Best Disabled Toilet Seats
Getting on and off the toilet shouldn't cost you your independence. A disabled toilet seat adds height, support or a gentle lift. We carry raised toilet seat, toilet lift seat and over toilet frame styles in our bathroom aids range, so you can find the right fit at home.

Types of Disabled Toilet Seats
We group them into three styles. The best one depends on how much help you need.
Raised Toilet Seats
A raised toilet seat sits on your existing toilet bowl and adds 5 to 15cm of height. Less bending means sitting down and standing up take less effort. Some fix on with clamps or brackets, and others strap on. A raised toilet seat with armrests gives you something firm to push up from, while a padded toilet seat cushion adds comfort. See our full range of raised toilet seats.
Powered Toilet Lift Seats
A powered toilet lift seat does the lifting for you. It sits over the toilet and raises and lowers you at the press of a button. Battery-powered models need no wiring in the bathroom. Some also come with a remote control, a bidet or a bed pan.
Over Toilet Frames with Seats
An over toilet frame is a free-standing frame with its own seat and armrests. It stands over the toilet, so there's nothing to fix to the bowl. Choose steel or aluminium, with options that include a lid or splashguard. Browse all our over toilet frames and toilet surrounds. Not sure which suits you?

How to Choose a Disabled Toilet Seat
Start with your toilet and how much help you need. Then check these two things.
Height and Fit
Sit on a firm chair and measure from the floor to the back of your knee. Your ideal seat height is close to that number, with feet flat and knees about level with your hips. Raised seats suit standard bowls, so check the fitting guide on the product page against your toilet before you order.
Armrests and Weight Capacity
Armrests give you something steady to push up from and lower down onto. If you lean on them a lot, a seat with armrests or a frame suits better than a plain seat. Many of our raised toilet seats have a safe working load between 136kg and 190kg. Always pick a rating above the user's weight. Want more support? Pair your seat with wall-fixed toilet rails.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I keep a raised toilet seat in place?
Choose a seat with fixing clamps or brackets that grip the bowl. Tighten them firmly and check them often. Cushion styles strap onto your existing seat.
Is there a portable toilet seat?
Yes. Many clamp-on and strap-on raised toilet seats come off with no fuss, so you can take one when you travel or visit family. Check it fits the toilet you'll use.
What height raised toilet seat do I need?
Measure from the floor to the back of your knee while seated, then take away your toilet's height. The gap is roughly the raise you need. Our seats come in 5cm, 10cm and 15cm heights.
Can I get a disabled toilet seat funded through NDIS or My Aged Care?
Often, yes. NDIS plans and Support at Home funding may cover a disabled toilet seat. We recommend checking with your plan manager or care coordinator first. Our NDIS FAQ explains the process.
