Comfortable and durable

I bought an oblong toilet with a thin plastic toilet seat that was uncomfortable so I chose a seat that is not for sale. used to work in the plumbing department at Home Depot and noticed a customer was buying the Bemis brand because they said it was good quality. / 2 " to 17-1 / 2". The bottom of the seat that rests on the toilet is flat with only 2 pillows to rest on, 4 would be better. The Phillips head screw/bolts snap into the toilet's holes with the nut underneath, once tightened, lowerโ€ฆ

Pros
  • HARDWARE: Rustproof screws and wing nuts
Cons
  • High price

Less than two years later and it's disgustingly dirty

I'm not posting a photo because we all know what a dirty toilet seat looks like, right? Our previous seat (probably also a Bemis as it was original for a new toilet at the time) lasted 12 years before I had to replace it. Based on the positive reviews for this seat, I bought it in December 2018. This seat is in our master bathroom in a family of two adults. It is used several times a day. The fairing comes off if you use something more industrial like Comet to clean it. But, you say, then whyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • QUICK AND EASY TO REMOVE: To clean or replace
Cons
  • Expensive

Reminds me of a surfboard!

I was more excited than I should have been to get this seat as I thought it would be a huge improvement over the cheap plastic I've had for the last few years . I've been waiting at the door all day for Revane to bring it. I put it on in under 5 minutes (VERY EASY to install!) and it wobbled a lot and was surprisingly strong. My son wanted to be the first to "try". As soon as he sat down, the seat just below him flew out to the side! I don't understand how, despite its light weight, it stood up

Pros
  • HINGES: Plastic twist to unlock and lock
Cons
  • Little things

If you have a throne, it must have a good seat :)

All my life I've had to change toilet seats and/or mess with their hinges every few years. The problem is that the toilet is porcelain which means you can't tighten the crappy plastic screws that keep the toilet seat from sliding when you sit on it. This means that the toilet seat has a tendency to slip over time (causing cheap plastic screws to break) even if you use rubber compression washers. Add to that the fact that plastic screws often loosen and need to be tightened, and are generallyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • RING RODS: two bumpers in the same color
Cons
  • Slightly torn
