With the toilet a staple feature of our bathrooms, there are various things to consider when it comes to choosing the right one for your home. Like everything else in your bathroom, it’s all about choosing what works best for you, based on personal and aesthetic preferences. A key component of this is obviously the toilet seat, which you can also customise depending on personal preference.
Choosing the perfect toilet seat for your home means considering various factors, such as comfort, durability, style and functionality. To help you decide which is the best option, read to the end of the blog for our top tips ...
There are various things to consider when choosing the toilet seat for your bathroom.
Seat size and shape: Always measure your toilet bowl to ensure that you choose a seat which fits properly. Toilets come in a choice of both round and more elongated shapes, so make sure to select the one whichbest matches your toilet.
Material: Toilet seats are commonly made of materials like plastic, wood, or moulded wood, with each one bringing its own benefits. For example, plastic seats are durable, easy to clean, and stain-resistant, while wooden toilet seats feel warmer to the touch and are available in a variety of finishes.
Hinges and fastenings: Look for seats with durable hinges and fastenings. Some toilet seats come with soft-close hinges which prevent slamming, reducing wear and tear as well as damage to the toilet seat. They also protect against trapped fingers, which is particularly useful if you have children using the toilet and also ensure peace and quiet.
Maintenance: For an easy life – and better hygiene – choose a toilet seat which is easy to clean. Smooth surfaces and materials which are resistant to stains, scratches and odours are all things to consider in this regard.
Toilet seats made of robust plastic are practical and easy to clean.
Comfort: Consider features such as extra padding, ergonomic design or contoured shapes for added comfort during use.
Colour and style: If you want your bathroom to have a more cohesive aesthetic then matching the colour and style of your toilet seat with the rest of the bathroom décor will keep everything consistent. As toilet seats come in a range of colours and finishes, you can choose one which complements your overall look, while you can also choose a contrasting design/tone if you prefer more of a statement style.

Special features: Some toilet seats come with additional features, such as built-in bidet functions, night-lights or heated seats, so if you want something exra in your toilet seat, then have a look around to see what's out there before making your choice.

Budget: As with everything, always consider your budget before making a purchase, as what you can afford will influence what you end up buying. Decide your budget early on and then stick to this, bearing in mind that if you want to invest in a higher-quality toilet seat, then it will likely be more expensive but will ultimately provide greater durability and comfort over time.
