Abstract

This study examines the appropriate position for and configuration of a toilet seat for the population of the United Kingdom. The study is based on the assumption that only a seated posture would be acceptable. Subjects underwent sitting trials using five different toilet seats, and data obtained include physical and subjective measures of subjects' responses. It is recommended that the height of a toilet seat should be 0.4 m. Seat angle is not a critical factor in subject preference.
