Which height should I choose?

Original at 9 inches creates a more pronounced squat and works well with standard-height toilets and good flexibility. Relaxed at 7.5 inches suits comfort-height toilets, anyone with knee or hip issues, or those who find a deep squat uncomfortable. Both achieve the posture benefit; choose based on your toilet height and range of motion.

Will this fit around my toilet base?

The curved design wraps partway around a standard round or elongated toilet base. It may not fit toilets with unusually wide bases, wall-mounted models, or fixtures with decorative skirting that extends far from the bowl. Measure the space in front of your toilet: the stool is 16.5 inches wide and 9 inches deep.

Does the curved surface feel stable?

The contoured footplate follows the natural arch of the foot, distributing weight and preventing slipping. It's more stable than a flat surface for most users because it cradles the foot rather than leaving it to balance. Works with bare feet or socks.

How do the finishes hold up to bathroom humidity?

All three finishes are designed for bathroom use. White is easiest to wipe clean and shows the least water spotting. Bamboo and brushed nickel finishes coordinate well with hardware but may show water spots or fingerprints more readily, requiring occasional wiping to maintain appearance.

Why it's on GiftsFeed

Contoured toilet stool that tucks close and stays out of sight

Most toilet stools sit square in front of the bowl, announcing their function and claiming space even when idle. This one curves to hug the base, tucking out of sight and reducing how much floor it blocks. That shape also means feet rest in a natural arch rather than flat, which matters more than you'd think during the minute or two you're actually using it. If you want the benefit without the visual clutter or the clinical look, the curved footprint and finish options make it worth the step up from a generic step stool.

Good gift when

The maker

TUSHY entered the market known for bidets, then turned attention to the other fixture in the room. The company noticed that most posture stools looked clinical or cartoonish, and all of them sat prominently in front of the toilet whether in use or not. The Ottoman was designed to solve both problems: finishes that match bathroom hardware and a curved footplate that wraps around the base to stay out of the way. The contoured surface came from user feedback about discomfort on flat platforms during extended use. Two heights address the reality that comfort-height toilets and standard models need different squat angles to achieve the same pelvic tilt.

The details

A toilet stool that positions feet higher to shift pelvic angle during use, designed to sit flush against the base rather than jutting into the room. The curved footplate wraps partway around the porcelain, letting it nestle close when not needed and providing contoured support when it is. Surface contouring follows the natural arch of the foot.

Available in three finishes—white, bamboo, and brushed nickel—to coordinate with bathroom hardware and fixture color. Two height options accommodate different leg lengths and flexibility: Original stands 9 inches tall, Relaxed at 7.5 inches. Both measure 16.5 inches wide and 9 inches deep front to back.

The raised squat posture this stool enables aligns the colon more directly by reducing the angle at the puborectal muscle, which partially closes off the rectum when seated upright. Elevating feet brings knees above hips, loosening that kink. Clinical evidence supports faster and more complete bowel movements in this position compared to standard seated posture.

The curved design keeps the stool against the toilet rather than centered in front of it, reducing the footprint it occupies when idle. No need to move it aside between uses. The finish options let it match bathroom décor rather than standing out as a medical aid.

Feet rest on a shaped surface rather than a flat platform, distributing pressure and maintaining comfort during the time spent in position. The curvature accommodates bare feet or socks without slipping.

Choose Original height if you have standard flexibility and want a more pronounced squat angle. Choose Relaxed if you have knee issues, limited range of motion, or a taller toilet that already brings knees higher. Both work with standard and comfort-height fixtures, though the Relaxed pairs better with taller bowls.
