- What it is: an elongated, two-piece, floor-mounted toilet with a 22 inch seat height and a 21 inch bowl height, per the title.
- Flush: dual flush at 1.1 or 1.6 gallons per flush, with a 360° jet siphon and a MAP score of 1000 grams listed.
- Fit: 12 inch rough-in, 29 x 16.75 x 36.5 inches overall.
- Extras: soft-close seat that the listing says detaches for cleaning.
- Check first: 22 inches is taller than most comfort-height toilets, so measure the person and the space before you order.
A tall toilet for seniors can make the daily sit-and-stand motion shorter, which is why extra-tall models have become a popular bathroom upgrade. Miuara's version puts the top of the seat at 22 inches, several inches higher than a typical comfort-height toilet.
This review reads the listing closely, on paper: heights, flush volumes, certifications and installation fit. It sits in the bathroom range next to two pedestal sinks. We do not make health claims; for specific mobility needs, an occupational therapist is the best person to advise on height and grab bars.
Miuara 22 Inch Elongated Extra Tall Tall Toilet for Seniors 1.1/1.6 GPF
On paper, the Miuara 22 inch tall toilet is a straightforward extra-height, elongated two-piece toilet with a water-saving 1.1/1.6 GPF dual flush, a soft-close seat and a standard 12 inch rough-in. It suits tall users and households looking for a higher seat. The main caveat is the height itself: 22 inches is well above comfort height, so it is not the right fit for everyone.
- Tall adults and anyone who finds standard toilets too low
- Households that want a higher seat without a separate raised seat add-on
- Bathrooms with a standard 12 inch rough-in
- Shorter users whose feet would not rest flat on the floor
- Bathrooms with a 10 or 14 inch rough-in
- Anyone who needs a toilet that meets a specific accessibility code height

How tall should a tall toilet for seniors be?
There is no single right height. A standard toilet is roughly 15 inches to the bowl rim, and so-called comfort-height or chair-height toilets usually sit around 17 to 19 inches to the top of the seat, the range used in the ADA standards for accessible toilets. Miuara's 22 inch seat height goes beyond that.
A higher seat means less distance to lower down and push back up, which is why the maker pitches it for seniors, tall people and anyone with limited mobility. But higher is not automatically better. If feet dangle or only the toes touch the floor, the toilet can feel less stable, not more.
A quick way to check
- Have the main user sit on a chair or stool with feet flat and knees at roughly a right angle.
- Measure from the floor to the top of the seat.
- If that number is close to 22 inches, this toilet is a good match. If it is several inches lower, a comfort-height model may be a better fit.

Dual flush: how much water does it use?
The listing gives two flush volumes: 1.1 gallons per flush for liquid waste and 1.6 gallons for solids. The 360° jet siphon and fully glazed trapway are meant to keep the bowl clean and reduce clogs, per the maker, and the MAP score of 1000 grams is the figure the listing gives for bulk waste removal in a single flush.

Gallons per flush, as listed
Some states and cities set their own flush-volume limits for new toilets, so check local code if you are remodeling. The listing names EPA and CEC certification but does not spell out which program, so confirm with the seller if you are applying for a water rebate.
Installation: rough-in, space and support
Before you order any tall toilet for seniors, check the rough-in. Rough-in is the distance from the finished wall (not the baseboard) to the center of the floor drain bolts. This toilet is built for a 12 inch rough-in, the most common size in US homes. Measure yours before ordering, because a 10 or 14 inch rough-in will not line up.
- Depth: at 29 inches front to back, an elongated bowl needs more clearance in front than a round one. Check that doors and vanities still clear.
- Height: the 36.5 inch tank top can sit close to a low window sill or shelf.
- Grab bars: many families pair a tall toilet with wall-mounted grab bars installed into studs or proper anchors.
- Who installs: a two-piece toilet is a common DIY job, but a licensed plumber is a smart call if the flange or floor needs repair.
