Carex Toilet Seat Riser, Elongated Raised Toilet Seat Adds 3.5 inches to Toilet Height, for Assistance Bending or Sitting, 300 Pound Weight Capacity Toilet Riser

My aunt, recently got surgery, and this was perfect. And it works easily and it's also easy to install, and it's the perfect height

Excellent. I had a knee replacement. This product kept my knee from overbending. As I recall it bolts on. I didn't install it. A friend did. I left it on. Pay attention to the shape of your toilet to buy it.

I thought I was going to have everything that I needed when returning home after an open abdominal hysterectomy. However, I soon realized that my low toilet was going to be a major problem for my comfort. It caused me a lot of extra pain while trying to sit and stand, and once sitting I could never get comfortable. After a couple of days dealing with this issue, I finally thought to order a toilet riser. It arrived the next day and my husband said it was very easy to install. It has made such a positive difference for my bathroom visits. I really wish I would have had it as soon as I came home but I’m grateful that I at least have it now. It’s very secure and it makes life so much easier right now. If you have a low toilet and go through any type of surgery that will require you to use extremely painful muscles while sitting and standing, do not hesitate to get this. The price is great too!

Easy to install and very secure. I like that the toilet seat mounts to the top of the toilet instead of just sitting on the riser. That's what has made them feel uncomfortable to me in the past. Having the regular toilet seat feels much more natural to use, but without having to get up from such a low position. This will definitely help him.

This was easy to install on my mom’s toilet after she had knee surgery. We had to find something… she would just drop to the toilet because leg wouldn’t bend. It’s perfect while recovering from surgery. It’s very stable and heavy quality. Fit perfect on the toilet.

I bought this in advance of knee surgery, but having tried to attach it to my toilet I concluded that while the seat itself seems sturdy, it has some fatal design issues. - The extra-long bolts included in the package have a larger diameter than typical and were too large to pass through the mounting holes in my fairly generic Kohler toilet seat. The bolts also have very large heads, so even if I could get them through the mounting holes, they would prevent the existing bolt covers from snapping down on them. - Each bolt includes a metal washer, a plastic washer, and a metal wing nut. The instructions don't say how to use the washers, although it seems like they would need to be on the top because the holes in the seat itself through which the bolts pass are absolutely huge and the bolt heads wouldn't be able to hold down the seat without the washers. However, that leaves only the metal wing-nuts anchoring the bolt to the toilet itself at the bottom, which seems like a great way to break the porcelain of the toilet if they're screwed down tight. I suspect I could go to Home Depot and find some bolts that are the same diameter/thread size as came with my Kohler seat but are long enough to pass through this seat riser, and which would work with my existing Kohler mounting hardware. But at this point that's too much trouble. This seat is going back.

In the end it worked, but what should have been a 5-minute installation turned out to be about an hour. The toilet seat assembles onto the riser and is held in place by two long bolts that replace the current toilet seat bolts. The first difficulty I encountered is that the bolt heads for the elongated bolts were so big that I couldn't close the caps that hide the bolts on the toilet seat. 10 minutes with a grinder and I was able to "modify" the bolts accordingly (see attached photo of before and after bolt heads). Next, the area at the back of the riser that the bolts go through is displaced about 10mm upward rather than lying flush on the toilet surface. This means that if you tighten the bolts, the front lifts up from the toilet. Why this was done, God only knows. I used the washers from the original installation hardware in a stack with some garden hose gaskets to create a shim stack to bridge this gap (see the photo, the gaskets compress some, so I guess the gap is 9-10mm). As a final touch, I added some double-sided tape between toilet and the riser at the front edge of the riser (you can seem some in the picture above, but in the final installation, the two pieces were replaced by a single piece about 2" wide at the front). It's rock solid now. It's pretty clear to me that whoever designed this has never installed one. Not a chance. I'm an engineer with over 30 years experience and this design could be improved significantly for little effort. It's kinda mind-boggling. Oh well, it's for my 93 year old mother who is coming over for Thanksgiving. I think it should help her immensely getting up and down. It's just a shame something should have been so simple was unnecessarily complicated.

Perfect fit
