Drive Medical 2-in-1 Raised Toilet Seat with Removable Padded Arms - Elevated Bathroom Safety Support - Secure Locking Attachment - Easy Height Assistance - Durable Plastic Construction

Fits great on oblong toilets. Was a life saver after having knee surgery. Easy to install and remove to clean.

This item is so relaxing and comfortable. This is easy to install and cleans well. It is sturdy.

How much do I like this raised toilet seat? I bought three for me and three for my elderly parents - total six. Super easy to assemble, sturdy, and a great height for seniors or anyone with a hip or knee replacement. Have had them for over a year now and can attest to their durability and easy set up.

I broke my hip the first of August. When I was in rehab they suggested this seat. It brought my toilet seat to 19”, I am 5’10”, was a good height for me. The rails on the side worked great for me I have plenty of room when using it, I weigh about 120#. I really didn’t like the fact it didn’t have a lid, I have a small bathroom and was afraid I might drop something in the pot. The top is easy to keep clean, but I am 84 and someone was always tightening the knob on front, I couldn’t loosen it to clean the bottom, but I got it off today and the bottom was absolutely disgusting. It had been about 2 or 3 weeks since I cleaned it. It was not easy to clean. I suggest wiping it down daily top and bottom. I took off one star because of how hard it was to loosen it to get the seat off of the toilet to clean I thought about taking off two stars. Works great, is not easy to clean the bottom of the seat.

Perfection and very helpful. It was so much easier to use the restroom by myself after my foot surgery because of the height and handles. It was easy to take on and off as other people needed to use the restroom at home. I would definitely recommend.

This 3 star review just pertains to my specific situation, but here goes: I am a 5'4", 135 lb, female who just had a hip replacement. Our current toilets are all "comfort height" (~17"h) but it was recommended that I get a raised toilet seat with handle assists to help during my recovery. I bought this based on the ease of installation and the Drive reputation. We'd already had the need to purchase assist products for our parents in the past, and the Drive brand was always very reputable and of great quality. The quality of this is of true Drive standards. Strong, sturdy, well made and very easy to install. What didn't work though, is that adding 5 inches of height to our 17" high comfort height toilets means that my feet don't even touch the floor. This raised seat adds too much height which was even more painful for my new hip, than sitting on just the toilet without it. Truly, I felt like Edith Ann (if you're of a certain age, you know what I'm talking about) with my feet swinging off the floor. In addition, it's not clear in the photos, but the opening of this riser is quite a bit smaller than the full opening of the toilet without it. The seat part is very bulbous and that cuts down on the opening size by quite a bit. At the risk of TMI, a normal seat sort of cradles your behind, but because the seat area of this one is much larger, it feels like you're just sitting on a hard plastic seat. Ours is an elongated toilet and the opening that this riser has is even smaller than a round toilet opening. We also have a hand held bidet spray connected to our toilet and this smaller opening would not be conducive to using the spray either. The last thing to mention is that the look of this (even tho it's not meant to be a permanent seat) is very "institutional". It just looks like a seat that a care/rehab facility would have on their toilets. I will shop for another riser in the 3" inch height range. Hoping to find one that is just as easy to install with assist handles too. If your toilet is lower and not already of comfort height, then this may work for you. If you're in the 6' +/- height range, then this might also work for you. Unfortunately, it did not work for me. * * update: check this one out. This is the one I decided on. It's a 3" riser, looks and feels like a regular seat, and is just as easy to install. A bit more expensive, and without handrail assists, but completely worth the extra cost. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C65N2786?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

I purchased this raised toilet seat for a family member who has just had a hip replacement. Although, she does not live with us, I tried this elevated seat on our own toilets, while she was still in rehab. Even though it did not fit over our plastic toilet seats, it did fit securely when placed directly on the porcelain bowl. Therefore, there is the option to remove the existing seat for a good tight fit. The 5” raised seat is an assistance to stand from a seated position, along with the padded arms as an extra help for support. Additionally, there is the option to remove the padded arms if they are not necessary or in the way. No tools are necessary for installation as it has a twist knob to secure on either the existing seat or the porcelain toilet bowl, and with a weight capacity of up to 300 lbs. In the front of the seat is the twist knob that controls the tightening mechanism and this is how this raised seat attaches to the bowl. The arms attach to the seat by sliding in the side with a self-locking feature, and no tools are required to insert the arms or to remove them. Due to my own inexperience with this type of an item, and since I was not sure how this would work, I made a short video to explain exactly what to expect. As previously mentioned, this toilet was not to remain in our home. Therefore, I left our own ‘existing toilet seat’ on for my demonstration, although if the elevated seat is only for a temporary situation, then the existing seat could remain in place.

It works much easier to get up off toliet do not need to bend my knees to get up very sturdy and locks in position no moment just if you have big hips it is a little narrow but wide enough to make it work all you have t do is just turn knob all the way to right to lock in position and sit
