Swiss Madison St. Tropez Comfort Height One-Piece Elongated Toilet, Dual-Flush 1.1/1.6 GPF Review (2026)

Comfort height for tall users

This toilet is built to comfort height standards, with the bowl rim sitting at roughly 16.5 inches from the floor and an overall height of about 31 and 3/16 inches, taller than a standard height toilet that typically sits a few inches lower. That extra height reduces how far a tall user has to bend to sit down and makes standing back up easier, similar to the seat height of a standard dining chair. Comfort height, sometimes called chair height, has become a common standard in modern toilets, but it specifically benefits taller users and anyone with knee or hip discomfort more than it benefits shorter users, who may actually find a comfort height toilet less convenient.

Dual flush and rough-in

The toilet uses a Vortex dual flush system offering a 1.1 gallon per flush option for liquid waste and a 1.6 gallon per flush option for solid waste, letting users choose the lighter flush most of the time to save water. It is built around a 12 inch rough-in, the standard distance used in most North American bathrooms, which should make it a straightforward swap in a typical existing installation without needing to modify the floor plumbing. The elongated bowl shape adds extra sitting room compared with a round front bowl, another detail that benefits larger and taller users specifically, since round bowls are generally the more space constrained, lower cost option.

One piece design and cleaning

As a one piece toilet, the tank and bowl are fused into a single ceramic unit rather than bolted together as separate pieces, which removes the seam where the tank meets the bowl on a two piece toilet. That seam is a common spot for grime and hard water buildup to collect on two piece models, so a one piece design is generally easier to keep clean with less scrubbing in hard to reach corners. The toilet also uses a skirted trapway, a smooth concealed design over the visible trapway curves found on many standard toilets, adding another surface that is easier to wipe down rather than one with more exposed nooks.

Materials, seat, and warranty

The toilet is built from non-porous ceramic, a durable, scratch resistant material standard for quality toilets that resists staining better than porous materials over years of use. It ships with a soft close seat, avoiding the loud slam of a standard hinged seat and reducing wear on the hinges over time. Swiss Madison backs the toilet with a 3 year warranty once the product is registered with the manufacturer, giving some protection against manufacturing defects in the years after installation. It is available in a range of finishes including glossy white, glossy black, and several matte options, giving some flexibility to match different bathroom color schemes.

Who should buy this toilet

This toilet suits tall users or anyone who wants a comfort height, elongated bowl for easier sitting and standing, along with a sleek, modern one piece look that is easier to keep clean than a two piece toilet. The dual flush system is a genuine water saving feature for households that want to cut down on water use without sacrificing flush power when needed. Buyers who prefer a well known, widely available brand for parts and service, such as Kohler or TOTO, should weigh that against Swiss Madison's more limited presence in local hardware stores, since replacement parts and service support may be easier to find locally for those bigger names than for this toilet.
