Drive Medical 770-626 AquaSense Raised Toilet Seat with Lid, Standard Seat, White

Fits my toilet perfectly and solidly. As the ad states, this is a 4" riser, but the ad also states incorrectly that it is a 5.1 cm riser. 4" equals 10 cm, and this information is given correctly on the box. The lid is very thin and light but that's good, not bad, as far as I'm concerned. Most of the reported problems are when the seat does not fit. The INSIDE dimensions of my toilet boil are 11.0" left to right and 13.5" front to back. Some sellers say this seat is for "round" toilet bowls but NO toilet bowls are round. ALL toilet bowls are elongated. The version that's sold for "elongated" toilets would not, I'm sure, fit my toilet, even though my toilet is 2.5" longer front to back than it is left to right. A more proper description is that this seat is for toilets with a standard elongation and the seats for elongated toilets are for toilets with a more pronounced elongation. I had no problem installing the seat in less than a minute. Removing the old seat took about 3 minutes. The plastic clamps work extremely well on my toilet and the seat does not slide or rock at all. It appears that I could have left the existing seat and lid on, (in raised position.. it would not be possible to lower them with this AquaSense seat in place). However, I needed to replace my existing seat anyway since it was cracked, and this does the job perfectly, raising the seat by 4". I'm tall, but the 4" rise would not be a problem, I'm guessing, even for someone 5' tall unless the toilet was tall to begin with. With this raised seat installed, the seat is now 18" above the floor in my bathroom. That's the same height as the seat of a standard dining room chair.

We’ve been using these seats for several years and this brand is the best for us mainly because the lid is flexible plastic. We are very large people and others we have used in the past have lids that break because they were hard plastic. These are so easy to install and clean, but we do switch them out every year or so just because.

Save your money, it does not work. It does not fit on any of our 3 toilets. It requires a toilet with squared sides. It does not bolt on like a normal seat. It clamps to the sides and pops off. Its not returnable.

No inexpensive toilet seat raiser is perfect. Even the expensive ones aren't. I read a lot of reviews for a lot of different seats. I tried the Carex 3.5 inch elevator at first so I could use my existing seat. It was too high. Pretty much every toilet seat raiser is too high to keep your feet firmly on the ground when you're 5'4 and under unless you're wearing some shoes with at least a one inch lift to your height 24/7. This particular seat is not made of super hard, unbending plastic. There is some give. If you're more than 200lbs, I would look for something more sturdy, perhaps something "bariatric", even if you are super fit and all muscle. It's all about the weight support. I tried this seat both ways: on my existing seat and alone. On my existing seat, it would not completely fit in my existing toilet seat hole area, but it almost fit completely, and it gave a nice slow, angular rise, which I actually really like, because it keeps you from bending 90 degrees or more forward. Attached without the existing seat, it gave little rise and it was flat. I give this four stars, not five, because the product itself, without modifications, does wobble - on the existing seat or with it removed. I read another review somewhere about using dual sided sticky hook and loop (velcro) tape so I bought some on here. I tried it again, with this seat on my existing, strategically placing multiple round, sticky two-sided velcro tape pieces at the very front of the seat where it covers the original (or the ceramic toilet itself) and also ON and near the side screws. Either way - on existing seat or replacing it, it stays put very well. I've been home less than two days from hip arthroscopic labral surgery and I have not felt one bit shaky or concerned that I will fall. For reference, it is more invasive, more painful, and more time consuming a recovery than a hip replacement according to all of the medical professionals I spoke with and read research about. I will be on crutches/walker for 6-8 weeks. Some final thoughts: I have a round toilet seat. This is round as well. Even though it doesn't fit perfectly on the existing seat, in addition to the nice slant which may be helpful for some, depending on the type of surgery, this seat is easier to clean that way. Attached to the existing seat, I can lift up my regular seat and clean under there, instead of having to remove the entire seat. I weigh 160. I am able to sit on the toilet seat lid when it is closed. If you weigh more, I do not recommend that. Get a little foldaway bench you can sit on instead. I bought a two pack on here and use one in the kitchen and the other in the bath for sink activities and getting dressed. I am young. My injury is sports-related, not age related. I did not need a hip replacement, only some contouring and a new tendon. I was going to PT prior to the surgery to make sure I was strong enough in the shoulders and "good leg" to handle crutches, walkers, sitting and rising. If you are younger and fit, you probably could easily get along without this, especially if you're shorter. When I was in the hospital for obs just after surgery, the toilet in my room was no taller than my existing toilet which is your standard toilet without frills. In the hospital, I was able to get on and off of the toilet using my good leg without issue. Also, pain pills and muscle relaxants cause constipation. How you take care of your business is your own thing but it is something to keep in mind when deciding on whether to get a seat. All in all, I don't think it is a waste as it's less than 25$ and it gives peace of mind. It may come in handy after physical therapy if the muscles are extra sore. If it does help, I will update as I start PT today. If it doesn't make a difference, I'm probably going to remove the seat as I'd rather keep a greater range of motion for strength and quicker healing but I'll keep it as it may come in handy again in the future.

I love this toilet seat with lid! I recently moved into an apartment that has a 'child size' toilet! (so ridiculous!)I mean it's small and low to the floor! Within just a few days my knees(with osteoarthritis) were killing me... couldn't get off the toilet without pain throughout my knees and traveling up my legs a little! This toilet seat is perfect! It's comfortable and sturdy and I can stand right up now without all the pain! And it looks decent too. Not like those big old awkward ugly beige seats that elderly people had to use in the past! Took my son just a few minutes to install it (right on top of the original toilet seat) My kids are also impressed and said that I do not have to remove it whenever they come over. I also have a small stool in there that the smaller Grandchildren can use to get up there. This has turned into one of the most important purchases I've made in a long time and I urge you, if you have bad knees,(like me), to just buy it! Also, it IS returnable if you don't like it for some reason! As for me....I'm so happy with the purchase!

The original seat was just too low. I don't have bad knees but would have if I stayed with the original seat. This seat was easy to attach, even though it does not line up with the regular placement of a toilet seat. There are no bolts and screws to secure it to the bowl. It's tall enough to avoid to much bending and it sits over the toilet bowl so no chance of missing the toilet. I find it easy to clean, but troublesome if you have to remove it for major bowl cleaning. Lid is not an easy, silent closing lid. It slams shut and is thin. Overall, it satisfies my needs and knees.
