How to Choose a Toilet Seat
Choosing the right toilet seat is more than a simple replacement—it’s a key upgrade to your bathroom's comfort, hygiene, and aesthetics. Here’s a detailed step-by-step guide to help you select the perfect seat for your home.
Step 1: Measure Your Toilet to Find the Right Seat Size
Not all toilet seats are interchangeable—your choice depends on your toilet bowl’s shape. Elongated bowls require elongated seats, while round-front bowls pair with round seats.To be sure, measure the distance from the hinge bolts (mounting holes) at the back of your toilet bowl to the front edge of the bowl.
- Round Bowl ➝ About 16½ inches (42 cm)
- Elongated Bowl ➝ About 18½ inches (47 cm)
Tip: Always measure before purchasing to ensure your new toilet seat fits snugly and securely. An incorrect size can result in poor alignment or discomfort.
Round Toilet Seat
Toilet seats measuring 16½" or more are designed for round-front toilets.
Elongated Toilet Seat
Elongated seat measures 18½" or more, fitting all Elongated toilt bowls in both residential and commercial settings.
