Big John™ Toilet Seat

"Why would anyone squeeze into coach when they could ease into first class?"

Excellent question from high–end Los Angeles plumbing designer Aitan Levy, the creator of the Big John™ Toilet Seat (above, next to a standard seat).

The outside rim of Big John™ is 5 inches wider than a standard 14–inch seat.

It can hold up to 1,200 pounds.

• Stylish ergonomic design fits on any standard toilet, round or elongated

• Larger, more comfortable opening

• Luxuriously contoured sitting surface — "roomier than any other toilet seat on the market"

• Engineered tough for long–lasting durability

• Made of high–grade anti–microbial plastic — stain and chemical resistant

• Durable "continuous stainless steel hinges" (above) provide unbreakable strength where others fail

• Stabilizing rubber bumpers (below)

literally grip the porcelain, keeping the seat from any unwanted shifting

Very helpful for the elderly and the handicapped because it cantilevers over the side so they can grab the seat and make their transfer from a wheelchair more easily.

So far over 3,000 have been sold.

$120 to $130 here.
