Defining luxury is always difficult. One man’s luxury is another man’s necessity, but I have discovered the true meaning of the word.

Not only that, but this is the secret to long-lasting happiness, life, the universe and everything. Who knew it could be something as simple as…….A warm butt.

And no, I don’t mean the sort of butt you keep full of water to water the garden with, I mean the sort of butt we all have attached.

This company, Toto, make the ultimate luxury accessory – a toilet seat. And not just any old toilet seat, this one actually does all the work for you.

And they have a pretty spectacular website devoted entirely to this toilet seat. Worth a visit just to see how good a website can be. Their top-of-the-range S400 model sells for around $1,500 I believe, which is considerably less expensive than the swarovski-studded toilet we featured a little while back.

I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but I nearly pissed myself laughing. And when you have stopped, you will realise they are right - Laughter really is the best medicine.
