For a balanced starting point, I’d choose the Swiss Madison St. Tropez Comfort Height One-Piece Toilet: its elongated bowl, chair-height seat, and dual flush suit many everyday bathrooms. The Sublime II Round Toilet is a better fit when floor space is tight, while the Sublime Wall-Hung Bowl suits a renovation planned around an in-wall carrier. The main tradeoffs are fit and installation: rough-in dimensions, bowl shape, seat height, and wall-hung hardware can matter more than appearance. Finish choices also range from familiar glossy white to black options that may limit matching accessories. Read on for the full breakdown of all 14 Swiss Madison toilets and the needs each one serves.

Key Takeaways
- Rough-in fit separates several similar-looking options: the lineup includes 10-inch, 12-inch, and 14-inch models, so measuring before choosing can rule out a poor fit.
- St. Tropez offers the broadest set of configurations: buyers can compare standard, comfort-height, black-hardware, matte-black, glossy-black, and extended rough-in versions.
- Bowl shape changes the space tradeoff: the round Sublime II is aimed at compact bathrooms, while elongated models favor a roomier seating area.
- Wall-hung is a different installation decision, not just a different look: the Sublime wall-hung bowl calls for compatible in-wall support and planning beyond a standard floor-mounted replacement.
- Special finishes and shapes narrow flexibility: black, bisque, and square-bowl designs offer a more distinctive style, but glossy white models are easier to coordinate with common bathroom fixtures.

More Details on Our Top Picks
Chateau One-Piece Elongated Dual-Flush Toilet in Bisque 1.1/1.6 gpf
I’d choose the Chateau in glossy bisque when matching a warm-toned bathroom matters as much as flush flexibility. Its 1.1/1.6 GPF dual-flush system gives buyers a lower-volume option for lighter flushes, while the elongated bowl and soft-close, quick-release seat add everyday comfort and simpler cleaning. Compared with the white Swiss Madison Ivy, the Chateau has clearer listed flush volumes and a lighter stated weight, but it lacks the Ivy’s skirted exterior for wiping down the sides. Its standard-height bowl may also be less comfortable for taller users or anyone who prefers a higher seat. At 45 pounds, it is less cumbersome to handle than the heavier options here, though installation still calls for careful lifting.
Pros:- Dual-flush choices of 1.1 and 1.6 GPF
- Elongated bowl provides more seating room than a round bowl
- Quick-release, soft-close seat supports quieter use and easier seat removal
- Stated 45-pound weight is lower than several heavier one-piece options in this lineup
Cons:- Standard-height bowl may feel low to taller users or those who prefer comfort height
- Bisque finish can be harder to match than glossy white
- One-piece construction still requires careful handling during installation
Best for: Homeowners updating a bathroom with bisque fixtures who want an elongated bowl and two flush-volume choices.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need comfort height, a skirted exterior for easier side cleaning, or a glossy white finish.
- Model:SM-1T803BQ
- Rough-in:Standard 12 inches
- Flush options:1.1 / 1.6 GPF
- Bowl shape:Elongated
- Height:Standard, 15–17 inches
- Material:Non-porous, scratch-resistant porcelain
- Color:Glossy bisque
- Weight:45 pounds
- Warranty:1-year limited
Our verdict“Choose the Chateau if you need a bisque finish and want an elongated dual-flush toilet without the listed weight of the heavier models.”
Swiss Madison Ivy One-Piece Dual-Flush Toilet
The Ivy’s standout is its skirted one-piece profile, which avoids the exposed trapway contours that can collect dust and complicate routine wiping. Its elongated bowl, soft-close seat, and included wax ring and hardware kit make it a more complete package than the Chateau, which is listed with a simpler exterior rather than a skirted design. The Ivy’s flush information, however, is inconsistent: product content lists both 1.1/1.6 GPF and 0.8/1.28 GPF, so I would verify the exact configuration before choosing it. Warranty details also conflict between a one-year limited term and a limited lifetime statement. At 90 pounds, it is substantially heavier than the Chateau, making handling during installation more demanding.
Pros:- Skirted one-piece design simplifies wiping the toilet exterior
- Elongated bowl and soft-close seat support everyday comfort
- Wax ring and hardware kit are listed as included
- Dual-flush format provides a choice between flush modes
Cons:- Product information lists conflicting flush volumes
- Warranty information conflicts between one-year limited and limited lifetime terms
- Listed 90-pound weight makes installation handling more difficult than the Chateau
Best for: Buyers who prioritize a streamlined, skirted exterior and want the wax ring and installation hardware included.
Not ideal for: Shoppers who need confirmed flush-volume or warranty details before purchase, or who want a lighter toilet to handle during installation.
