Professional raised toilet seat fitting for Devon elderly residents - toilet seat raised to a comfortable height so sitting and standing is easier and safer.
Less Bending, Less Struggle
Standard toilets are low. Getting down is hard. Getting up is harder. A raised seat solves this. Higher sitting position means less knee and hip strain.
💡 Pro tip: Combine with grab rails for the best result. Raised seat plus something to hold makes toilet use much safer.
