The Heated Toilet Seat

Tired of having to sit on a cold toilet seat first thing in the morning or in the middle of the night? Nothing more surprising or uncomfortable than that. There is a quick and easy solution for this discomfort. Get yourself a heated toilet seat!

What is a heated toilet seat and how do they work?

Very simply a heated toilet seat is a seat that is heated by plugging it into a bathroom receptacle. You can get a heated seat to install on your current toilet. Remove your old seat and install warm comfort in under 15 minutes!

Heated toilet seats come with many options. Depending on your price range you can get a seat that simply warms up. Other options are as follows. Most will come with an anti-bacterial surface. This is a nice option but not necessary. A good cleaning will keep your new seat nice and clean and sanitary. A soft close seat is a great option. This is a toilet seat that will close with a gentle push of the seat and lid. It automatically will close the seat quietly. No more toilet seat slamming in the middle of the night. Still others will come with deodorizers and fragrance vents. There is also a power save setting on some seats. As you can see there are plenty of options with this style seat.

Speaking of style, you can find a seat in many styles, shapes and colors to fit into your bathrooms color scheme. You may be able to find a heated soft close toilet seat!

A heated toilet seat can easily replace your existing toilet seat. No special tools or equipment is needed to install one. There is also no need for you to hire someone to install it. Anyone with a screwdriver and maybe a wrench can replace their seat in under 15 minutes.

Cleaning is a snap with a heated seat. No need for any special cleaners to keep them clean. In fact, some models are now made where you can snap off the seat to clean it. They have an easy on, easy off connection that will allow you to reach those hard to clean areas. This make your toilet much more sanitary and clean.

The heated toilet seat is heated by means of plugging the seat into a GCFI wall receptacle. It is probably code in your area to have GCFI installed in your bathroom. If you don’t already have this type of receptacle, even if you don’t buy a heated toilet seat, it would be wise to have them installed for safety in the bathroom.

You simply plug your seat in and depending once again on the model, you may be able to set the temp. Generally the seats will warm up to 90 to 95 degrees with some going up to 104 degrees. Remember, our body temp is around 98 degrees so it should feel nice and warm when sitting on it.

If you’re not sure about purchasing this type of toilet seat, do some further research and read the reviews. Some that I have found talk about how pleasant it is to wake up and use one. One review gives the tip of keeping the lid down so it retains its heat better.

 With most people turning down the heat at night to save energy, a heated toilet seat is a welcome “treat” in the morning. Go find one now and enjoy the comfort of a heated toilet seat.
