NovaMedical Products Hinged Toilet Seat Riser, Lift Up and Down Raised Toilet Seat (For Under Seat), For Standard Seat, White, 1 Count (Pack of 1)

I’ve used 2 of these elongated risers for 2Toilets for the past several years …. They were perfect for or my needs !! I never had any difficulty cleaning them nor have I had any issues with the bolts losening and I’m wondering if that has occurred because they weren’t installed properly re others ?? Both of my purchases were for elongated toilets. I recently moved and now have one standard round toilet so will be purchasing a round riser. I have the other elongated riser on my second toilet and again … no problems.

My husband needed this after all the operations he had over the last couple of years. He had problems being able to get down low enough on the toilet seat and this helped a great deal. He doesn't have to use it anymore now, so we put it away for now, who knows when you'll ever have to use it again or maybe another family member may need it. It worked great for us.

I really like this raised toilet seat. I have 4 bathrooms in my house, and all of the toilets were too low. Since I have arthritis in my hip, I really need a higher toilet. I had a plumber replace one of the toilets. But it was too pricey to do that for all of them. For a while I was using one of those portable 4 inch toilet seat boosters, but those fit kind of loosely, and they sit directly on the bowl, so that the bottom of the actual seat is at your back.This toilet seat is the perfect solution, as it installs under the actual toilet seat, so you still get to sit on the seat that is part of the toilet. It's just higher. And you can still put the lid down. Also, it is easy to plunge or clean - you can raise both the toilet seat and the hinged booster seat underneath!It is pretty easy to install. You just have to remove the existing screws, then place the seat on top of the booster seat and screw in the long screws provided, by using a screwdriver on top while tightening the bolts underneath. There are 2 drawbacks. One is that the screw heads are quite bulky, so the screw head caps will no longer snap shut to cover them. However, you don't see this when the lid is up. The other is that over repeated use, the booster seat tends to loosen up a little, and you have to tighten the bolts again. Generally speaking once installed it is very sturdy and solid and safe. It's only after repeated use that it starts to get a little loose and has to be tightened again.The seat may not cover the booster seat perfectly, but it's close enough. It should be noted that this is designed for the round toilet bowls, not the elongated ones. When I was searching through the various products available, it seemed like there were many more expensive options. This seemed like the best solution at a reasonable price, especially when you need to buy 3 of them! I started with one, and then liked it well enough to buy 2 more!I am quite happy with this purchase.

Had hip replacement surgery and had to raise the toilet seats for recovery. We have elongated bowls. Many of the risers I found did not leave you a very large opening into the toilet or you couldn't use a standard toilet seat on them. This does both. We did have to get a new seat as the old ones on the toilets didn't hold on with the right kind of screw. But the new seats were simple to find at Home Depot (and similar). These gave great height, was nice to have a real toilet seat you can close, and they feel very sturdy. Note: if you also have the higher style toilet - this will REALLY get you up there. No problem for someone with long legs (me), but my short leg hubby wasn't as excited about these as I was - LOL! They also are easy to clean. Never thought I'd be reviewing toilet seat risers...but life is weird!!

I purchased this product for an upcoming hip surgery. I checked the fit and it is an almost perfect match for my Kohler elongated toilet and the inside dimension of the elevator was just a bit smaller than the inside dimensions of the bowl. If this had not been the case I could not have successfully formed the drip described later. I noticed some of the comments on how the bolts can loosen with use and how "stuff" can seep into the small space between the toilet bowl top and the bottom of the elevator. I am an engineer so I took on the challenge. I obtained some white silicone sealant and laid a small bead of sealant forming a "drip" around the elevator along the inside lower edge of the seat (extending and mimicking the small drip that is molded into the bottom of the elevator near the front). I then went to a local hardware store and obtained some Locking nuts for the bolts included with the elevator (these nuts are the kind with the nylon ring made into the top of the nut). The thread on my bolts is metric 10mm diameter with a 1.5mm pitch. These locking nuts were found locally at Tractor Supply Co. for about a dollar. Any good hardware store can match a proper locking nut to your bolt if you show it to them. It now works great. if liquid splashes on the inside of the elevator it will flow downward and drip off the "drip lip" into the bowl rather than seep into the space between the elevator and the top of the toilet bowl. I ran a few tests with a bottle of water and it performed perfectly. I could have sealed the elevator to the toilet bowl top with the sealant, but this would have made periodic cleaning more difficult, and required removal and reapplication of sealant after every cleaning. Also, if sealed to the bowl, any motion getting on and off the seat could break the seal and the seepage would return. My hip surgery is scheduled for the end of the month so I will update my review when I have more "battlefield experience". PS This solution will not prevent liquid from getting between the surfaces if the water rises to the top of the bowl.
