Risers

There are two types of risers: some go between the floor and the toilet to raise the entire unit, while others are mounted on top of the bowl and raise just the seat. Some risers that lift the seat come with handles that can help you balance as you sit and stand.

The height risers provide make it easier to sit down and stand up from the toilet, so they're great options for anyone with general weakness or knee pain.

If you are interested in replacing your standard height toilet with something taller but don't need the extra height that risers provide, check out these universal height toilets. Depending on the brand and model, universal height toilets and integrated bidets have a seated height between 16.5" and 19", whereas a standard height toilet can have a seated height as low as 15". Universal height toilets are also known as luxury height toilets.
