How to choose the right toilet backrest

Start with whether the backrest needs to be a standalone fitting or part of a combined grab rail and backrest set. A combined set simplifies installation where both a hand-hold and back support are needed at the toilet, and comes in 40 and 90 degree angles with left or right hand orientation to suit the room layout and the user's stronger side. A standalone backrest suits rooms where a grab rail is already installed separately.

For facilities with a higher risk of fixtures being tampered with or forced, choose a vandal-proof (VP) version, which uses more secure fixings. Otherwise, weigh up padded versus stainless steel surfaces: padded backrests are more comfortable for longer seated periods, while stainless steel is easier to disinfect thoroughly between uses in a high-turnover facility.

Frequently asked questions

Who needs a toilet backrest?
A toilet backrest supports residents or patients who can't sit fully upright unassisted, giving lower back support that a standard cistern or wall doesn't provide. It's commonly fitted alongside a care toilet suite in aged-care and hospital bathrooms.
What does vandal-proof (VP) mean on a backrest listing?
A vandal-proof backrest uses fixings and a construction designed to resist tampering or forced removal, which is specified in facilities with a higher risk of misuse, such as some hospital, disability or mental health settings.
Can a backrest be combined with a grab rail in one set?
Yes, this range includes combined grab rail and backrest sets at 40 and 90 degree configurations, in both padded and stainless steel finishes, so support and backrest are installed as a single unit.
