Padded Toilet seat raiser

[Poppy]

I just ordered one of these because the toilet is the only place i can sit without pain. It's about 4 inches high and the same size as a regular toilet seat. Don't know if it will work. has anyone tried one? http://www.welcomemobility.co.uk/Produc ... 646_p.aspx

Thanks Poppy for the link to this great site.
Many PNE'ers would prefer to sit on a toilet seat than anywhere else...its not very sociable though to have one in the living Room!
I like many others am far more comfy sitting on a toilet seat....Ive written many emails while sitting on the loo...not going at the same time I must add!!!!

It doesn't actually look like a toilet seat. It's PVC covered foam but unfortunately I found it too soft. It squashed down to nothing

I'm sorry it squashed down on you Poppy...
I don't know if this is helpful, but I the solution we came up with was a regular padded toilet seat that goes on top of a riser.
The riser doesn't have handles or anything on it... It screws down tight on the bottom half of the toilet and then the padded top seat fits right on top. It was an inexpensive riser - I think we got it at a medical supply store... I could try to send you a photo if you really want to see what I mean!

I know what you mean. I don't need the riser. I wanted the padded seat (U shaped) to see if it would allow me to sit on my scooter or in my wheelchair

Poppy,

I use a donut cushion (cut out a little more) that is duck taped onto a plastic toilet seat. It's not perfect, but it's the only thing that always me to sit even a few minutes right now. Good luck!
