RMS Raised Toilet Seat - 5 Inch Elevated Riser with Adjustable Padded Arms - Toilet Safety Seat for Elongated or Standard Commode

I love it. It was easy to assemble and the height is great. No more struggling to get up. The only problem, which is really not a problem is it is cold when you first sit on it.😂

THE SIMPLICITY OF THIS ITEM IS SUPER AND CLEANING WILL NOT BE ANY PROBLEM AT ALL. ALTHOUGH SINCE IT WILL NOT BE USED AFTER OUR SURGERY, WE WILL MORE THEN LIKELY STORE IT WHEN NOT NEEDED. IT'S SO EASY TO SET BACK ON THE TOILET, I SEE NOT NEED TO LEAVE IT ON. THERE IS BUT ONE ISSUE THAT I CAN DEAL WITH EASLY AND THAT IS THE LOCK DOWN WILL NOT CLOSE TIGHT ENOUGH TO BITE ONTO THE TOILET BOWL RIM. AND IT DOES HAVE A BIT OF A WOBBLE FROM SIDE TO SIDE BUT AFTER I GET THE LOCK ISSUE CURED, I'M SURE THAT IT WILL BE JUST PERFECT. IT WOULD BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO MASS PRODUCE THIS TYPE OF ITEM AND HAVE A PERFECT FIT TO EVERY MANUFACTURER BUT THESE FOLKS CAME MIGHTY CLOSE. THIS IS GONING TO BE PERFECT FOR OUR APPLICATION AND WOULD NOT HESITATE TO USE OR RECOMMEND THESE FOLKS AGAIN.. GARY

Excellent product but a little shallow from front to back of seat for larger person

Nice product works great

At 6'1" and 250 lbs. this raised toilet seat just did not fit my bottom. If you are a person with a smaller to medium frame this seat might work and will be serviceable. The wide handles were nice butt useless if you could not sit comfortably on the seat and do your business. Also, you do have to remove your current toilet seat in order to install the RMS product. I have an elongated toilet seat that worked but the length and width of the RMS just did not fit my bottom. Installation is easy.

The product works as advertised (but see updates below). Elevates and provides handles to push against for lifting. Added bonus is ease of securing on toilet - set in place and twist front screw/adjuster until snug. In my case it does not require removal of existing toilet seat. (Update:had to remove toilet seat to provide enough room to shift my body over the small opening - see below). One of the handles is defective, but does not interfere with functionality or safety (rating: minus one star). No response from online inquiry after two days (rating: minus one star). Otherwise would have given a five-star rating. Safety note: be careful when installing the handles. Fit is very tight so it requires some force while holding down the pop-up button that holds it in place. It pinched the cr*p out of my thumb. One of the pop-up buttons collapsed and will not pop back up, hence the defective part. Update: Changing to 1-star. Still no response from customer service. Also, The previous review was before actual usage. Having used the toilet seat for one month after ankle surgery I find it hard to use. As a 5’11” 260lb male it is very difficult to sit in such a way as to have a bowel movement and urinate at the same time. The toilet opening is just too small. I also had to remove the side handles to have enough space to shift my body to accommodate the small toilet opening. I do not recommend for anyone unless they are small in size.

This seat has reduced my pain significantly while sitting on the toilet. It is light weight and well designed for easy/quick placement and removal. The arms are solid, stable, and at the perfect location for confidence while being seated - and standing. I definitely recommend this seat! This is obviously great for post-hip-surgery, but also great when weight and not-so-obvious padding have been lost due to illness. CAUTION: Get the optional arms, and, select a seat height that adds to your toilet height to match your knees. The seat rests upon the toilet body. I lost 40 lbs. with cancer - which eliminated almost all of my padding for sitting on a normal toilet seat. It was like wood against bone, with only a layer of nerves in between! In addition, I had hip surgery. I needed a seat that had a larger, flatter surface to better spread the pressure among all of the nerves in my thighs and buttocks, and a seat that was at a height that would match my knee-bend height to rest my thighs evenly on the entire surface - and not just on the tail of my hip bones. I can still remember my pain while waiting for this seat to arrive. And the pain I would probably still have if my surgical nurse had not brought this seat to my attention! Good luck!

The seat is exactly what we needed post-surgery. Pros: As advertised, easy to clean, easy to assemble, easy to install. Cons: I would have given an overall of 5 stars if it weren't for this. While it would lock in strong front to back, it still rocked severely side-to-side if you leaned on one arm alone and would easily pop off the seat! You need to always use both arms when supporting to get up or sit down. Something to look into.
