VitrA S50 Comfort Height Back-to-Wall Toilet with Soft-Close Seat

After several weeks of use, I'm pleased to share my experience with the Vitra S50 Raised Height BTW pan and seat, a product that addresses a genuine need often overlooked in bathroom design. The comfort height is transformative. The difference from a standard-height toilet is immediately noticeable. Rising and sitting requires considerably less strain, making daily use far more comfortable. This isn't a minor improvement; it's a practical solution that genuinely enhances quality of life for anyone with mobility concerns, back problems, or simply taller individuals who find standard toilets awkwardly low. The vitreous china construction feels substantial and well-made. The pan has a reassuring solidity that suggests longevity, backed by a solid 10-year guarantee. The clean, contemporary design works well in our bathroom without dominating the space, and the back-to-wall configuration creates a tidy, streamlined appearance with all pipework neatly concealed. Cleaning is straightforward thanks to the smooth glazed surface. Installation proceeded smoothly for our plumber, who confirmed the dimensions matched standard concealed cistern specifications perfectly. However, the pan is notably heavy, and it was a two-man job to get this item up the stairs into the bathroom, which could challenge some households or installers working alone. The Vitra S50 Raised Height delivers exactly what it promises: comfortable, accessible, reliable bathroom provision. It's particularly well-suited for anyone prioritising comfort and accessibility without sacrificing style.

The pan is so much more expensive than others - is it simply because it's a wee bit higher? The toilet seat is a soft close, but takes a long time to close!

Being slightly disabled, the height of the toilet is great do not need frame around toilet to get on and off. It looks great too.
