Ultra Nova Bidet Seat Review: Is This the Most Comfortable Luxury Bidet Seat Money Can Buy?

There’s a certain kind of bathroom upgrade that sounds excessive until you try it — and then you find yourself genuinely annoyed at every toilet that doesn’t have one. The Ultra Nova bidet seat from Nova Bidet is that kind of upgrade.

I’ve spent serious time on this thing (occupational hazard, I assure you), and I went in with high expectations given its near-$1,900 price tag. Spoiler: it mostly earns it. But “mostly” is doing some work in that sentence, and I’ll get into exactly where before you pull out your card.

Quick Verdict

Key Points	Verdict
Best for:	Anyone who wants the slimmest, most spa-like bidet experience on the market and won’t settle for bulky or basic
Not ideal for:	Households with small children, or buyers who want a deodorizer or more than 3 adjustment levels per setting
Aiden’s Rating:	8.5 / 10

Quick Pros:

• Thinnest profile of any bidet seat on the market (3.66 inches)
• Best-in-class enema wash — genuinely impressive
• Hot/cold massage wash is unexpectedly addictive
• RF remote works through walls, towels, and small bathrooms without line-of-sight issues

Quick Cons:

• Premium price puts it well above most competitors
• No built-in deodorizer (surprising at this price point)
• Seat sensor can be finicky for younger or smaller users

Before diving into my testing experience, here's a quick look at its key features.

Key Features — What the Ultra Nova Claims to Offer

Ultra-Slim, Lipless Design

At just 3.66 inches tall at the rear, the Ultra Nova holds the title of the slimmest bidet seat currently on the market. This isn’t just a vanity stat — a lower profile means a more natural sitting position, more usable space on the seat itself, and a toilet that doesn’t look like it grew a tumor overnight. The lipless lid design means nothing digs into your lower back when you lean, and the concealed swivel water inlet keeps things looking clean and intentional rather than clinical.

Ceramic Instant-Type Variable Frequency Inverter Heating

Translation: unlimited warm water with no tank to drain. The system heats water on demand using ceramic elements, delivering a continuous supply at your chosen temperature (86°F–102°F) for as long as your wash runs. No “starts warm, goes cold in 30 seconds” moment that cheaper bidets are famous for.

Silver Nano Antibacterial System + Self-Cleaning Nozzle

The seat is built from anion-type nano antibacterial polypropylene — a mouthful that means microbial growth has a much harder time taking hold in the material itself. Internally, silver nano sterilization inhibits bacteria in the water lines, and the nozzle runs a self-cleaning cycle precisely when you hit the wash button — not randomly throughout the day, which keeps things discreet around guests.

Air Bubble Induction Pump

This is the quiet hero of the feature list. The pump blends micro air bubbles into the spray, which softens the feel significantly without reducing cleaning effectiveness. It’s the difference between a sharp, pressurized jet and a gentler, more saturating stream — noticeably more comfortable, especially for sensitive users.

RF Radio Frequency Remote + Side Controls

Most bidet remotes use infrared, which means you need line-of-sight to operate them — a real problem in tight or oddly-arranged bathrooms. The Ultra Nova uses radio frequency, meaning the signal travels through walls, towels, and your bathroom door without issue. The remote itself is brushed stainless steel, not the usual cheap plastic wafer. As a backup, there’s a full side-control knob built into the seat for remote-free operation.

My Testing Experience — What I Actually Found | Ultra Nova Bidet Seat Review

Comfort That Puts Every Other Seat to Shame

Let me start with the thing that surprised me most: how comfortable this seat is to actually sit on. I don’t say that lightly — I’ve sat on a lot of bidet seats for this job, and most of them are serviceable. The Ultra Nova is in a different category.

The combination of the ultra-low profile and the D-shaped front creates an unusually large sittable area. You can sit far back, which naturally aligns everything better and reduces the “perching” sensation that plagues bulkier seats. There are no creaks, no flex, no plasticky complaints when you shift your weight — this is constructed from flexible, durable polypropylene that feels more like high-end furniture than bathroom hardware. The sittable lid (rated to 400 lbs with auto-open disabled, 450 lbs for the seat itself) doesn’t have the annoying lip that digs into your lower back, which is a surprisingly common design failure at this price point.

The Wash: Genuinely Impressive, Especially the Enema Function

The standard rear wash hits a confident medium pressure right out of the gate — not tentative, not overwhelming. The oscillating mode adds meaningful coverage. But the feature I keep coming back to is the enema wash.

I was skeptical about this one. Most bidets that advertise an enema wash deliver something underwhelming — too weak to be useful, too aggressive to be comfortable. The Ultra Nova’s is the best I’ve used, full stop. It threads the needle between precision and comfort in a way that the Bio Bidet BB-2000 — which also has a well-regarded enema function — can’t quite match. Users dealing with conditions like IBS, constipation, or post-surgical recovery will find this genuinely therapeutic.

