This was easy to install and is a definite improvement over the bare seat. My husband still complains that it is not soft enough but he uses it now where he did not before so it can't be that uncomfortable. My husband is a very large man so....take that into accountSoft and easy for disabled people to use.Would recommend it for anyone to use of the senior age or disabled.I was hoping this would fit the commode we have in our bathroom but the connectors didn't line up with the commode we have so I had to return it. It looked like a very nice product and would have worked well otherwise.Purchased this for my elderly mother's handicap toilet. Searched all over and there is nothing like this. If you need a softer seat for your loved one that may need to sit longer, while you can purchase cushioned regular toilet seats, there was no solution for a handicapped commode. To get a better cushioned seat you have to buy and entire bed side commode. Other options are unsanitary cushions you place on top of the handicap seat, are not safe, and don't fasten well and you can't wipe off like you would a regular toilet seat. This purchased item has the hooks on the back just like the bed side commode seat and snap right in place. While it is not overly plush it is 10 times softer than a regular commode seat, and it appears to be strong and very well made. You can use it as the toilet seat or keep the middle piece in when you need as a regular chair seat. I rarely write reviews but am so happy with this purchase and would think others are struggling with finding this product as I did. My poor 94 year old mom will be so much more comfortable. Additionally it came right on time. I could not be happier. I thought it was pricey when I bought it but worth every penny! Highly recommend!My mom needs this because her back hurts too much to just sit on the commode with no cushion. We had to buy it quickly when she injured her back, otherwise no way would I have spent $55 for basically a cheap stadium cushion with a piece of wood underneath it!!! I could have made this myself for $10. But this was the only one being sold. That being said, my mom said it helps her, though it's not that soft, it's better than nothing.this is an updated review, I originally purchased this item and it did not fit the shower chair I purchased it for, not really the suppliers fault just one of those unfortunate things, the dimensions were the same as the previous seat I purchased from another vendor, and that one fit fine. Not sure maybe the brackets were spaced a little differently , regardless I requested a return. Initially the supplier requested that I return the product to them in China which I explained to them was not really cost effective. They agreed and we were able to come to an agreement were I would get a refund , without having to pay for shipping back to China. The customer service was excellent, the communication great. They resolved my issue in a very timely matter. Oustanding customer serviceThe cushion is so soft and does not harm the skin and prevents pinching around the thighs when sitting. I highly recommend this for someone with little to no fat or muscle, it's really helps prevent damage.My 13-year-old had major reconstructive surgery of his entire lower half. A dozen bones broken and reset, tendons shortened and lengthened. We ordered the seat for his bedside commode to be at our home before we returned from a week in the hospital. The seat cushion has two very large slices in the seat. This will now have to be thrown away when he is finished using it as there is no way to properly clean it with the inside foam exposed. Very disappointing!