- Model:SM-1T112
- Rough-in:12 inches
- Flush volume:Product content lists 1.1/1.6 GPF and 0.8/1.28 GPF
- Bowl shape:Elongated
- Dimensions:27.5 × 14 × 28 inches
- Material:Ceramic
- Color:Glossy white
- Weight:90 pounds
- Included components:Toilet seat, wax ring, and hardware kit
Our verdict“Pick the Ivy for its skirted design and included installation parts only if you can confirm the flush specification and warranty for the unit you are buying.”
Swiss Madison Sublime II One-Piece Round Toilet, 10-Inch Rough-In, Dual Flush, Glossy White
The Sublime II is the clearest fit here for a bathroom with a 10-inch rough-in and limited front-to-back space. Its round bowl and listed 24-inch depth make it more compact than the elongated St. Tropez options, while the skirted trapway keeps the exterior visually streamlined. Buyers still get two flush choices, plus a soft-close, quick-release seat that can be removed for cleaning. The tradeoff is seating room: compared with the Chateau’s elongated bowl, the Sublime II’s round shape offers less space for users who value a roomier seat. Its standard height may also be less accessible for some people, and its 10-inch rough-in is not a substitute for a 12-inch setup—measure the existing plumbing before selecting it.
Pros:- 10-inch rough-in suits installations not matched by the 12-inch Chateau or Ivy
- Round bowl and 24-inch listed depth suit tighter bathroom layouts
- Dual-flush options are listed at 1.1 and 1.6 GPF
- Skirted trapway and removable quick-release seat help with cleaning
Cons:- Round bowl provides less seating room than the elongated Chateau and St. Tropez models
- 10-inch rough-in limits compatibility with existing plumbing
- Standard height may not suit users who prefer a higher seat
Best for: Owners of compact bathrooms with a verified 10-inch rough-in who prefer a round-bowl toilet with a skirted design.
Not ideal for: Buyers with a 12-inch rough-in, those who want an elongated bowl, or users seeking a taller seating height.
- Model:SM-1T277
- Rough-in:10 inches
- Flush type and volume:Dual flush, 1.1 / 1.6 GPF
- Bowl shape:Round
- Dimensions:24 × 14 × 28.75 inches
- Height:Standard
- Material and finish:Ceramic, glossy white
- Weight:89 pounds
- Seat features:Soft-close and quick-release
Our verdict“Choose the Sublime II when your bathroom requires a 10-inch rough-in and space matters more than an elongated bowl.”
Swiss Madison St. Tropez One-Piece Elongated Toilet, 10-Inch Rough-In, 1.28 GPF, Glossy White
Among these five, the St. Tropez is the 10-inch rough-in choice with an elongated bowl, pairing a roomier shape with a single 1.28 GPF flush. That makes it a different proposition from the round-bowl Sublime II: the St. Tropez favors seating space, while the Sublime II takes up less listed depth and offers two flush volumes. Its fully glazed skirted trapway and quick-release seat support easier cleaning, and 3-inch access holes are specified to aid installation access. The tradeoffs are substantial: at 108 pounds, it is the heaviest option among these five, and its standard-height design will not suit everyone. The 10-inch rough-in also narrows fit, so I’d verify the plumbing measurement before ordering.
Pros:- Elongated bowl offers more seating room than the Sublime II’s round bowl
- Single 1.28 GPF flush uses less water per flush than the listed 1.6 GPF full flushes on dual-flush models
- Fully glazed skirted trapway and quick-release seat support easier cleaning
- 3-inch access holes are specified to aid installation access
Cons:- 10-inch rough-in restricts fit with standard 12-inch plumbing layouts
- Single-flush design lacks the volume choice available on the Sublime II and Chateau
- Listed 108-pound weight makes handling and installation more demanding
Best for: Buyers with a confirmed 10-inch rough-in who want an elongated bowl and a single-flush design.
Not ideal for: Households seeking dual-flush volume choices, a comfort-height bowl, or a lighter toilet for easier installation.
- Model:SM-1T273
- Rough-in:10 inches
- Flush:Single flush, 1.28 GPF
- Bowl shape:Elongated
- Height:Standard, 15–17 inches
- Dimensions:27 × 15.15 × 31.2 inches
- Material and finish:Ceramic, glossy white
- Weight:108 pounds
- Seat:Plastic, soft-close, quick-release
Our verdict“Choose this St. Tropez if you need a 10-inch rough-in and favor an elongated, single-flush toilet over dual-flush flexibility.”
