Standard height toilet rims are 14-15" from the floor.
Many folks are changing out their toilets to RH (right height) 17-19" units.
Why?
Gaining 2" using a standard seat seems straightforward.
Automobiles are routinely raised or lowered a few inches; why not toilet seats?
The hinge mount is simple; use a 2" spacer made from plastic or ceramic and longer screws.
The harder part is supporting the seat.
The spacers could be attached to the seat or the rim.
I would guess that 4 supports would be strong enough.
With the seat and cover down, it would look pretty normal.
I would opt to attach the spacers to the seat for ease of cleaning.
Why go through the bother and expense of changing out an entire toilet?
