The ADA compliant toilets height range is between 17 to 19 inches of seat height (from the floor to the top of the seat). But most toilets sold as tall toilets or ADA toilet height models are just barely touching it with a 17 or 17 1/2-inch seat height only.

I’ve been into marketing toilets for nearly five years now and so far I’ve come across only couple of 18 inch seat height toilets like the Kohler Highline toilet and Kohlar Santa Rosa toilet, and only one 19 inch seat high toilet.

The 19 inch toilet which is the tallest ADA recommended seat height toilet, I’ve come across is the Signature Hardware Stalnaker toilet. This 19 inch toilet is ideal for people with a height of around 5′ 11″ feet.

A above 6 footer person might feel even the 19-inch highest height ADA compliant toilet is short. So the 20 inch high Convenient Height toilet will be good for around 6′ 2″ feet tall person.

But for very tall person like 6′ 4″ and above the new 21 inch bowl height Bradenton Toilet from Signature Hardware will be the most comfortable. I saw online reviews on Amazon from people as tall as 6′ 8″ saying this 21-inch high Bradenton model has been a wonderful toilet for him. He finds it much more comfortable than the ADA recommended comfort height toilets he’s been forced to use until now.

Note, most tallest toilets are not cheap. However your toilet is one of the best things you can invest to increase your comfort and peace of mind at home while attending to your personal needs. So its worth the extra splash.

However the tall toilets I’ve listed here are not as expensive as they use to be. If you go to stores that sell equipment and supplies for disabled and handicapped people you might find a obscure toilet model or two. But most often them cost upward of thousand dollars because they are rare and custom built.

Also tall toilets are made in limited quantity and there are only a few models available in the market. There is lot of design and engineering challenges that go into making toilets. That’s why there are so few toilet manufacturers in a country as large as America with the most advance technology and largest consumer market.

Overall, in this post, you had a look at all the tallest toilets available in the American market today. Collectively these are the tallest toilets for sale today. Unlike a few years ago, fortunately today we have several 19, 20 and 21 inch high toilets for sale. Now we only have to decide which is the best tall toilet for your needs and requirements. 

24 Inch Toilets

I know some very tall people with a height like 6 foot 8 inches etc would like to have an ultra tall toilet like 24 inches high seat toilets. Even while I was researching for this post, I came across search queries and comments from people asking for 24 inch toilets with either a 24 inch bowl height or 24 inch seat height.

Unfortunately there aren’t any 24 inch toilets for sale yet! But who knows if there’s enough demand some toilet maker may produce one soon. (Comment if you’d like to have a 24 inch high toilet.)

Until very recently, I heard many tall and elderly people complaint about the newer ADA recommended 17 to 19 inch high, comfort height toilets not being tall enough for them. They used to ask for toilets with 20 high bowls. At that time there weren’t any 20 or even a proper 19 inch toilet I could recommend to them. Back then the only options were to check with local medical supply stores to see whether they had any custom built high seat handicapped toilets or to install a toilet raiser under a normal toilet or use a raised toilet seat.

  1. I would like a tall toilet that has self cleaning capacity. I can’t seem to find a tall toilet that has self cleaning (like a Toto).

    Could you point me in the right direction, regardless of manufacturer.

    1. Hi Jack,
      As far as I know, there aren’t any tall models that come with a bidet like some of the 15 to 17 inch tall Toto toilets. However, you can replace the toilet seats that come with the above listed toilets, with any elongated shaped Toto bidet or another bidet model.

  2. I’m handicapped and 6’8″ tall. I could use a toilet at least 2 0 in. tall from the floor to the top of the bowl. Thank you.

  3. My husband is 6’4” tall, had knee surgery. Has in the past two years had difficulty with hips and sit to stand movements. He is in need of 24 inch toilet but cannot find them anywhere. Any suggestions?

  4. Hi, my name is Sherry G. If we could locate a 24-inch toilet, it would definitely meet our family’s needs. This is due to arthritis, future knee & hip replacements, bilateral prosthetic legs, and lastly, degenerative disc disease. Please keep us updated on vendors that carry such products.
    Best Regards, Sherry G.

  5. I am 6’8” with osteoarthritis in the hip and knee joints and problems caused by spinal deformations. Thanks for your research! I am 40 years old and also heading towards joint replacements. Just for your encouragement. The public awareness of the premature health problems most of us ‘giants’ face could indeed be much better….

  6. I have discs problems and arthritis and bilateral prosthetic feet. Sitting on a handicap toilet that’s 17 inches high is incredibly painful and difficult for me to get up and down from. I am only 5’6″ but 20-22 inch fit my handicap perfectly. I was hoping for 20 to 22 inch toilet since I recently had to replace one. Unfortunately I had to do with the ugly riser that attaches to a standard toilet. I’m very unhappy that handicap folks like us cannot get a true handicap toilet. I was hesitant to try to order a toilet off of Amazon. Is high time the bathroom fixture manufacturers wake up to the fact this agent population needs higher toilets!

  7. My husband and I have longed for a extra tall toilet. A 22 inch would be wonderful. My husband has bad hip and knees. We have a 17 inch which is nothing after getting used to it.
