Wood Toilet Seat vs. Plastic Toilet Seat: Which Is Better?
The toilet seat is the only piece of furniture in your home that needs to be in constant contact with bare bottoms, and ease of use is paramount. Both wooden and plastic toilet seats sit well. Some people like the smoothness of plastic, while others like the feel of finished wood. Waterproof varnishes on wooden seats should also resist waste, dirt and grime, and usually do a very good job. However, the texture of wood is naturally rougher than plastic, resulting in more cracks and crevices where dirt can collect. Over time, wood can develop an unpleasant odor that is difficult to remove. Wooden seats almost always have loose hinges, which means they will fall with a bang if you don't close them gently. The soft-close seat, made mostly of plastic, can be released at any angle to float shut silently.
Plastic toilet seats cost about the same as wood, but plastic toilet seats have a high-quality, moisture-resistant finish that makes them easier to clean and are antimicrobial to keep bacteria from growing in your bathroom. Durable enough to resist staining, fading and scratching.
I personally think plastic toilet seats are better than wooden toilet seats, which material do you like for wooden toilet seats?
