Raised toilet seats are used to increase the height of a toilet seat, making it easier for users to sit down and stand up from the toilet. They are commonly used by people with mobility issues, balance problems, arthritis, joint pain, muscle weakness, or injuries that make it difficult for them to lower themselves onto a standard toilet seat or rise from a seated position.

Raised toilet seats come in different heights and may be used for various reasons. For example, some users may only require a slight elevation of 2-3 inches, while others may need a higher lift of 5-6 inches or more. Choosing the right height of the raised toilet seat will depend on the user’s individual needs and preferences.

In addition to increasing the height, some raised toilet seats also come with additional features, such as armrests or handles, that provide extra support and stability when sitting and standing up. Overall, raised toilet seats can help increase independence, safety, and comfort for users who have difficulty using a standard toilet seat.
