Padded Toilet Seat, Cushioned Soft Vinyl over Wood Core Seat, Secure Hinges, Easy Clean, Made in USA, Elongated, Bone

I ended up buying this again. As much as I like a quiet close seat, it was too hard on my bidet attachment and ended up cracking it on one side. I liked this toilet seat anyway, so it came off my wish list and now I have one again! On Dec. 4, 2022: Somebody complimented my toilet seat a month ago, and it seemed like that was the jinx. A few days later, I had a small rip in it. I tried Gorilla Glue to fix it because I really liked this seat, but that didn't work. Since then, I've ordered and returned four toilet seats because I hated all of them. And unlike this one, none would firmly stay in place with a non-electric bidet attachment on it. The hinges on this one make it permanently stay in one spot. I couldn't remember where I bought this and ended up with a hard, black seat. Although I like my new one because of the quiet-close feature, I'm adding this one to my Wish List again because 1.5 years later, I had zero complaints. If the rip hadn't shown up, I'd still have this. July 31, 2021: I had a wooden black seat for the longest time, but it was the hard kind that would loudly slap when I closed it. It also had a chip in it that showed a white spot on an all-black toilet seat. I tend to shy away from soft seats because they move all over the place and are annoying. But so far, so good. This one has held up and remained in place in the few weeks I've had it. I wasn't quite sold on whether it would or not, but I understand why I needed a wrench after installing it.

This toilet seat is comfy, but it does not secure well in the back. After many times re-tightening it and it coming back loose, I gave up and it just wiggles around. About a year later, after having one certain guest (he is not heavy but perhaps sloppy?), the seat started ripping a little, and the rip just got bigger and bigger. I now have another rip in the front, and another on the other side. I'm at 2.5 years now. It did the job for the price but I won't be buying this again.

I bought this as a replacement when my 3rd Kohler bidet quit working. It was very expensive, and I was tired of trying repairs, which was also expensive. So I wanted a seat that didn't feel like sitting on ice cubes, especially in the middle of the night. This seat solved that. However, beware, since I had mine, the inside split. I fixed it with white tape, but am not happy about it. So I gave it a 4. Also, be sure you know if your seat is round or oval. I bought one for my sister, assuming hers was like mine. It wasn't and I had to return it.

Just what I was looking for to top my upstairs bathroom toilet - soft and cushioned just enough, so you don't have a hard, cold seat to perch on in the middle of the night! Easy to install, nice, snug fit. Will buy again as needed. Good price, I have seen them higher priced in hardware stores.

easy to install...comfortable to use. Impossible to find in a brick & mortar store Very glad to have found it here

This Mayfair product is made by Bemis and features their nifty hinge connections, which are easy to install and allow quick release of the seat for cleaning; and because the hinges and connection parts are plastic, they won't corrode like metal. Also, I like that Bemis is a U.S. company, and they'll send you replacement parts (e.g., bumpers/spacers) free. HOWEVER, that's where my positive comments end for the Bemis Mayfair comfort seat. In the last five years, I've purchased this product three times (twice on Amazon) for one toilet, though two seats were model 13EC and the other was 15EC. ALL THREE times, I noticed upon opening the box that the vinyl covering the foam had distinct creases/wrinkles. These made the seat a tad uncomfortable and, as I suspected, created weak spots. Even though my toilet gets only moderate, gentle use, on ALL THREE seats, at least one of those wrinkles opened up into a tear (quickly making the seat quite uncomfortable and impossible to clean) after one year but less than two years. This coincidentally(?) occurred just after expiration of the one-year warranty (downloadable from Amazon's listing page). Bemis strictly enforces the length of their warranty. The rep I spoke with pleasantly but firmly stated that they do not make exceptions (unsurprising since they might otherwise go broke due to constantly sending customers free replacements for the comfort seats). The rep I spoke with also convinced me that the new (15EC) model was improved, so I should choose that instead of the 13EC, adding that ordering it from Amazon would cost less because if I ordered direct from Bemis, I would pay for shipping. My pics show the seat she recommended (the 15EC), after removal (about a year and a half later), atop a seat cover on a different toilet seat. On the left side of the seat are creases/wrinkles it came with, and on the right side is the tear that a similar wrinkle became. (It all looks almost identical to my pics of the first two seats.) Like most people, I prefer to spend more for products that last rather than buying crap that just ends up in landfill after a couple of years. Before purchasing new products, I try to adapt old ones of good quality. Case in point: I inherited a padded toilet seat (made by a different [unmarked] manufacturer) that had been happily used elsewhere for at least 15 years. The vinyl was perfectly smooth: no wrinkles or uneven spots. Apparently, that vinyl was better quality (perhaps thicker and/or more flexible), and/or manufactured to more exacting standards. Unfortunately, the screw holes on that seat's hinges didn't line up right for my toilet. This is why I purchased the first Mayfair comfort seat. However, three times was not a charm. I don't recommend this comfort seat because it's cheaply made (or perhaps made to fail), yet expensive. In my experience, the quality issue is specific to the comfort seats; we've had a Bemis wood seat for 10+ years and have used it on two different toilets without any problems other than minor wear of the finish that is fixable by periodically spraying it with a high-quality, high-gloss spray paint. Now I've gone back to using a cold, hard wood seat. To simplify installation, I purchased another Bemis wood toilet seat (similar to the one we've used for 10+ years), which has the same quick-release system. It fits perfectly, is reasonably comfortable, and was less than half the cost of the comfort seat. My first priority for a toilet seat (before comfort) is a lid I can sit on after a shower (small bathroom). Easy to clean is next. Then comes avoiding soft-close. Unlike most (and happily for my pocketbook), I dislike soft-close seats because they seem illogical: Flushing sends micro particles into the air, so I close the lid before flushing, and standing there waiting for it to close so that I can flush seems absurd. When I'm somewhere that has a soft-close seat, I either force it closed more quickly, or let it close while hand-washing and then backtrack to flush. However, I know that many are so accustomed to soft-close seats that non-soft-close seats catch them by surprise: I've heard the muffled bang when they use our bathroom. This is one reason I have a lid cover: to protect the seat finish. I'm considering taping a sign inside the lid: NOT A SOFT-CLOSE SEAT - CLOSE WITH CARE. Sorry for the digression. With the money I've spent on Bemis toilet seats over the years (three comfort seats, plus the original and new wood ones), I could have purchased a whole new toilet (though I'd have to then replace the cheap plastic seat anyway!). These Mayfair comfort seats exemplify how few things are made to last anymore. (When I was a kid, we had one toilet seat for 20+ years!) I wonder if high-quality comfort seats are even available anymore; maybe a high-end specialty shop would have one (though if they did, it would probably be soft-close). There's definitely a niche market opportunity here!

