The 8 Best Bidet Toilet Seats for Your Bathroom, Tested and Reviewed

Not everyone needs to have the prettiest toilet seat. However, my first impression of the Alpha Bidet UX Pearl was just that. It’s a pretty bidet toilet seat. The simple design and relatively low profile would likely look great in any bathroom.

The UX Pearl delivers on functionality, too. Because it’s not priced as a budget model by any means, I expected high-level performance. The full-function design offered even more features than other Alpha products. As expected, I found each function to perform flawlessly, and the product durability is just as good as other Alpha Bidet models.

The right bidet toilet seat for you depends on your desired features and how much you’re willing to spend. While it might make sense to outfit the best toilets with a bidet seat that has all the bells and whistles, the fact is that not everybody needs (or even wants) all of the functions the most expensive seats offer. The key factors to consider include:

Size: Toilets are available in elongated and round shapes. Be sure to purchase the bidet seat that fits your toilet.

Comfort: Bidet toilet seats can get pretty thick, resembling a raised toilet seat in some cases. Choose a slim model if a tall seat would feel uncomfortable or strange.

Functions: Bidet toilet seats have functions that range from heated seating and warm water to multiple spray patterns, warm air drying functions and remote control operation. However, as the number of features increase, so does the price.

Price: Bidets cost real money. Non-electric attachment models can cost $100 or less, while full-function models might cost several hundred dollars.

Before testing, we evaluated the top manufacturers in the bidet toilet seat business based on value and customer satisfaction and selected the best bidet toilet seats to take home and try for ourselves.

Our testing method for these products was holistic. Considering everything from unpacking and installing to analyzing the available features and their performance, our tester noted the durability of each product and the user-friendliness of the installation process. He also weighed overall design, comfort and functionality.

Operational testing involved using each model for several days while evaluating comfort, effectiveness, usability and any concerns that surfaced. Finally, our tester noted the best product in each category based on the results.

Of the bidets in our test, the Alpha Bidet JX was the most comfortable due to its non-sloping seating surface and sturdy design. The product felt durable and didn’t move from its mounting even after some abuse to test its ruggedness. The Alpha Bidet JX we tested fit an elongated toilet. However, judging by the testing success, we can confidently conclude that the shorter version is just as comfortable.

Most toilet seat bidets have warranties lasting between a year and five years. However, the expected lifespan of most of these products is between six and ten. Bidet toilet seats see more or less use and wear depending on family size, among other factors. As a mechanical device that can wear out, expect five or six years from a busy bidet and ten or more years from a less-used one.
