Understanding the toilet seat
More useful than it looks
The toilet seat, also called a lavatory seat or toilet lid, is easy to overlook. It matters for comfort, for hygiene and for how your bathroom looks. This guide covers the practical features and the design choices.
What a toilet seat is
The toilet seat is the surface you sit on when you use the toilet. It is a contoured seat hinged to the toilet bowl, usually with a lid you can raise or lower. Seats come in plastic, wood and composite materials, and each one wears, feels and looks a little different.
What a good lavatory seat gives you
Comfort: a well-shaped seat is comfortable to sit on, even for longer periods.
Hygiene: smooth, sealed surfaces wipe clean easily, which helps keep the bathroom clean.
Durability: seats made from hard-wearing materials last well, even with frequent use.
Style: seats come in different colours, shapes and finishes, so you can match the rest of your bathroom.
Toilet lids
Covering the bowl: closing the lid keeps the bowl out of sight when it is not in use, so the bathroom looks neat and tidy.
Odour: closing the lid after use helps keep odours in.
Children and pets: in homes with small children or pets, a closed lid keeps the bowl covered when no one is using it.
In short
A good toilet seat adds comfort, hygiene and style to your bathroom. Whether you call it a lavatory seat or a toilet lid, choose one that suits your needs and your toilet. If you need extra height, compare our raised toilet seats.
