What's your opinion about toilet seat height?

Asked by JLeslie (65418points) November 11th, 2014 from iPhone

The standard height is around 15–16” to the top of the seat. Comfort height is 17–18”.

I just looked at what my builder installed in my house and they look mini small. I measured the toilet and they are short compared to what is in my apartment and every house I have ever owned.

I know it’s supposed to be better to have your knees a little up when going to the bathroom to reduce the risk of your legs or feet falling asleep, and also to make “going” easier, but I feel like I am almost sitting in the floor. Amazing what an inch difference can make.

What height do you prefer and how tall are you?
