Why should you choose a comfort height toilet?

Have you ever wondered what the term means comfort height bathroom? (I know, weird topic). When I worked at Home Depot as a kitchen and bath designer, I often helped customers in the plumbing hallways. One thing I would always suggest when a client was looking to purchase a new toilet, or toilet as it is called in the architectural industry, was to consider purchasing a comfort height bathroom.

IN comfort height toilet is one that is slightly higher than a normal toilet. (An average residential toilet is 14″ to 16″ tall.) the height of a comfort height The seat can be anywhere between 17″ and 19″ tall. The best seat height is 18″, but if you find a toilet that you really liked about its features, like it will never clog or is a low flow toilet, then I would choose a height as close to 18″ as possible.

So why do the Comfort choice? Because it is much easier to go up and down. You don’t have to have limited mobility to appreciate the higher seat, either. It is easier on the legs while sitting if the seat is in the highest range. Of course, if possible, the size of the person using the bathroom should be considered: if Aunt Mable is 4′-10″, the Comfort-Height it probably wouldn’t provide comfort. Accessibility limitations must also be considered.

Another good option when choosing a new toilet is to choose the elongated bowl because it adapts to the shape of the human body more naturally than the round seat. The round bowl is reminiscent of outbuildings. So with those thoughts in mind, if you’re remodeling your bathroom, consider your wide selection of toilets and consider those that use or will use the toilet. It’s easier to plan for the future and make some comfort decisions now rather than later. If you have any questions or comments, please let me know. Take care.
