is the toilet seat itself flat (ie. not a dish-shaped contour) ? (bad back)

Yes, the toilet seat is pretty flat. It is a very basic style that you have probably seen many times before.

The material in this toilet seat is a tough plastic that apparently has been blown into a mold...the seat is hollow, light weight, white, no holes so very easy to clean or sterilize in a sink or tub...there is no squishy foam covered with vinyl (my mother had one of those, and it was uncomfortable and difficult to clean)...this seat just sits on the toilet with the seat raised, has a couple little pads under it to hold it in place, and does not move unless you pick it up. I shopped carefully for a raised toilet seat and bought two of these...they're super and buying one if cheaper than renting for a month at the medical supply store.

It doesn't recline flat but it reclines back far enough for facial waxing. I like it for waxing because I don't have to bend over as far as I did when I waxed at the shampoo bowel. My back would hurt after awhile. Using this chair my back do sent hurt.

I have taken this directly from Amazon which is my only source: "Natural wood Veneer toilet seat will not split or crack. No tarnish stylish hinges for a secure, no wobble fit. Fits all round toilet bowls. My old one was not a veneer and showed where it was glued but never came apart; however, the plastic under the cover and seat did crack over the three years of up/down and my 130 pounds on it!

I believe the seat is designed for a oblong shape toilet, even so, I found that the seat doesn't reach all the way to the rear of the toilet but if you take care to center the seat with the adjusting screws and then snug, not crank down on the screws the seat stays in place pretty good.

It does not go completely flat. I would not recommend laying on your stomach in these chairs.

I am currently out of town but I will return this weekend. This is a very nicely made quality item. It fit our standard toilet perfectly. It is not an elongated seat. I will check the dimentions tomorrow...

My seat was more round than elongated and it fits it very well. From back to front it is 17.25 inches and it is 14 inches wide. I had to purchase a different seat because the style I had did not have long bolt openings. I just got a different style toilet seat that had openings for the bolts to go all the way through the back of the seat. I have to tighten the bolts every now and then but if I got some locking bolts that would not be an issue. The product is working very well. I hope this helps.I do not find it difficult to clean at all.

All toilet seats are held in place by friction resulting from being bolted down. A seat will tend to shift off center when one or both the hold-down bolts are not tight enough. Therefore, there's no toilet that will not shift if not properly tightened down. The Bemis has a well designed hinge mechanism if only they would include a comprehensive instruction sheet with it.

I think it's probably like any other stool it's just that it's got a very comfortable saddle seat so it's helpful with correct posture. Hope that helps.

Yes. The risers screw onto the bottom on the toilet seat, so shape doesn't matter

This toilet seat which I purchased hasn't moved (bemis 1500ec000)! It is great! I am actually saving to get 2 more for my other bathrooms! Love this seat and it's unique ability to quickly disconnect for cleaning (I have messy boys). Hope this helps!

This is an elongated toilet. Make sure you purchase the elongated seat and not the rounded one.

I found a picture showing the unit from the side: http://www.amazon.com/Bilt-rite-Orthopedics-Safety-Infrared-Heat/dp/B009R2J0KI/ref=cm_cr-mr-title. As you can see the backside is not flat.

It is contoured to fit around the toilet bowl base. So it can stay in place and not take up much room.

Does not have a traditional seat to begin with like a regular toilet. Just a hole in the board that makes up the top of the commode. Hope this helps.

Yes I have a round toilet seat and it works just fine though i no longer need it. It was handy after my total knee replacement!