Swiss Madison St. Tropez One-Piece Elongated Toilet with Dual Flush and Black Hardware
I’d put this St. Tropez first for buyers who want comfort height and a visible black-hardware accent without giving up dual-flush control. Its 12-inch rough-in matches the listed setup on the Chateau and Ivy, while the 1.1/1.6 GPF options let the user choose between flush volumes. The elongated bowl also gives it a roomier shape than the round Sublime II. The main compromise is practical: at 108.5 pounds, it is the heaviest listed option here, so installation may call for extra help. Its plastic seat may feel less substantial than buyers expect from a ceramic one-piece toilet, and the white-and-black look is more specific than the Chateau’s bisque or the other glossy white finishes.
Pros:- Comfort-height design is intended to make sitting and standing easier
- Dual-flush options of 1.1 and 1.6 GPF offer flush-volume choice
- Elongated bowl provides more seating room than the round Sublime II
- Black hardware distinguishes its appearance from the plain glossy-white models
Cons:- Listed 108.5-pound weight makes installation handling demanding
- Plastic seat may feel less substantial than the ceramic toilet body
- White finish with black hardware may not suit bathrooms designed around all-white or bisque fixtures
Best for: Buyers with a 12-inch rough-in who want a higher seating position, dual-flush options, and black hardware as a bathroom design accent.
Not ideal for: Shoppers who need a lightweight toilet, prefer a non-plastic seat, or want a simple all-white or bisque appearance.
- Model:SM-1T254HB
- Rough-in:12 inches
- Flush type and volumes:Dual flush, 1.1 / 1.6 GPF
- Bowl shape:Elongated
- Dimensions:27.1 × 15.35 × 31.2 inches
- Material:Ceramic
- Color and hardware:White with black hardware
- Weight:108.5 pounds
- Installation:Floor mount
Our verdict“Choose this St. Tropez if comfort height and black hardware matter more to you than easy handling or a premium-feeling seat.”
Swiss Madison SM-WT449 Sublime Wall-Hung Toilet Bowl
I’d choose the Sublime Wall-Hung when clearing floor space and setting bowl height matter more than a straightforward installation. Its adjustable-height wall mount can accommodate different users, including ADA-oriented installations, while the dual flush offers 0.8- and 1.28-gallon options. The included soft-close, quick-release seat also makes routine cleaning easier. Compared with the floor-mounted Concorde, this bowl leaves more visible floor area and allows access beneath it, but it requires a compatible concealed carrier system. That carrier tank and actuator plate are sold separately, adding parts to source and installation planning. I’d also verify the warranty with the seller: the supplied details list both a one-year limited warranty and a limited lifetime warranty.
Pros:- Wall-mounted design keeps the floor beneath the bowl clear
- Adjustable installation height supports varied user needs
- Dual flush uses 0.8 or 1.28 gallons per flush
- Included soft-close seat releases quickly for cleaning
Cons:- Carrier tank and actuator plate are sold separately
- Requires a compatible in-wall carrier and more involved installation than the floor-mounted Concorde
- Warranty information is inconsistent in the supplied product details
Best for: Renovators planning a wall-mounted toilet who want adjustable bowl height, an accessible floor area, and low-volume flush options.
Not ideal for: Buyers replacing a standard floor-mounted toilet who want a simpler installation or do not want to source a separate carrier tank and actuator plate.
- Model:SM-WT449
- Material and finish:Porcelain, glossy white
- Bowl shape:Round
- Installation:Wall mount
- Dimensions:22 x 14.5 x 14.5 inches
- Flush:Dual flush, 0.8/1.28 gallons per flush
- Seat:Included plastic soft-close seat with quick release
- Carrier and actuator plate:Sold separately
Our verdict“Choose this bowl for an adjustable-height, space-saving wall installation if you are prepared to source the carrier system separately.”
Swiss Madison Concorde One-Piece Toilet, Glossy White
The Concorde suits buyers who want a floor-mounted, one-piece toilet with a more architectural look than the round Sublime II. Its comfort-height bowl and elongated shape provide a higher, roomier seat, while the skirted exterior reduces the exposed contours around the base that can collect dust. The dual-flush gravity system offers 0.8- and 1.28-gallon choices, and the quick-release, slow-close seat helps with cleaning and everyday use. Its square styling is the main tradeoff: it creates a crisp modern profile but may feel out of place in a traditional bathroom. Unlike the Sublime II’s standard-height round bowl, this design takes a more deliberate style and fit choice; I’d check the room layout and seat preference before committing.
