Bemis Flushes Away Sizing Issues With New Universal Fit™ Toilet Seat

Bemis demonstrates its commitment to innovation with an industry-first, universal toilet seat, prioritizing convenience for professional installers

SHEBOYGAN FALLS, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bemis, a leading manufacturer of quality, innovative bathroom products, today announced the launch of its Universal Fit™ toilet seat. New to the industry and recently awarded a Reviewed KBIS 2025 Award, the Universal Fit™ is the first traditional toilet seat engineered and designed to fit both standard round and elongated toilet bowls.

Universal Fit™ arrives as more plumbers and installers seek convenience on the job. Before, if a customer unexpectedly requested to change their toilet seat and the professional installer didn’t have the right size, they’d have to leave the jobsite, purchase the seat, then return to finish the job — a long process that took time away from their other jobs. Universal Fit™ solves this problem by being a seat that can fit any standard toilet bowl, whether round or elongated, saving time and money in inventory for professional installers.

This new toilet seat also benefits wholesalers, who’ll only need to manage and inventory one model instead of two, saving them more space.

One of Universal Fit’s™ features is Bemis’ patented Stay·Tite^® Seat Fastening System™, which allows the toilet seat to stay secure to the bowl without shifting or wiggling. Additionally, its Whisper·Close^® hinge enables the seat to close slowly and quietly, allowing users to avoid disturbing others. The hinge is designed with extreme adjustability, allowing the seat to fit standard round and elongated toilets.

“Universal Fit™ supports Bemis’ commitment to market-backed innovation by offering our customers exceptional products that solve problems, make lives easier and improve the user experience,” said Lisa Burns, market and product development manager at Bemis. “It’s a big win when you can bring a product to market that solves a problem for both wholesalers and installers. Universal Fit™ means only one model for installers to keep on their truck for last-minute requests or for the wholesaler to inventory when space is limited.”

Universal Fit™ is now available. For more information, inquire at your local wholesale plumbing distributor or trade counter.
