Terry, i want to know too. If they are so comfortable, why haven't companies been making them? Someone long ago in the last hundred years could have realized that low toilets weren't as good as high toilets, and started making them. A long time ago.
Now they call them ADA height toilets as if they are made for people with problems. I don't like that. When I installed a wall hung toilet at a high height, lots of people around me didn't like the fact that I was doing something that "
I thought" would be good while on the other hand I had no reference to refer to to prove to them that people actually can get used to it easily and then end up liking it higher. It was a tense time. My wife didn't sleep well at night; in the end we spent more on therapy than the cost of the toilet. I just wish I'd had a few internet resources to go to to show her and others that it was a normal thing, or that it could become normal if people would just let it be "The new Norm". At some point in this century it might become the norm, since people are generally taller than they were a century ago, and besides, industry needs "new" things to sell so that the previous generation of products can be looked down at with scorn. This puts both buyer and seller in a win-win situation. The new thing is solving a new perceived problem.

p.s. i know one guy who likes a low height, like a hole in the ground, so he puts his feet up on the rim. No seat. He learned this in Asia. Maybe
that'll be the next big thing.