Pros:- Comfort-height elongated bowl offers a higher, roomier seating position
- Dual-flush gravity system provides 0.8- and 1.28-gallon options
- Skirted exterior simplifies cleaning around the base
- Slow-close seat releases quickly for cleaning
Cons:- Square modern styling may not suit traditional bathrooms
- Floor-mounted profile does not free the floor beneath the toilet like the Sublime Wall-Hung
- Listed warranty is limited to one year
Best for: Homeowners updating a contemporary bathroom who want an elongated comfort-height toilet, an easy-to-clean skirted base, and dual-flush options.
Not ideal for: Buyers who prefer a traditional rounded silhouette, need a compact round bowl, or want a toilet with a warranty longer than the listed one year.
- Model:SM-1T106
- Type:One-piece toilet
- Material and finish:Ceramic, glossy white
- Bowl shape:Square
- Installation:Floor mounted
- Dimensions:26.05 x 14 x 29.25 inches (D x W x H)
- Flush:Dual-flush gravity, 0.8/1.28 gallons per flush
- Seat:Plastic, slow-close, quick-release
Our verdict“Pick the Concorde for a contemporary bathroom where comfort height and an elongated bowl matter more than a conventional rounded design.”
Swiss Madison Sublime II One-Piece Dual-Flush Round Toilet, 12-Inch Rough-In, Glossy White
I’d put the Sublime II 12-inch on the shortlist for bathrooms where a round bowl is a better fit than the elongated options. Its listed dimensions are 24 x 14 x 29 inches, and the standard-height, floor-mounted format is a familiar choice for a straightforward replacement with a 12-inch rough-in. The skirted trapway gives the exterior a cleaner profile than a more exposed base, and the quick-release, soft-close seat supports easier maintenance. The key compromise is flushing volume: its 1.1- and 1.6-gallon settings use more water per flush than the Concorde’s 0.8- and 1.28-gallon options. At 83.7 pounds, it may also take two people to position safely. I’d favor it for its compact bowl shape, not for the lowest listed flush volumes.
Pros:- Round bowl and compact listed dimensions suit tighter bathroom layouts
- Skirted, fully glazed trapway provides a smoother exterior for cleaning
- Dual-flush settings offer 1.1- and 1.6-gallon options
- Includes a soft-close quick-release seat, wax ring, and bolt kit
Cons:- Flush volumes are higher than the Concorde’s listed 0.8/1.28-gallon options
- Weight of 83.7 pounds can complicate handling and installation
- Standard height may not suit buyers who prefer a comfort-height bowl
Best for: Owners of smaller bathrooms with a 12-inch rough-in who prefer a round, standard-height bowl and want included installation hardware.
Not ideal for: Buyers seeking lower flush volumes, an elongated bowl, or a toilet that is easy for one person to handle during installation.
- Model:SM-1T257
- Rough-in:12 inches
- Material and finish:Ceramic, glossy white
- Bowl shape and height:Round, standard height
- Dimensions:24 x 14 x 29 inches
- Weight:83.7 pounds
- Flush:Dual flush, 1.1/1.6 gallons per flush
- Included components:Tank, bowl, seat, wax ring, bolt kit, and cover caps
Our verdict“Choose the Sublime II for a 12-inch rough-in and compact round-bowl fit, but skip it if minimizing flush volume is your priority.”
Swiss Madison St. Tropez Comfort Height One-Piece Elongated Toilet with Dual-Flush, White
The white St. Tropez is the stronger fit for buyers who want an elongated bowl and a dual-vortex flush in a conventional floor-mounted format. Its 1.1- and 1.6-gallon settings differ from the Concorde’s lower listed 0.8- and 1.28-gallon choices, so I’d weigh bowl shape and flush preference rather than assume these models use water alike. The elongated ceramic bowl offers more room than the round Sublime II, and the supplied description calls out a scratch-resistant, non-porous finish. The package includes installation hardware, which reduces the need to gather basic fitting components separately. Its biggest practical drawback is 109-pound weight: arranging help to move and position it is sensible. Confirm the comfort-height fit as well, since the supplied specifications do not state a bowl-height measurement.
Pros:- Elongated bowl provides more seating room than the round Sublime II
- Dual-vortex flush offers 1.1- and 1.6-gallon settings
- Scratch-resistant, non-porous ceramic finish is designed for routine bathroom use
- Includes seat and installation hardware
Cons:- At 109 pounds, moving and positioning it can be difficult
- Flush settings use more water than the Concorde’s listed 0.8/1.28-gallon choices
- Supplied specifications do not give a bowl-height measurement to confirm comfort-height fit
Best for: Buyers replacing a 12-inch rough-in toilet who prefer an elongated bowl, want dual-flush choices, and can arrange help for installation.
Not ideal for: People who need a lighter toilet to handle, want a round bowl for a tight bathroom, or prioritize the lower flush volumes listed for the Concorde.
