It's true that the elevation of your toilet ought to be as crucial as taking into consideration the fundamental aspects of replacing your simple chair. Are your feet in contact with the floor when you sit down in the chair? Do you use your arms to lift yourself up out into the chair?

Toilet Height

• Standard size: The normal height of toilets is between 15 and 16 inches tall. This is the standard size that you'll find in the majority of older homes; however, as homeowners upgrade, the comfortable height of toilets is increasing in popularity.

• Comfort height: They vary from 17 to 19 inches and are designed for adults with a normal height or who have difficulties getting up from the seat. They are increasing in popularity in public spaces in order to comply with the requirements.

Factors to Consider

It is essential that when sitting on the toilet, both feet are on the floor. Although a toilet that is taller can occasionally make the task easier for the disabled or elderly to stand, not every member of the family might appreciate the extra height.

Do a measuring: Lie on a solid chair (not the overstuffed recliner) that will allow both feet to be securely planted in the ground. Measure from the knee's crease towards the ground. The number you get will provide you with an idea of the toilet's height that is best for your comfort.

If you require assistance in getting off the toilet, think about installing an elevated toilet rail that can be adjusted to match the height, as well as provide an extra level of assistance. The amount of bathrooms available and the people who will use them will determine if you need to install various heights of toilets in your bathrooms.
