Toilets: comfortable and efficient.(HOME: BATHROOM MAKEOVERS)(Buyers Guide)
Even the utilitarian commode is getting a revamp as toilet manufacturers strive to make this most basic of bathroom elements more accommodating.
Trends include more comfort-height models, which raise the rim from the usual 14 inches to as much as 17 inches above the floor. The added height makes getting on and off easier, especially for aging boomers, who have helped boost sales to roughly twice what they were in 2001. But their added comfort is likely to appeal to younger buyers, too.
Some of the most capable models blend their higher style with high performance at a moderate price. Two, from Eljer and Kohler, cost less than $300.
