Cleanliness is next to godliness, but comfort is also pretty high on the list, particularly as more homeowners embrace the concept of aging in place. “Almost every house we do gets a comfort-height elongated toilet with a slow-close seat,” says Astrid Bergstrom, showroom manager at Robinson Bath Centre.

“People are thinking they’re going to live in their house for a long time. They don’t want to replace the toilet. Older empty-nesters are buying new homes and they want higher toilets. Comfort height makes it ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant and elongated makes the bowl bigger. It’s easier to use. And slow close means nobody has to touch the toilet — you just give it a tap and it closes on its own.”
