TLDR Review: HealthSmart Raised Toilet Seat Riser

The HealthSmart Enhanced Comfort 5" Raised Toilet Seat Riser is designed to add comfort and convenience, especially for those who need a bit more height. But keep in mind, this specific riser is only for standard round toilets, not elongated ones. The manufacturer describes its dimensions as 15.7"L x 15.2"W x 6.1"H with a 10.25" x 8" opening, making it fit well on most round toilets and not so much on elongated designs.

From our research, several people have tried using it on elongated toilets but found it doesn’t fit properly and can be unstable. One person mentioned that it slid backward when they tried to sit on it, even though it initially seemed to fit. So, it's really important to stick to the manufacturer's guidelines to avoid any issues.

As for comfort, many folks with round toilets say it definitely makes their bathroom experience more comfortable. The added height helps reduce strain on the knees and hips, making sitting and standing easier. Plus, it's apparently easy to clean and quite durable, which is always a plus.

If you have an elongated toilet, though, you'll need to look for a different riser.

HealthSmart does offer other models, or you might need to check out options from other brands that are made specifically for elongated toilets. Picking the right one is key for both comfort and safety.

The HealthSmart Enhanced Comfort 5-inch Raised (Round) Toilet Seat Riser is designed to add an extra 5 inches to your current toilet seat. This can really help if you're recovering from surgery or have mobility issues, making it easier to sit down and stand up.

According to the manufacturer's product description, this riser measures 15.7 inches in length, 15.2 inches in width, and 6.1 inches in height. The opening is about 10.25 by 8 inches, which should fit most standard round toilet bowls. However, it's not suitable for elongated bowls.

Our research has shown it generally fits well on standard round toilet seats and does provide the promised height boost. But, it's worth mentioning that not everyone had a perfect fit.

To be on the safe side, double-check your toilet's specifications before buying. If you've got an elongated bowl, you'd need a different riser specifically made for that shape.

This way, you'll ensure a secure and comfortable fit.
