Elongated vs. Round toilet seat
Elongated and Round are the prevailing bidet seats today. The vertical length is the factor for the shape variations.
The elongated toilet seat measures 20 to 22 inches, and a round shape runs between 19 to 20 inches in vertical length.
There is an overlap in the size between the round and elongated toilet seats sometimes.
The size deviation depends on the manufacturers, who usually optimize the bidet seat length against the toilet bowls available in the market.
The horizontal dimension, the width of the bidet seat, is not a factor to determine shape variations.

The deviation between elongated vs. round toilet seats sometimes makes it hard to decide what to choose.
It could be an issue if the length of the bidet seat is longer than the toilet bowl you have.
However, a shorter length of the bidet seat against the existing toilet bowl could be workable. Below are the Living Star bidet seat dimensions of each model.
Can you visually see the difference between an elongated and a round toilet bowl?
Usually, yes. The elongated version is vertically longer than a round shape.
The shape of your toilet bowl is the core factor in choosing a bidet seat.
If your toilet bowl is close to a perfect round, you may need to check the width of the bidet seat against your toilet bowl.
Even if the manufacturer claims the bidet seat is for a round toilet bowl, you still need to check the length.
