We get it—you probably never thought you’d spend this much time thinking about a toilet. But the truth is, if you’re already investing in your bathroom, choosing one of the best Kohler toilets is a game-changer.
Whether you’re designing a spa-like retreat, upgrading a powder room, or just replacing an old fixture with something actually comfortable to sit on, Kohler has options that bring both performance and style. And because this is your bathroom throne we’re talking about, we tested and reviewed our top Kohler picks so you don’t have to second guess your flush.
Let’s find the one that suits your space—and your seat.
Best for Classic Bathrooms: KOHLER Memoirs Stately Comfort Height Toilet
Ever walked into a bathroom that felt like it belonged in a historic home magazine spread? That’s the energy the Kohler Memoirs gives off.
With elegant molding details on the tank and a sculpted skirt at the base, this toilet feels more like a fine piece of furniture than a bathroom fixture. It’s refined, traditional, and blends seamlessly into bathrooms with classic design elements—think pedestal sinks, paneling, and antique brass accents.
But don’t let the vintage look fool you—it flushes like a champ. Kohler’s canister flush valve gives you a powerful, water-saving flush that rarely needs a second round. And because the base is designed to minimize hard-to-clean nooks and crannies, keeping it spotless is actually doable.
We also love the Comfort Height® seating—it’s chair-level, so getting up and down is way easier on the knees.
If you want a timeless look without sacrificing performance, this is the toilet your traditional bathroom deserves.
Why We Love It
– Elegant molding details for a refined look
– Comfort-height seating
– Easy-to-clean base
– Powerful flush, no plunger needed
Best for Comfort Seekers: KOHLER San Souci Comfort Height Toilet
Let’s be honest: sometimes we spend a little more time on the toilet than we planned. And if that’s you? The San Souci is about to become your new favorite seat in the house.
This one-piece model has a compact elongated bowl (read: more legroom without taking up more floor space) and an ultra-comfy chair-height seat. Whether you’re recovering from leg day or just want a more ergonomic experience, this toilet makes every trip feel like less of a chore.
And style? It’s got that too. The San Souci has a sleek, contemporary silhouette that instantly modernizes your space without going full spaceship. It’s subtle, smart, and surprisingly chic.
This is the toilet for people who care about comfort and aren’t afraid to admit it.
Why We Love It
– Modern one-piece design
– Chair-height for easier sitting and standing
– Compact footprint with maximum comfort
– Comes with Kohler’s Grip-Tight seat—no more sliding around
Best for Small Bathrooms: KOHLER Adair Comfort Height Toilet

This one-piece beauty has a slim tank, organic curves, and a design inspired by the windswept rock formations of Sedona, Arizona (yeah, it’s that cool). It’s compact, efficient, and surprisingly luxurious for its size. And like the others on this list, it has an elongated bowl for comfort plus Comfort Height® seating for accessibility.
At just 1.28 gallons per flush, it’s water-efficient too—so you’re saving space and resources.
If your powder room is short on space but big on style goals, the Adair is your go-to.
Why We Love It
