Age gracefully.
A freestanding toilet safety rail with two padded armrests, so the people you love can sit and stand on their own. No tools, no drilling, sold on Amazon.
Something solid to hold, on both sides.
Sitting down and standing up take the most strength in a bathroom, often on a slippery floor with nothing to hold. The Abrielder toilet safety rail is a freestanding aluminium frame with two light grey padded armrests. It stands around the toilet on four suction-cup feet, so it gives a firm push-off point on both sides at a height you choose, with nothing drilled into the floor or walls.

Toilet safety rail FAQ
How do I choose a toilet safety rail?
Start with three measurements: the widest point of the toilet bowl, the clear floor space around the toilet, and the seat height. A freestanding rail suits renters and anyone who can't drill. Choose one whose armrests can reach the person's forearm height when seated, with feet that grip a flat, dry floor.
Is a toilet safety rail or a grab bar better?
A grab bar is fixed to the wall and gives one handhold to the side. A freestanding toilet safety rail gives two armrests, one on each side, so the person can push up evenly with both hands. Rails need no drilling and can move between bathrooms; grab bars need solid wall fixings.
Will the Abrielder toilet safety rail fit an elongated toilet?
It fits most standard (round) and elongated toilets, because it stands on the floor around the toilet instead of bolting to it. Before buying, measure the clear floor width around the toilet and compare it with the frame's outside dimensions on the Amazon listing.
How high should toilet safety rail armrests be?
Set them so that, seated, the person's forearms rest on the armrests with relaxed shoulders. Too low and they bend forward and strain their wrists; too high and their elbows lift. The Abrielder rail's armrests adjust from 25.4 to 31.3 inches above the floor in 7 settings.
Can I use a toilet safety rail with a raised toilet seat?
Usually, yes. A raised seat typically adds 3 to 5 inches, so set the rail with the seat in place and check the armrests can still reach the person's forearm height when seated. Our fit guide has a quick height checker for this.
Do I need tools or drilling to set up the Abrielder rail?
No. The frame unfolds, the legs adjust with spring buttons, and it stands on four suction-cup feet. Nothing is screwed into the floor or walls, which makes it a common choice for renters.
How do I stop a toilet safety rail from sliding?
Wipe the floor clean and dry, press each suction-cup foot down flat, and make sure all four legs are on the same height setting. Then press down hard on each armrest and push it side to side. If it rocks or slides, recheck the legs and the floor.
Where can I buy the Abrielder toilet safety rail?
It is sold on Amazon.com in the United States (ASIN B0FJFM5K8H) and shipped by Amazon. Abrielder does not sell directly on this website.
