Toilet Seats for Sitting with Comfort – 8 Reviews of 2023

We love how this toilet seat understands the planet’s needs: eco-friendly without quality loss. The Mayfair 1843S is made with high-density composite wood and glossed over with enamel paint to protect against stains, scratches, and moisture damage. This toilet seat can conveniently support up to 300 pounds.

It features the STAT-TITE Seat Fastening System that allows easy, un-restricted installation and easy removal when the need arises. The Mayfair Slow-Close toilet seat makes installation even easier by providing the necessary hardware, including the plastic screws that snap off their excess once you tighten them properly. Though they are plastic, they are not weak and have many sterling reviews to back them up.

This Mayfair toilet seat also has a Precision-Set fit system with front-to-back adjustability that allows you properly place the seat and works with its two grip-tight bumpers to keep the seat from shifting out of place when in use.

It also has whisper-close/quiet-close hinges, which take about 15 seconds to quietly and properly close the toilet seat ring and lid once you give the lid a slight forward nudge. The downside to this feature is experienced when you are in a rush. And because it does not have the quick-release function, you can’t hurriedly shut the lid without damaging the hinges.

The Mayfair Soft-Close toilet seat is a low-maintenance one. According to the manufacturer, all it needs is a mild washing agent (like dishwashing soap), warm water, and a soft clean towel to dry. Any agent beyond this could damage its texture and destroy the hinges.

The terrifying part about spoiling its hinges is you can’t order replacement parts because the hinges are fixed during molding. You’d also want to be careful with the edges because some customers report the enamel paint around that region peels quickly.

The Mayfair 15EC 000 Removable Soft toilet seat is available in round and elongated designs. It has a 3-layered structure: a wooden core overlaid with a cushioned material, which is in turn covered with vinyl material. 

The wooden core provides stability. Its cushioned seat offers convenience. And the vinyl material makes the seat easy to clean and water-resistant, amidst the protection against scratch, stains, and other agents. 

But despite all of this, the Mayfair 15EC 000 toilet seat weighs only 5 pounds.

This toilet seat has over five color selections and is fitted with adjustable hinges, the STA-TITE fastening system, and the necessary installation hardware to make it easy to install and detach. It also has two grip-tight bumpers that contribute to its anti-wiggle property. 

One exciting thing about the Mayfair 15EC 000 toilet seat is that it stays relatively warm even in cold temperatures,.

Like the Mayfair 1843S toilet seat, this Mayfair toilet is also low-maintenance. All you need to keep it clean are warm water, mild soap, and a soft, dry cloth. Since its hinges are plastic, they are not moisture-sensitive.

The Mayfair 15EC 000 Removable Soft toilet seat also has whisper-close and slow-close systems. These let you shut the lid with a soft nudge without wearing the hinges out. But if the hinges ever get weird, you can always order replacement hinges.

Now, what could they have done better? Perhaps make the seat less expensive? Or use a more durable vinyl material. Although the latter might be more a user’s fault than the manufacturer’s. However, they really should look into making the Mayfair 15EC 000 compatible with bidet attachments.

The Bath Royale Deluxe toilet seat, otherwise called the BR606-00, is a modern-styled toilet attachment that has been made available in round and elongated styles for wider coverage. It weighs about 3.6 pounds and is suitable for hinge holes between 4.5 and 6.5 inches. 

This toilet seat is made from the durable polypropylene material and is coated with a high gloss finish to protect against moisture, stains, scratches, and fading. Its polypropylene material also has high thermal insulation, keeping the seat warm even in cold temperatures. You can also choose to buy additional padding to level up its comfort.

Though the Bath Royale Deluxe toilet seat does not use the STA-TITE fastening system, it is still pretty easy to install. The seat is packaged with the necessary mounting hardware, and it is fitted with stainless hinges that keep it from wiggling around once properly installed. 

The Bath Royale Deluxe toilet seat also features a slow-close system and a quick-release mechanism, which makes it easy to detach and is schedule-friendly. Can’t wait 15 seconds? Gently push the lid down. The hinges wouldn’t break. 

This Bath Royale toilet seat can conveniently support up to 400 pounds because of its stainless steel hardware and the four-grip tight bumpers. It is available in a few colors, which do not fade or wash over time, as long as you use the right cleaning agents. 

Although the Bath Royale Deluxe toilet seat is said to withstand bleach, it must be diluted, properly rinsed off, and then dried out to avoid skin irritation. We’ll draw the curtains on its perks here. 

We noticed only one flaw with this Bath Royale Deluxe toilet seat. It is incompatible with most toilet attachments like grab bars, portable bidets, and rinsers. 

If your Bath Royale Deluxe lid doesn’t stay up, you should ensure the wingnuts are properly tightened, and the seat is correctly aligned with the bowl. You should also check the tank lid to ensure it sits perfectly and is not protruding.

The Kohler White Plastic toilet seat is a beautifully-styled attachment available in round and elongated styles, both of which are contoured for premium seating comfort. It is also available in 5 different hues and rated to hold up to 300 pounds, but still, it does not flop in efficiency, and you’d find out how soon.

This Kohler toilet seat is made from solid polypropylene material and coated with a high-gloss finish to protect it against moisture, stains, scratches, and fading. This gloss also makes it really easy to clean. And like the Bath Royale Deluxe toilet seat, its polypropylene material helps the seat stay warm on cold days. 

The Kohler White Plastic toilet seat features four grip-tight bumpers that distribute the seater’s weight evenly and keeps the seat from sliding around when in use.It also has quiet-close and quick-release systems that let you shut the lid at whatever rate without damaging the hinges.Its quick-release mechanism also makes it easy to detach the seat when needed.

