MUZT is partnering with the largest plastic toilet seat manufacturer in the world. According to our toilet seat expert, there are four main things to look at for choosing your perfect toilet seat replacement:
1. Shape – it is important that the shape of the replacement seat is similar to the shape of your toilet bowl.
The most common toilet bowl shapes in Australia are:
- Oval / elongated Shaped
- D Shaped / U Shaped
2. Measurements - your toilet pan needs to be within 3 points of measurements of the replacement seat as the sample chart below:

- Ideally the toilet seat fully covers the front end of your toilet pan to be more hygienic.
3. Fixing type – there are two common types of fixings depending on the type of your toilet, please ensure you choose the right fixing.
- Top/Blind fixing - screwing from the top. If your hands cannot reach the toilet hole/bolt from underneath then your toilet is a top/blind fixing type.
- Bottom fixing – hand screwing from underneath the toilet hole. this is a traditional style of fixing. If your hands can reach your toilet hole/bolt from underneath then your toilet is a bottom fixing type.