I buy a new one once a year almost to the day HAHHAHA it cracks ! So u buy cheap u buy twice I always say and this is my fourth one so for the money it’s not bad it is nicely padded and comfy , just wish I would get more than a year out of it

I highly recommend you get a cushion for your toilet. It's a game changer. I mean seriously you have to sit there for a while and why not do it in comfort. This seat cushion here is actually quite comfortable and made of quality materials. It's not like you're going to sit on it and it starts to shift from side to side. This doesn't do that. This stuff is like something that you would get from a high performance plumbing company. And when you clean it off it doesn't fall apart. I could see myself buying another one like this and having this product on my toilet for many many years. Again, consider your toilet one of your closest friends and you'll have to set it up so that it treats you good when you sit on it. This is the way nature is. If you want to sit on a hard cold wooden or plastic product this isn't for you. This is somewhat of a luxury product.

Do you poop a lot? Do you get caught up on your phone surfing Reddit & YouTube or filling out Amazon reviews until your legs fall asleep during a hangover poop? Has your girlfriend unironically slipped one of those “stop pooping I miss you :(“ notes under the bathroom door? Then this seat is for you! It was easy to install, fit perfectly on my standard toilet, and adds a good amount of cushioning compared to those rim gel pads and it looks like a normal classy nice comfy toilet seat to guests instead of some weird 6 inch high orthopedic hospital tube seat. The only downsides are that there’s a seam on the inside rim and 99% of the time it’s not a problem but occasionally if it’s a hot & humid day and you’re on there for a while the seat material gets a little slippery so your skin might slide just enough to scratch against that seam. But pro-tip: just keep a paper towel roll in the bathroom for cleaning or whatever and when it’s a hot day or you’ve been on there for a while because last night’s taco Tuesday is about to attack for round 3, just rip a paper towel sheet in half and put each half on the seat under your thighs to both absorb the sweat and cover the seam from scratching. For most of your poop sessions the seam shouldn’t be a problem and the cushion is worth it! I haven’t had any problems with the material tearing so far like other reviews have mentioned, but I try to be gentle with it instead of sprinting to the bathroom at the last second and power-diving my butt onto it lol Just sit down gently and it should last for a while.

Arrivé dans les temps, confortable et facile à installer. Avec le temps on verra pour la durabilité.

Excelente producto. Sólo un poco pesado.

As they warn us, this is for US sized toilets, not UK size. But with a bit of pressure I was able to make it fit. Unfortunately there is no UK sized seat of this quality on Amazon so it might be worth the risk of trying.

Muy buen diseño y aunque no es muy blanda, la comodidad la tiene, cumple perfectamente con mis expectativas ya que la que tenía, se daño muy rápido por no tener centro de madera, aunque aparentemente no es muy económica, creo que vale lo que cuesta, ya que también muy fácil de instalar y se ve muy muy bien! Lo recomiendo ampliamente!!!