Although the Kohler White Plastic toilet seat does not use the STA-TITE system, it is packaged with all the necessary hardware and fitted with quick attach systems that makes installation pretty straightforward. Its hinges are also plastic and are thus corrosion-resistant.

The Kohler White Plastic toilet seat is generally great, but there are some areas they should probably work on. 

First is the slow close system that does not close as slowly as other types. Then, the plastic bolts and wingnuts that tend to wear out very easily if you do not “thread” with caution.

Like the Bath Royale Deluxe toilet seat, if you have any trouble keeping the lid up, check the wingnuts, the seat alignment, and the tank placement. Take a look at our toilet seat install guide.

Heads up – if you enjoy customizing bathrooms and making selections, you are entering a world of irresistible choices. The Bemis 1500EC toilet seat offers the following options: 

• Over five different color shades.
• Elongated and round designs.
• Single-piece and packs of twos.
• A luxe bidet that can be ordered alongside.

The Bemis 1500EC toilet seat is made from solidly molded wood glossed over with a water-resistant enamel paint that protects it against scratches, streaks, and stains and makes it easy to clean. 

This Bemis toilet seat weighs only 7 pounds and integrates a snap-on technology and precision fit system that makes it easy to install and ensures the seat stays in place. This technology also makes it easy to detach, as well. 

The Bemis 1500EC toilet seat is fitted with plastic hinges and comes with the necessary mounting hardware, including non-corrosive bolts and wing nuts. It also features a whisper-quiet technology and a slow-close system that lets you quietly shut the lid without stressing the hinges. 

This Bemis toilet seat is also low-maintenance, but it can withstand light bleach and diluted disinfectants, unlike the others. Still, you should use mostly warm water, mild soap, and disinfecting wipes. 

The Bemis 1500EC toilet seat is almost perfect. However, some customers complain that its lighter colors stain easily.

The American Standard Champion toilet seat is an elongated-style, round-shaped attachment with a versatile design and a bolt distance of 5.5 inches. As a result, it is highly compatible with most modern elongated toilet bowls.

This toilet seat is made from duroplast, a material similar to china. It is therefore pretty heavy and can support up to 200 pounds. The American Standard Champion toilet seat also does not wiggle around due to its heavy material. It is available in 3 different colors and warms to the touch.

This American Standard seat is fitted with lift-off hinges that make it easy to install and remove. Setting it up is quite straightforward because it comes with the necessary bottom-mounting hardware (including plastic screws). 

The American Standard Champion toilet seat features a slow-close technology that ensures proper use of the seat and saves you the rowdy noise of the lid slamming, but it does not have a quick-release mechanism.

According to customers, the American Standard Champion toilet seat is a great piece; however, the hinges are not built to last. 

Our opinion? We believe this might be due to users pushing on the lid and forgetting it does not have the quick-release system. The sad part is once the hinges are damaged, you’d have to change the entire seat.

Some customers have also complained about the plastic screws not staying in. In their words, “after a few days, it pops out.”

The Genie White Plastic toilet seat is a non-electric bidet seat available in round and elongated forms. Its bidet technology consists of an adjustable spray with two retractable nozzles: one for rear wash and the other for feminine or front wash. 

These nozzles are controlled through a lever on one side of the seat. This lever also regulates the water pressure. The Genie White Plastic toilet seat has a button on its other side, which makes it easy to dismantle the seat.

Though the Genie White Plastic toilet seat has pretty high-tech features, it is really to install. Some customers have reported setting it up in less than 15 minutes. It also comes with a properly-detailed instruction manual that helps you figure out what goes where. 

For extra help, you can always contact their customer service representatives. According to customers, they are nice, professional, and helpful.

The Genie White Plastic toilet seat features a slow-close technology for its proper use and a safety-off button that allows you to turn off the water supply. 

Unlike most bidet seats, the Genie White Plastic toilet seat comes with a hybrid metal T-connector and a built-in washer to connect the bidet to your toilet water supply, further simplifying the installation process. 

The Genie White Plastic toilet seat is certainly an attachment to experience; however, it has its limitations: 

Because it is a non-electric system, its spray delivers whatever temperature your water system supplies. Its water line is also made from rubber which is not so durable. The Genie White Plastic toilet seat also lacks a drying function. And finally, because the mounting plate lacks the needed serrations, the seat shifts over time.

Fortunately, some customers have found a way around the mounting plate flaw. With some double sticky tape and a good screwdriver, you can keep the seat in place.

The Bemis Grey seat is an elongated-style, oval-shaped attachment designed to fit a broad range of standard elongated toilet bowls conveniently. 

The Bemis Grey Lift-Off toilet seat is made from resilient plastic and overlaid with a high-gloss coating that makes it durable, resistant to scratch, stains, and streaks, and easy to clean. Its color also doesn’t fade easily because it is molded in during manufacture. 

This Bemis toilet seat can comfortably support up to 275 pounds and more. It features the STA-TITE seat fastening system and is packaged with the necessary mounting hardware to make its installation straightforward. It is also fitted with four grip-tight bumpers that keep the seat from wiggling around. 

The Bemis Grey Lift-Off toilet seat is another low-maintenance attachment. It is easy to detach and requires only warm water, mild soap, and a clean towel to give it a proper clean.

While we couldn’t find a flaw with its design, we have a bone to pick with its color. The Bemis GREY comes in a single grey shade. So if your bowl has a different shade, you’d need to engage your inner artist. 

Some customers also claim the seat is not as durable as expected. And finally, the Bemis Grey Lift-Off toilet seat would not fit a bidet.
