Accessible bathrooms
Comfort height and raised toilets
What makes it usable
Point 1
Match the seat height to the user's knee height so feet rest flat, dangling feet make standing harder, not easier.
Point 2
Wall-hung pans can be set at a chosen height at first fix, which is more elegant than adding a raiser later.

They are useful as a temporary or trial measure and help confirm the right height before permanent work.
Do raised toilets suit everyone in the house?
Not always, in a shared family bathroom the compromise needs discussing.
