Choosing a way to raise the height of your toilet can be a bit mind boggling as you will find there are many options available. How do you know which option is best for your needs? It's important to make a good choice due to the fact that these devices are non-returnable for obvious reasons (would you like to buy a toilet riser if it had been used by someone else)?
So it will help you to ask just what your needs are. Some solutions may be better than others depending on your particular situation. You might only need a temporary solution so a riser insert might suffice. On the other hand, if you or a loved one has chronic troubles using the toilet, a more permanent solution would be in order like a toilet spacer or even a taller fixture.
Frame Risers
Also, some options can be very expensive and who wants to spend a ton of money when you don't need to. So here are some things to consider when shopping for a suitable way to raise the height of your toilet, starting with the least expensive options:
Toilet riser insert -- these lightweight plastic inserts sit on the toilet bowl and come in a multitude of designs. Pros: These are a good short term solution in the event that you just need it for post-surgery comfort. They are easy to remove for others who use the same toilet, too. The least expensive models are made of lightweight plastic which simply raises the seating area by 3.5 inches to 5 inches. Many models come with clamp-like devices that hold the seat to the fixture, reducing the possibility of slippage. Cons: can be shifty and unsafe; some models are hard to clean.
Taller toilet seat -- this attaches to the toilet just like your standard seat. Pros: more secure than a loose toilet riser. Cons: They are not easy to clean and may not give the desired height.
Toilet Spacer -- Pros: Excellent semi-permanent solution for long term use; easy to clean; easy for all users; blends into bathroom décor; less than 0. Cons: requires some minor handyman skills to be installed between toilet and floor.
Seat/frame -- actually sits over the toilet. Pros: Gives user something to hold onto when sitting and standing. Cons: Medium price range; must be fastened to work properly and the frame is "clunky" and can be fussy to clean.
Taller Toilet fixture -- Pros: Probably the simplest permanent long term solution. Easy to clean (like any toilet). Cons: Needs new installation; relatively expensive.
Electric toilet lift seat -- Pros: like its recliner chair cousin, the electric lift seat actually lifts the user up to a nearly standing position. Cons: Most expensive option and fussy to clean.
As you can see, knowing what you need the riser for, how long you will be needing it and how much you can spend will help you decide the best solution when you want extra height on your toilet. Hopefully this article got you thinking about all your options before you spend the money.
