A Soft Close Toilet Seat adds a nice finishing touch to your bathroom
There are many designs to choose from and most manufacturers are now producing the slow closing toilet seats to fit most makes and designs, they are made to fit one or two piece toilets.
The soft closing hinges not only eliminates the seat from slamming down but most models have a quick release mechanism to make cleaning easy and hygienic.
Just give the lid a gentle push and it will slowly and quietly lower itself until closed,This also acts as a great safety feature especially if you have children in your home, no need to worry about their fingers getting a nasty knock, the seat will always be closed as its easy and fun to do,

Don’t worry if you need to match to an existing suit as there are many colours, textures and materials available, the white model pictured is made of polypropylene which is stain resistant and lightweight without losing any strength.
One thing to remember when ordering your new toilet seat is to make sure you have the correct type to fit your toilet as in most cases returning the item can be difficult because of hygiene, so look around and make sure before you buy, but do not fear as below I am including reviews and customer feedback.
Toto White polypropylene
this is the smart elongated seat from Toto, made from tough impact proof material and also resistant to cleaning products, I found two customers who had purchased this model and both were happy, one gave it five stars out of five but the other only a three as he did not like the steep angle of the rim although fitting was a plus with the bolts being top mounted and so eliminating the need to lay on the floor to tighten them.
Kohler Brevier
This is the black version but it can be supplied in a range of colours, if you have a kohler two piece elongated toilet then this is the one for you, its great value at under $30, the colour is solid throughout so will not wear over time, weighing in at 5.8lb it is just about everything proof, cracks, chips, will not peel or even stain, this model may fit other manufacturers products but as I mentioned earlier check first,
Kohler transitions
now this one is a little more expensive but it has two seats, one is a smaller for children and so this eliminates the need to put a separate version for a child,also has the quick release design for ease of cleaning, I found one review for this model and it received five out of five, it was purchased for helping with a child’s potty training and worked very well, the ease of cleaning was also mentioned in the feedback.
Of course there are many different styles and finishes to choose from if you are just looking to upgrade your seat and not opt for a comlete re-fit, oak, wood or wooden effect are a popular choice and black becoming a popular search,
all models should come with detailed fitting instructions.
I have listed a few of the many soft close toilet seats available and I will be adding more in the coming days, so please feel free to re-visit,
As you can see from the video the fitting and cleaning are relatively simple providing you purchase the correct seat for your toilet and follow the manufacturers instructions when fitting.
Although the bathroom is commonly one of the smallest rooms in your home it is can be a very expensive project if you are replacing the whole suite, the bath, toilet & sink can be a big outlay then there are tiles and flooring to think about,
On top of that a great deal of the work will need to be completed by contractors unless you are skilled in plumbing or know someone that is,
Most companies that supply and install complete bathrooms will have free planning advice and will sit down and plan your new bathroom with you, shop around for the best deal and quality of product as with the outlay you will want your suite to last for years.
Great invention. I wouldnt see myself writing on a blog about toilet seats but have been searching for something like this as my kids are always slamming down the seats and either cracking them or shutting their fingers in the toilet seat!
Nice article about ultimate toilet comfort and style.
This type of toilet seat is really the way to go, you don’t need to bend over and let it down, just give it a bump. We got one about six months ago, I was a little concerned that the closer might wear out, but it has held up very well.
Those are great looking toilet seats. Thanks for the review.
I think I need to get a soft close toilet seat. The kids are always slamming down the seat and then it will snap and I keep having to buy new ones. At least they put the seat down I suppose.
My mom has severe back problems and she has a dog that seems to think the toilet is bowl, so we purchased a slow closing toilet seat for her.
It has made her life a lot easier.
I haven’t come across one of these yet, but I know that manufacturers like Bemis make them, obviously. So do I understand right from your description above that they have an ‘easy release’ mechanism that actually lets you take the seat off for cleaning?
Nice product! I don’t know HOW many times I’ve tried to be absolutely quite in the bathroom so as not to wake up the wife…only to accidentally slam the seat down and suddenly have the dog howling, the cat screeching, and, obviously, the wife not too happy either!
I absolutely Love our soft closing seat! It makes me feel like I’m in the 21st Century at Last!
I took the seats off of our toilets fearing our young kids might get hurt by the falling lid. When I found the slow close lid…problem solved! Thanks!
never thought I would read nor comment on a toilet seat blog but that is pretty cool and makes sense. Good job on the article!
I enjoyed reading this post about Soft close toilet seat, view & buy slow close toilet seats online. Really interesting. I will come back to visit this blog again.
I have been looking for blogs about toilet seats on the web until I found this one. I must say that this is very informative and I can’t help myself saying that I am really impressed with this one. Keep posting and I’ll be looking forward for more relevant topics from you.
This is a great idea, dont you just hate it when you are just about to fall asleep and someone slams the toilet seat down I will be getting one of these
A Soft Toilet Seat seems quite nice, where I live the norm is hard covers.Many people like to design their own toilet seats so this could be a good idea.
You have a great review about soft toilet seats. It really looks safer than those hard ones especially for children.
Wow, thanks for the ideas in different style toilets. Its nice
