feel more secure.
But instead of replacing the whole seat, Vive works with what
you already have. The riser goes underneath
and adds three and a half inches of height.
Then a few included screws
and washers hold everything together. And if you aren't ready
to manage the toilet on your own,
the wider gap between the handles can be more useful than it
first appears. With 19 inches between them,
a caregiver can get closer to your side and help
guide you through the transfer.
There's less to work around and you have more freedom to adjust
your position, as they help you get seated or back on your feet.
Both handles have soft foam
padding too, so your hands have a softer grip
when you need that extra support. The only thing
you'll need to check before ordering is your toilet shape.
Vive makes this riser for both
round and elongated toilets,
with the same features on either version. And whichever
shape you choose, you get the same lifetime warranty.
And that's all for today. I hope
this list helped you decide on the perfect raised toilet seat.
