What is a toilet-seat riser?

A foam pad that straps onto the toilet seat you already have. It adds 2 in or 3 in of height.

What is the difference between 2 in and 3 in?

Height only. Same strap-on foam, same zip cover, same fold. Blue or White.

Hook-and-loop straps around the existing seat, plus adhesive strips on the underside. No tools.

Is this the raised toilet seat in a hip-replacement packet?

Providence's hip handbook says use a raised toilet seat. This is foam strapped onto the seat you already have, not a rigid commode with arms. Follow your therapist.
