The short answer to this question is – not really. The actual seat of an electronic bidet toilet seat is only 1/2 inch - 1 inch thicker than a regular toilet seat.

The most common area of confusion for bidet buyers is height specifications. The bidet toilet seat dimensions given by the seller may have a listed height between 4 inches - 6 inches. Does this mean the user will be sitting 4"-6" higher on the toilet? Not at all. The height specification is actually measured at the highest point of the entire electronic bidet unit, which is located at the very rear of the unit. The rear of the unit houses the electronic bidet's wiring, circuit boards, mechanical components, etc. This is where most of the bulk of the electronic bidet is located. However, the rear is not where the user actually sits when using a bidet. The user only sits on the bidet's actual seat, and the seat itself is only slightly thicker than a regular toilet seat.
