If you are experiencing difficulty getting on or off the toilet, which could be due to ageing, or surgery, there is equipment that can make this relatively simple task easier. This could, be adding some height to the toilet seat, make it easier to stand, or maybe by adding some rails to help support the transfer from the toilet.

An example of a raised toilet seat is the Savanah which is complete with a lid, preferred by many, which is offered in three heights 2 inches 4 inches or 6 inches. The raised heights, will of course, depend upon the height of the person using this and must allow the persons feet to touch the floor. This simple addition to the toilet makes getting on and off easier and also reduces strain on the joints. The Savanah raised toilet seat with a 2” height adjustment is priced at £32.89 inclusive of VAT.