- Model:SM-1T254
- Rough-in:12 inches
- Material and finish:Ceramic, glossy white
- Bowl shape:Elongated
- Dimensions:27 x 15.12 x 31.18 inches
- Weight:109 pounds
- Flush:Dual-vortex, 1.1/1.6 gallons per flush
- Included components:Seat, flush valve, fill valve, wax ring, bolt kit, cover caps, and manual
Our verdict“Choose this St. Tropez if an elongated bowl and included hardware matter more to you than lighter installation or lower flush volumes.”
Swiss Madison St. Tropez One-Piece Elongated Toilet, Dual Flush, Matte Black
The matte-black St. Tropez is for buyers who want the toilet itself to make a strong visual statement, rather than blend into a white bathroom. It keeps the elongated bowl and 1.1/1.6-gallon dual flush of the white St. Tropez SM-1T254, along with a skirted, fully glazed trapway and an included soft-close, quick-release seat. Those shared practical features make the finish the main reason to choose this version. Compared with the Concorde, it offers a more dramatic color and a different flush-volume range, but lacks the Concorde’s listed comfort-height specification. At 110 pounds, it is also a demanding installation. I’d check that the matte finish suits the rest of the fixtures and that replacement parts and cleaning products are appropriate for the finish.
Pros:- Matte-black finish creates a distinctive alternative to the white St. Tropez
- Elongated bowl provides more seating room than a round-bowl option
- Dual flush offers 1.1- and 1.6-gallon settings
- Skirted trapway and quick-release soft-close seat support easier cleaning
Cons:- At 110 pounds, installation and positioning can be difficult
- Standard-height design may not suit buyers looking for a taller toilet
- Matte-black finish is a specific style choice that may be harder to coordinate than glossy white
Best for: Design-focused renovators coordinating a matte-black bathroom who want an elongated one-piece toilet with dual-flush operation.
Not ideal for: Buyers seeking a white fixture, a listed comfort-height bowl, lower flush volumes, or an easier toilet to lift and install.
- Model:SM-1T254MB
- Material and finish:Ceramic, matte black
- Rough-in:12 inches
- Bowl shape:Elongated
- Dimensions:27 x 15.15 x 31.5 inches
- Weight:110 pounds
- Flush:Dual flush, 1.1/1.6 gallons per flush
- Seat:Plastic, soft-close, quick-release
Our verdict“Pick the matte-black St. Tropez when finish coordination is a priority and you accept its heavy build and standard-height design.”
Swiss Madison St. Tropez One-Piece Elongated Toilet, Glossy Black, Dual Flush
The glossy black St. Tropez is the distinctive finish pick here: it keeps the elongated bowl and skirted profile of the white 14-inch St. Tropez, but uses a 12-inch rough-in and standard-height seat. Its dual flush offers 1.1 and 1.6 gallons per flush, giving you a lower-volume option while retaining a larger flush setting. The fully glazed skirted trapway creates a smoother exterior to wipe than an exposed trapway, and the non-porous ceramic is described as scratch-resistant. The tradeoff is fit and handling: at 105 pounds, installation may call for help, and standard height may not suit buyers who prefer a taller seat. Choose it for a coordinated dark bathroom, not as a water-saving upgrade over the Chateau, which uses less water per flush.
Pros:- Glossy black ceramic offers a distinctive alternative to the roundup’s white finishes.
- Elongated bowl provides more room than a round-bowl design.
- Dual flush provides 1.1 and 1.6 gpf options.
- Skirted, fully glazed trapway presents a smooth surface for cleaning.
Cons:- At 105 pounds, it may be difficult for one person to position during installation.
- Standard-height design may feel low to buyers who prefer a taller seat.
- The 1.1/1.6 gpf flush options use more water per flush than the Chateau’s 0.8/1.28 gpf.
Best for: Homeowners designing a dark or high-contrast bathroom who want an elongated, one-piece toilet with a 12-inch rough-in.
Not ideal for: Buyers seeking a higher seat, a lighter toilet to install, or lower flush volumes than 1.1/1.6 gpf; the Chateau uses 0.8/1.28 gpf.
- Model:SM-1T254GB
- Finish:Glossy black
- Bowl shape:Elongated
- Flush:Dual flush, 1.1/1.6 gpf
- Rough-in:12 inches
- Dimensions:27 × 15.15 × 31.5 inches (D × W × H)
- Height:Standard, 15–17 inches
- Weight:105 pounds
- Installation:Floor-mounted
Our verdict“Pick this St. Tropez if a glossy black finish and 12-inch rough-in matter more to you than a taller seat or the Chateau’s lower flush volumes.”
