Bathroom Ideas

It’s no secret that we spend a long time on the toilet (92 days, on average, to be exact). To make sure these 92 days are spent well, we’re discussing the top 10 comfy toilet seats for 2024!

As we’ve discovered, 92 days of our lives are spent on the toilet and that’s excluding those who take their phones with them (we’ve all been guilty at least once). Your bathroom should be a space for peace, tranquillity, and most importantly, comfort. But comfortability means more than a bare, basic and plain toilet seat. Finding comfort in an environment that isn’t clean, safe and cosy is difficult, to say the least. Therefore, we’ll be going through a list of the top 10 comfy toilet seats for 2024 so that you can rest peacefully knowing that those 92 days will be the comfiest days of your life!

1) Alaska Square Soft Close Toilet Seat

In no particular order, but first on our list is the Alaska Soft Close Toilet Seat. The leading comfort factor for this toilet is its material. The Alaska Toilet Seat is made from a smooth and non-porous surface, which prevents liquids from penetrating the material. This means that germs and bacteria cannot burrow within the seat and can be wiped off quickly and easily. Undoubtedly, having a fresh, clean toilet seat makes spending time in the bathroom a more comfortable experience.

 

2) Bemis Toilet Seat with Chrome Hinges

Secondly, we have the Bemis Toilet Seat in white. This toilet seat owes its comfortability to its durable and long-lasting material, urea thermoset. The chemical breakdown, which consists of a process called cross-linking (where the molecular chains become linked irrevocably) means that the material is naturally a lot stronger and impenetrable. Meaning that any wear-induced scratches or bumps that would be irritating to sit on, are non-existent, making you more comfortable for longer!

 

3) Aqualona Duroplast Soft Close Toilet Seat

With this next toilet seat, we’re keeping to a similar theme as the option above. Like the Bemis Toilet Seat, this seat is made from a durable, long-lasting material that creates a more relaxing, comfortable experience for the consumer. With its impeccable ability to withstand scratches and scrapes, Duroplast material has a similar structure to thermoset, where the chemical matter contains crosslinking. Again, like a thermoset, this means that the material is durable, causing less damage to the toilet seat in the long run, and increasing comfortability.

 

4) Wirquin Flamenco Lock+ Toilet Seat

When you’re using the toilet, the last thing you want in the back of your mind is the possibility of flying off courtesy of a loose seat. Putting your trust in your toilet seat hinges shouldn’t be a complicated affair. The Wirquin Flamenco Seat features an efficient fixing system whereby the screws are stuck in place and unable to move or slide around. What screams comfort more than the security of knowing that your toilet seat won’t launch you across your bathroom? 

 

5) Alaska Traditional Toilet Seat

When you own furniture that is easy to clean, immediately your stress levels will decrease and you can relax knowing that your space is clean and fresh. The Alaska Traditional Toilet Seat is the perfect option if you’re opting for a comfortable yet modern and classic design. Plastic is a great material if you need a low-maintenance and affordable option for your toilet seat. When it comes to relaxing in the bathroom, if it's clean, you're comfortable!

 

6) Euroshowers Mahogany Toilet Seat

Spending time in your bathroom to fully relax is normal, we all do it! Sometimes, our toilets can take this relaxation away through poor design that makes sitting on them uncomfortable. Have you ever had to sit on a toilet where the edges of the lid curve inwards, so when you lean back it digs into your skin? This mahogany toilet seat is thick and flat, meaning that it doesn’t curve in and irritate the user. Not only does this make the seat more comfortable but also looks more elegant and better quality.

 

7) Ideal Standard Toilet Seat for Elongated Pan

If you are someone who’d argue that it would be better if their toilet seat was a bit bigger or longer, the Ideal Standard Toilet Seat Elongated Pan may be your best option. Adjusting where you sit on a regular rounded toilet seat can occasionally be irritating. With an elongated toilet seat, you have a larger target eliminating the chances of missing the seat as you squat! The ample space that the elongated toilet seat provides creates a more comfortable experience overall. However, remember that to have an elongated pan, your toilet also needs to be elongated, so keep this in mind before you purchase the seat alone.

 

8) Toreno Oak Effect Toilet Seat

Shivering on a cold toilet seat doesn’t exactly scream comfort. There are various toilet seat materials that retain heat better than plastic, and one of them is wood, particularly hardwood, like oak. We all dread using our cold plastic toilet seats during winter, so why not switch to a material that doesn’t send shivers down your spine (literally)? This toilet seat also includes non-slip buffers that’ll ensure you won’t go flying off your seat due to some unstable hinges.

 

9) RAK Soft Close Toilet Seat

It makes sense that practicality is comfort; if lingering at the back of your mind, you’re stressing over the loud sound your seat makes when it shuts, are you truly ever comfortable? This soft close toilet seat ensures that when you’re finished using your toilet, you aren’t shocked with a ground-splitting slam. This is a good product particularly if you use the toilet during the night, when you’re trying to be quiet, as you don’t need to worry about waking anyone up. Being comfortable means being relaxed, and without the worry of any unwanted loud noises, you can truly be comfortable.

 

10) Smart Bidet Toilet Seat

Ending this list of the top 10 comfy toilet seats for 2024 on a high note, we have the smart bidet toilet seat. This multifaceted toilet comes with the ability to alter the temperature of the seat, water, air, and the position of the nozzle. The bidet toilet makes using your toilet a hygienic experience, without worrying about your toilet paper consumption. It even includes an automatic deodorization function that keeps your bathroom smelling clean and fresh. Could using the toilet be any more relaxing and comfortable than that?

 

So, that brings us to the end of our top 10 comfy toilet seats for 2024 list, and it is safe to say that we’re all pooped out. When choosing a new toilet seat, keep in mind that they come in all shapes and sizes, and make sure you purchase one that will fit your toilet. Remember, each person's idea of comfort is interchangeable based on their personal preferences, so take some time to think about what you value as ‘comfortable’. Is the way to your heart a warm or a wide toilet seat? Perhaps you relax best when you’re certain your space is sterile. No matter how you choose to spend those 92 days of your life sat on a toilet, we believe that you should treat yourself with a bit of comfort!
