Anyway, one of them gets used a lot and the other much less. About five years ago, when they were five years old, the soft close mechanism on the lid failed, and it's surprisingly annoying having to relearn the art of closing a loo seat softly! I thought at the time their prices for a replacement were a bit steep, so I bought a cheap soft-close replacement somewhere and that fitted remarkably well but feels a bit flexible and 'cheap'. I put that on the little-used loo and moved its original seat to the more heavily-used one.

So another five years has passed and it feels like the soft close on the second Vitra seat is beginning to fail. The price has gone up even more, and I now have evidence that a new one would only last five years, so I'm reluctant to buy another from Vitra. But I would like a better quality then the previous replacement I bought (and I can't remember where I got it :cry: ).

So does anybody have any idea how or where to buy good loo seats to fit my loo?]]> Loo seats https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18289&Focus=308278#Comment_308278 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=18289&Focus=308278#Comment_308278 Sun, 27 Apr 2025 08:12:01 +0100 PeterStarck

This should be cheaper (and less resource wasteful)I didn't even know such a thing was possible.

They're still going strong and we chose this place because we wanted different designs and they had a good selection.

Choice of 206 soft close seats.Wow!. Useful to know have a seat playing up makes clicking noise when lifting. Maybe on way out.