Swiss Madison Chateau Elongated One-Piece Toilet with Dual Flush
The Chateau stands apart in this group for its 0.8/1.28 gpf dual flush, lower-volume options than the St. Tropez and Concorde models listed here. The described WaterSense flushing-guideline compliance adds context for buyers prioritizing water use, while the elongated bowl keeps the design more spacious than a round-bowl toilet. A soft-closing, quick-release seat makes everyday use quieter and gives you an easier way to remove the seat for cleaning. Compared with the 14-inch St. Tropez, this Chateau has a shorter listed depth, but its dimensions alone do not confirm rough-in compatibility; check the installation requirements before ordering. It weighs 89 pounds, less than the other three picks in this batch, though that is still a substantial fixture. The main compromise is its one-year limited warranty.
Pros:- 0.8/1.28 gpf dual-flush options use less water per flush than the other toilets in this batch.
- Soft-closing seat reduces lid noise.
- Quick-release seat can be removed for easier cleaning.
- At 89 pounds, it is lighter than the other three batch picks.
Cons:- One-year limited warranty is short compared with buyers seeking longer coverage.
- The provided specifications do not list a rough-in measurement, so fit needs confirmation.
- Plastic seat may be less appealing to buyers seeking a different seat material.
Best for: Water-conscious households looking for an elongated one-piece toilet with a quick-release seat and lower-volume flush choices.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need a specified nonstandard rough-in, a longer warranty, or a finish other than glossy white.
- Model:SM-1T803
- Type:One-piece toilet
- Finish:Glossy white
- Bowl shape:Elongated
- Flush:Dual flush, 0.8/1.28 gpf
- Seat:Plastic, soft-closing, quick-release
- Dimensions:23.5 × 16.5 × 27 inches
- Weight:89 pounds
- Warranty:1-year limited
Our verdict“Choose the Chateau if lower flush volumes and an easy-to-remove seat outweigh the need for a specified rough-in or longer warranty.”
Swiss Madison Concorde One-Piece Square Toilet, Dual Flush, 1.1/1.6 GPF, 10-Inch Rough-In
The Concorde is the fit-specific choice in this set: its 10-inch rough-in suits installations that cannot take the 12-inch black St. Tropez or the 14-inch white St. Tropez. Its square bowl also gives it a sharper, more geometric look than those elongated models, so it makes the most sense when both bathroom style and existing plumbing point in this direction. A skirted trapway keeps the exterior streamlined, and the included seat has soft-close and quick-release features for quieter use and easier seat removal. Its 1.1/1.6 gpf flush rates match the black St. Tropez rather than the lower-volume Chateau. The cost of this particular fit is limited flexibility: the 10-inch rough-in must match, the square bowl will not suit everyone, and its 103-pound ceramic body can complicate installation.
Pros:- 10-inch rough-in serves installations that do not match the St. Tropez models in this batch.
- Square bowl offers a geometric alternative to the elongated options.
- Skirted trapway gives the exterior a smooth, streamlined profile.
- Included seat has soft-close and quick-release features.
Cons:- Requires a 10-inch rough-in, limiting compatibility with other plumbing layouts.
- Square bowl may be less appealing to buyers who prefer an elongated shape.
- At 103 pounds, it may be difficult to handle during installation.
Best for: Renovators replacing a toilet in a confirmed 10-inch rough-in who prefer a square bowl and streamlined exterior.
Not ideal for: Buyers with a 12- or 14-inch rough-in, those who prefer an elongated bowl, or anyone prioritizing the lower flush volumes of the Chateau.
- Model:SM-1T278
- Type:One-piece, floor-mounted
- Finish:Glossy white
- Bowl shape:Square
- Flush:Dual flush, 1.1/1.6 gpf
- Rough-in:10 inches
- Dimensions:27.15 × 14.75 × 29.15 inches
- Weight:103 pounds
- Seat:Plastic, soft-close, quick-release
Our verdict“Choose the Concorde when your rough-in measures 10 inches and you want a square bowl; otherwise, the elongated St. Tropez models offer a different fit and shape.”
Swiss Madison St. Tropez One-Piece Elongated Toilet, 14-Inch Rough-In, Dual Flush, Glossy White
This 14-inch rough-in St. Tropez fills a specific fit need that the black St. Tropez and the 10-inch Concorde do not: it is made for a 14-inch rough-in. The elongated bowl, glossy white ceramic, and skirted trapway give it the familiar St. Tropez look, while its 1.1/1.6 gpf dual flush matches the black version rather than the Chateau’s lower-volume 0.8/1.28 gpf. Here, the practical tradeoff is less about appearance than plumbing and installation: confirm the rough-in before choosing, since this model is not a general substitute for a 12-inch toilet. At 108.3 pounds, it is the heaviest of these four options. Its soft-close, quick-release seat adds convenience, though buyers should weigh that against the heavy body and specialized fit.
