Toilet Seats - Are You Sitting Comfortably

Read between the lines - if you have uncomfortable toilet seats, it's time you invested in new ones.

Love reading on the toilet? Then you'll have an appreciation of toilet seats. It isn't until you experience toilet seats that have cracks, are rickety or just not very substantial that you realise just how crucial toilet seats are – especially if you love to indulge in reading on the loo. Toilet reading is so popular there are even online book clubs dedicated to the pursuit. There are a number of reasons why certain people are thought to love sitting on toilet seats perusing their favourite book of poetry, dipping into a magazine or even reading a novel. Toilet seats offer privacy – for those on hectic households with busy families, it can be the only place that offers an escape.

Toilet Seats – Peace and Quiet

Despite the fact toilet seats may be appealing perches for those desperate for some peace and quiet, there are a few health concerns about sitting on toilet seats for too long. In America, there was the incredibly bizarre story of a woman who spent two years on a toilet seat, so long that her skin actually grew and glued itself to the toilet seat. That's rather unlikely for most of us, unless your toilet reading is epic like Tolstoy's War and Peace. But still, spending too long on toilet seats could, some fear, result in enlarged haemorrhoids. How? Reading on toilet seats means you tend to be distracted and relaxed, which can detract from efficient blood flow. The more common problem of lingering too long on toilet seats to finish the next exciting chapter, is cramp.

Unforgiving Toilet Seats

If reading on the bog is your idea of heaven though, make sure you achieve optimum comfort – invest in good quality toilet seats. Unforgiving toilet seats can be agony, but there's a wide range of cool or stylish toilet seats to choose from – such as the warming effect of wood, the quirky novelty toilet seats or the simple, bog-standard design. As well as toilet seats, think about comfortable lighting – soft glows are more relaxing. And make sure your bathroom isn't to hot or too cold – if you're freezing sat on the toilet seat, you're unlikely to get past the first sentence.
