Title: upholstering a toilet seat lol
Post by: pat on January 31, 2013, 08:14:21 am
This is interesting, and could be a lucrative business for someone. Have hard plastic seat, attach foam to it and cover in white vinyl. lol  Has anyone ever done one, any thoughts. they price at 172.00 what a joke.

I've never done one but I have sat on one.

Here's what a lot of folks will think:

If you could embroider college names or company mascots, that might be interesting. LOL

Other than our government, I can't imagine anyone paying $172 for a toilet seat.

Oh, there's a Florida company that's cut quite a niche for themselves.  And you can send them fabric and they'll make your seat to match whatever....

Wow, what a nice thought...especially when it is supposed to get to a MINUS 29F BELOW in the morning for some of us in North Dakota!!!  That is not with the wind chill factor. With that it will get to close to -60F to -70F.

No Peeing into the wind, again!

Bed, Bath & Beyond sells heated 12v seats - I've seen them in there.  Google heated toilet seat and you'll get lots of options.