Pros:- 14-inch rough-in serves a specific plumbing layout not matched by the other batch picks.
- Elongated bowl offers more room than a square or round bowl.
- Skirted trapway gives the exterior a smooth surface for cleaning.
- Soft-close, quick-release seat supports quieter use and easier seat removal.
Cons:- Requires a 14-inch rough-in, so compatibility must be checked before purchase.
- At 108.3 pounds, it is the heaviest toilet in this batch and may be difficult to install.
- Its 1.1/1.6 gpf flush volumes are higher than the Chateau’s 0.8/1.28 gpf.
Best for: Homeowners with a measured 14-inch rough-in who want a white, elongated one-piece toilet with a skirted trapway.
Not ideal for: Buyers with a standard 12-inch or 10-inch rough-in, those seeking lower flush volumes than 1.1/1.6 gpf, or shoppers who need a lighter fixture to handle.

Our verdict“Pick this white St. Tropez only when your bathroom has a confirmed 14-inch rough-in and you want its elongated shape and soft-close seat.”
How We Picked
I compared the 14 listed models on the factors that most often determine whether a toilet works in a real bathroom: rough-in compatibility, bowl shape, seat height, flush configuration, installation type, and finish. I gave more weight to practical fit and everyday usability than to styling alone. A model with a less common dimension or wall-mounted installation can be a strong choice, but only for buyers whose room and project are ready for it.
The ranking favors configurations that can suit a wider range of households and replacement projects, then gives distinct positions to compact, style-led, and specialized models. The St. Tropez comfort-height model ranks highly for its combination of elongated seating and dual flush; the Sublime II round models stand out for compact layouts, with rough-in size deciding between them. Black finishes, bisque, square bowls, and wall-hung construction rank lower for general use because they serve more specific design or installation needs. I treat the two Concorde and Chateau options as alternatives for buyers comparing shape, color, or flush details, rather than assuming those features make one universally better.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Swiss Madison Toilet
Before choosing a Swiss Madison toilet, I’d settle the bathroom’s physical constraints and installation plan first. The product names can sound similar, but rough-in size, bowl projection, mounting style, and finish can lead to very different projects. These checks help avoid choosing a model that looks right online but does not suit the room or the people using it.
Measure Rough-In Before Comparing Styles
Rough-in is the distance from the finished wall behind the toilet to the center of the floor drain, not the distance to the baseboard. This roundup includes 10-inch, 12-inch, and 14-inch rough-in models, and those dimensions are not interchangeable without plumbing changes. Measure from the finished wall and account for trim that projects into the room. If the measurement is unusual or the floor has been remodeled, have a plumber verify it before ordering. A common mistake is selecting a toilet by appearance first and discovering that the outlet position does not match the existing drain. When replacement simplicity matters, prioritize a confirmed fit over a preferred finish or bowl shape.
Choose Bowl Shape Around Room Clearance
Round bowls generally take up less front-to-back space, making them useful in small powder rooms or bathrooms with a door close to the toilet. Elongated bowls offer a roomier seating area but may reduce clearance to a door, vanity, or tub. Check the full projected length in the manufacturer’s dimensions rather than relying on the word “compact.” Also confirm the required clearances set by local code and the layout of nearby fixtures. A frequent error is measuring only the bowl footprint while forgetting handle, door-swing, or cleaning access. If two people share the bathroom, include comfort and circulation in the decision rather than treating the smallest footprint as an automatic win.
Treat Seat Height as a Household Fit
Comfort-height seating can make sitting down and standing up easier for taller adults or people with limited mobility, while a lower seat may work better for children or users who prefer a more traditional height. Product descriptions can use different labels for similar height categories, so compare the stated seat height and check whether the measurement includes the seat. Do not assume a toilet’s bowl height is the same as its finished seat height. In a shared household, consider who uses the toilet most and whether a step stool or other support already plays a role. The goal is a comfortable daily fit, not simply choosing the tallest available model.
Compare Flush Options With Your Maintenance Priorities
Dual-flush controls give users a choice between flush volumes, which can help reduce water use when the lower-volume setting suits the task. That flexibility depends on household habits: if users routinely choose the larger flush, the practical benefit may be smaller. Check the exact flush figures for the specific model, since the lineup includes different stated configurations and not every name provides identical specifications. Ask whether replacement parts for the flush mechanism are readily available before committing to a less familiar model. Keep the control style simple enough for everyone in the home to use correctly. For any toilet, follow the maker’s cleaning guidance and avoid products that could damage the finish or internal components.
