When it comes to the price of toilet seats, you should know that wood ones are slightly more expensive than plastic ones. You should expect to pay between $15 and $100 for a good quality toilet seat. For example, for around $15 you can get a molded wood toilet seat with high-gloss finish that is scratch and chip resistant. If your budget is larger, for around $80 you can get a toilet seat that is chemical resistant and features an ergonomic design with molded bumpers.

It’s good to stay away from cheap toilet seats as they're made of poor quality materials and won't last more than six months in your bathroom.

Let’s find out more about the construction and design aspects of toilet seats.

When it comes to the construction and design aspects, as we told you already, you can choose between oval and round shaped ones and wood or plastic ones.

The type of toilet you have affects the shape of the toilet seat you will choose. Round toilet seats are found in most homes, but oval seats are becoming more popular as they look really fashionable.

Nowadays, you can find toilet seats in all colors. Blue, green, pink, purple, you name it! There are even black toilet seats that have sleek designs and enrich the decor of any bathroom.

Plastic toilet seats are very popular, and you can find them everywhere. They can be molded in any shape and are very durable. They are scratch and chip resistant and come in a variety of colors.

Wood toilet seats are considered traditional, but are still available in multiple colors and finishes. Even though they offer warmth and charm, they are a bit heavy and more difficult to clean than plastic toilet seats.

When it comes to the installation of your toilet seat, you can choose between the ones with standard bolt and nut mount and the ones with integral bolt and nut. The ones with integral bolt and nut can be a bit difficult to remove, while the ones with standard bolt and nut are easier to install and remove and very common in most toilet seats.

Quality toilet seats should be really easy to clean and maintain. The cleaning process shouldn’t be complicated because it will discourage you from cleaning it often. A good toilet seat should be easy to remove and have a user-friendly fastening system.

Even though we prefer not to talk so much about it, the underneath of the toilet seat is exposed to multiple germs. You can use bleach, a soft scrub, or even baking soda to clean it and make it look as good as new. In the end, if you take care of your toilet seat, it will take good care of you for years.
