Toilet Height Accessibility Checklist

Use this checklist to help you choose the right toilet height and add-ons for better comfort, safety, and control. Whether you're replacing a toilet or making simple upgrades, these options support smoother transfers and more independence.

Toilet Height Options

  • Standard Toilet (approx. 15 inches): Works for most able-bodied users but often too low for wheelchair transfers.

  • Comfort Height / ADA Toilet (17 to 19 inches): Ideal for wheelchair users, taller individuals, and people with limited mobility.

  • Raised Toilet Seat Add-On (Adds 2 to 6 inches): Great for renters, temporary needs, or budget-friendly upgrades.

Safety Tools & Add-Ons

  • Raised Toilet Seat: Increases height without replacing your current toilet.

  • Toilet Safety Frame: Provides sturdy arms to assist with sitting and standing.

  • Bidet Attachment: Reduces need for twisting and improves hygiene access.

  • Thick or Padded Toilet Seat: Adds slight height and comfort.

  • Grab Bars: Install beside or behind the toilet to improve transfer stability.

Final Tips

  • Measure from the floor to the top of the seat to confirm height.

  • Check for 'ADA Compliant' or 'Chair Height' labels, but verify actual dimensions.

  • Prioritize solid, non-wobbly installations for all hardware and accessories.