Account for Installation Type and Access
One-piece floor-mounted toilets are the more direct path for many replacements, though their weight and shape can make handling awkward. A wall-hung toilet requires a compatible carrier inside the wall, appropriate structural support, and access planning for future service. It can free floor space and simplify cleaning beneath the bowl, but it is not a like-for-like swap for a standard floor outlet. Before choosing wall-hung, confirm the carrier, plumbing, wall depth, and installer’s scope. For a one-piece model, check whether the delivery route has tight turns and whether the bathroom floor can support the installation process. Including labor and project changes in the decision can prevent a style-led choice from becoming a larger renovation than expected.
Pick a Finish With Replacement and Coordination in Mind
Glossy white is the easiest finish to coordinate with common sinks, tubs, and replacement accessories, while black and bisque options make a stronger design statement. A distinctive finish can be harder to match if nearby fixtures are a slightly different shade or sheen. Compare the toilet’s color with physical samples where possible, especially in bathrooms with mixed lighting. Also check the availability of matching seats and repair parts rather than assuming every accessory comes in the same finish. Matte and glossy black are not interchangeable visually, so verify which surface the listing describes. Choose a special finish when it supports the whole room plan, not just because it looks striking in a product image.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose between the 10-inch, 12-inch, and 14-inch rough-in Swiss Madison toilets?
Measure from the finished wall to the center of the floor drain, then compare that measurement with the model’s specified rough-in. Do not measure from the baseboard if it sits forward of the wall, and do not assume a toilet designed for one rough-in will fit another without changes. The 10-inch models may suit bathrooms built for a shorter setback, while the 12-inch option is a common layout and the 14-inch model serves a longer distance. If the measurement falls between sizes or the drain is difficult to locate, ask a plumber to check it before buying. That confirmation can matter more than choosing between two otherwise similar St. Tropez styles.
Is a dual-flush toilet a good choice for a household with children or guests?
It can be, but the value depends on whether everyone understands and uses the two controls as intended. A clear, simple control layout is easier for guests and children than an unfamiliar mechanism with unclear symbols. If users default to the higher-volume flush, the water-saving benefit may be limited. Consider who will maintain the toilet and whether replacement flush components are easy to source. If consistent operation matters more than choosing flush volume, compare the available single-flush configuration with the dual-flush models before deciding.
Should I choose the round Sublime II or an elongated Swiss Madison toilet?
Start with the available floor clearance and the people who use the bathroom. The round Sublime II is the more space-conscious direction, while an elongated model gives a longer seating area and can feel roomier. Check the full fixture projection against the door swing and nearby vanity rather than judging by bowl shape alone. Also compare the rough-in: the listed Sublime II choices include different rough-in sizes, so the compact bowl does not settle the fit question by itself. If the room has ample clearance and comfort is the priority, an elongated model may be the better match.
Can I replace a floor-mounted toilet with the Swiss Madison Sublime wall-hung bowl?
Usually, not as a simple toilet swap. A wall-hung bowl needs a compatible in-wall carrier, structural support, and plumbing arranged for that installation, so the project may require opening or rebuilding part of the wall. The carrier and service access should be confirmed before selecting the bowl. Ask an installer to review wall depth, drain location, and the full scope of work, including finishing. If you want a straightforward replacement with minimal bathroom changes, a floor-mounted one-piece model is generally the more direct route.
Are Swiss Madison’s black or bisque toilets harder to coordinate than glossy white?
They can be, because neighboring fixtures and accessories may use slightly different shades or surface finishes. Glossy white is usually easier to pair with standard tubs, sinks, and replacement parts, while black and bisque are more dependent on the room’s existing palette. Before choosing a special finish, compare it with the sink, tub, flooring, and hardware under the bathroom’s lighting. Check whether a compatible seat and service parts are available in the same color. If you may remodel later or want the broadest matching options, white is the safer choice.
Conclusion
For most households, I’d start with the St. Tropez Comfort Height One-Piece as the best overall pick because it combines an elongated bowl, dual flush, and a more accessible seating height. For a practical value-oriented choice, compare the Sublime II Round models and select the one whose rough-in matches your bathroom; their compact shape suits tighter rooms without requiring a wall-hung installation. Beginners replacing a conventional floor toilet should favor a glossy-white, floor-mounted model with a confirmed rough-in and familiar layout. For a premium design-led bathroom, the St. Tropez black-finish options offer a distinctive look, while the Sublime wall-hung bowl is best for a planned renovation with carrier support. Choose the 14-inch St. Tropez for that specific rough-in, the comfort-height model for easier seating, and the round bowl when floor space is the constraint; measure first, then choose the style.
