The best seat in the house isn’t necessarily in front of the flat screen anymore. In fact, today’s range of options in high-quality toilet seats is next level convenience, comfort and luxury.
“When it comes to choosing a toilet seat upgrade, the slow-close seat has increased in popularity,” says Michelle Braden, marketing and communications manager for Splashes Bath & Kitchen.“Everyone can relate to the unpleasant experience when the seat slams down, startles you, or wakes someone in the middle of the night.” The BEMIS Elongated Toilet Seat with its Whisper-Close hinge slows the descent of the seat and lid, eliminating loud slams and pinched fingers. Also notable, the Super Grip Bumpers prevent the seat from shifting for greater stability.
As far as revolutionizing the way your toddlers learn to use the toilet, young families take heed. The Bemis NextStep potty training seat isa game-changer. Seriously. Nothing but positive feedback admits Braden. “Younger families tell us it’s genius; customers are floored when they see this option. Most parents use the mini toilets or the soft potty ring that sits on the toilet, but those options can be bulky, messy and sometimes slip and slide,” she says.
The built-in potty seat secures magnetically into the cover when not occupied, eliminating clutter, while the adult seat remains in use. Easy-Clean hinge allows for quick seat removal for effortless cleaning. Practical and safe, this seat gives your toddler confidence, and you, peace of mind. “If your child gets up late at night, you want to know there is a secure option that they can pull down and easily use,” adds Braden.
Go with the flow
“Bidet seats are very common in Asia, Europe and even the Middle East,” says Braden, adding that “over the past five years, they have become very popular in Canada.”
When you purchase a Toto Washlet, an electronic bidet seat,not only can you reach unparalleled personal hands-free hygiene, but you’ll help preserve the environment, too. Think less water use and eliminating toilet paper, especially convenient during the first wave of COVID, when there wasn’t a square to spare.
“We’re definitely seeing many customers that are in tune with protecting the planet,” says Braden. “They’re making more tech savvy and environmentally friendly decisions in their home choices, for example, leaning towards choosing a bidet seat that eliminates the need for toilet paper.”
Available in a range of price points, the bidet seat provides a practical and affordable option to installing a bidet. Toto, the Cadillac of washlets, offers a newmodel, the Washlet C2, an integrated cleaning wand with sophisticated features such as oscillating and pulsating dual action spray, and warm air drying with temperature settings. Remote control panel, heated and slow-close seat, auto air deodorizer, and PREMIST, which cleans the bowl prior to use.
The Duravit SensoWash Seat meets every requirement for high operating comfort with Rear-, Lady-, and Comfortwash settings and individual adjustment for water, air and seat temperature. Slow-close seat has quick release for easy cleaning, and a power actuated lid and seat function prevents “you left the seat up”tiffs.
One of the best options for renters (if you don’t have authority to make changes) is the American Standard Manual AquaWash SpaLet. A non-electrical bidet with a slow close and telescoping elongated seat, dual nozzles for front and back self-cleansing with adjustable spray patterns. Accessible top mount fitting makes for easier installation.
Splashes offers a myriad of bathroom fixture seat solutions to appeal to your individual needs. Braden encourages you to try a bidet toilet seat, if you’ve yet to experience the bliss; some of their showroom public bathrooms provide a great opportunity to test out the waters.
