My dad had to rehabilitate for walking difficulties after an injury to his tailbone. The rehabilitation center highly recommended this particular commode because it’s very comfortable (it is also the one they use, at an excellent Boston area rehab center) so I ordered it for my father and he loves it. He still uses it eight months later, even though he probably doesn’t really need it. It’s just so comfortable.Then my mom had a hip replacement and the commode she had wasn’t wide enough to open her legs to wipe, so I recommended this one and I ordered it and put it together and put it on her toilet, which is super easy, by the way, you just place it on top of the toilet bowl area and it stands strong on its own. The seat is soft and cushy, and does not cut into the edge of my parents legs, it is super comfortable to sit on, and it’s wide enough to maneuver on properly.I have now recommended this comode to many other people with aging parents who need a good commode that’s comfortable. They are all grateful as it was 1) recommended by rehab professionals, 2) tried and true by two separate aging parents. You never know, otherwise, how it will be (it could be hit or miss trial and error).