The hot/cold massage wash — which alternates water temperature to create a pulsating thermal massage — was the feature I expected to dismiss and ended up actually using. It sounds gimmicky. It’s not. It’s particularly effective for sore or inflamed tissue, and the alternating temperature creates a sensation that a standard spray just doesn’t replicate. I was initially skeptical alongside the team that reviewed this, but they came back raving about it, and I understand why now.

The Remote Deserves Its Own Paragraph

RF remotes are rare in this category, and after using them, it’s hard to go back. The stainless steel build feels premium in hand — it has actual weight to it, not the plastic-wafer feel of cheaper remotes. The button layout is deliberately limited (only on the top and front faces) to prevent accidental activations, which sounds like a small thing until you’ve accidentally triggered a bidet from across the room at 2am.

The two programmable user presets are well-implemented. Configure your preferred pressure, temperature, and nozzle position once, press your preset button, and you’re done. Households with multiple users will appreciate this more than they expect to.

---

Auto Open/Close That Actually Works

The lid opens as you approach and closes after you leave — standard on premium bidets, but the Ultra Nova’s implementation is notably quiet and reliable. It only beeps when directly interacted with (entering the room, sitting, pressing a wash button), which means no random mechanical noises waking up the household at midnight. The auto-open can also be fully disabled for households where a lid that moves on its own might unsettle guests.

---

The Seat Sensor: Fine for Adults, Occasionally Fussy for Kids

The seat-occupied sensor sits on the front-left side. For most adults, this is a non-issue — you sit down, it activates, everything works. For smaller children (roughly under 8), the sensor can occasionally deactivate mid-wash if the child shifts. Some families have no issue with this at all; others run into it. It’s worth knowing before you commit if young children are a primary user group.

---

Installation: Straightforward, With One Minor Asterisk

The Ultra Nova is designed for DIY installation — Nova Bidet estimates around 30 minutes, which tracks with reality for most users. The mounting bracket goes on clean, the water connections are standard. Where it gets slightly less than seamless: some users find the seat a little firm to snap onto the mounting plate the first time. It’s not a dealbreaker and it clicks in properly once you get the hang of the alignment — but it’s worth watching the install video beforehand rather than winging it.

How It Compares — Ultra Nova vs. Bio Bidet BB-2000 Bliss

The Bio Bidet BB-2000 Bliss is the obvious comparison here. It runs around $699 on Amazon — roughly a third of the Ultra Nova’s list price — and carries the title of Forbes’ Best Bidet Overall for 2025. It’s a genuinely excellent seat.

Where the BB-2000 pulls ahead: it has a built-in deodorizer that the Ultra Nova simply doesn’t offer, its remote has an LCD screen with clear readouts, and it’s available in both round and elongated configurations. For users prioritising raw spray pressure, the BB-2000’s internal pump generates a noticeably powerful stream that some users actively prefer.

Where the Ultra Nova wins decisively: design, comfort, and wash refinement. The Ultra Nova’s profile is meaningfully slimmer, its hot/cold massage wash is genuinely unique, its enema function outperforms the BB-2000’s, and the RF stainless steel remote is in a different quality league entirely. The auto-open lid and air bubble induction pump are also features the BB-2000 doesn’t offer.

Aiden’s call: If budget is a consideration, the BB-2000 is excellent value and not a compromise. If you want the most refined, comfortable, feature-complete luxury bidet experience available — and the price doesn’t make you wince — the Ultra Nova is the better seat.

The Real Cons — What I Didn’t Like

No deodorizer. At nearly $1,900, the absence of a built-in deodorizer is a noticeable omission. The BB-2000 has one. The TOTO S7A has one. The Ultra Nova doesn’t, and there’s no workaround baked in. For some users this is irrelevant; for others it’s a dealbreaker.

Only three adjustment levels per setting. Water pressure, seat temperature, nozzle position, water temperature, air dryer — all max out at three increments. At this price tier, competitors like the TOTO S7A offer five. It’s not a dealbreaker in daily use, but if you’re highly particular about fine-tuning your settings, you may bump against the ceiling.

The seat sensor needs an awareness adjustment for smaller users. Covered above — not a flaw for most adults, but a relevant detail for households with young children as primary users.

Price. The list price of $1,856 is aggressive. The Ultra Nova+ with auto-flush pushes this further. It’s priced as a luxury item and delivers as one — but the sticker shock is real, and worth factoring against the BB-2000 at less than half the price.

Who Should Buy This — And Who Shouldn’t

Buy it if: You want the best-looking, most comfortable bidet seat currently on the market and you’re not treating this as an appliance purchase — you’re treating it as a bathroom upgrade. If you have IBS, post-surgical recovery needs, or simply want the therapeutic benefits of the enema and hot/cold massage functions, the Ultra Nova handles these better than anything else I’ve tested. Anyone remodelling a bathroom who wants a seat that looks like it belongs in a high-end hotel will also be very happy here.

Skip it if: You have children under 8 as a primary user — the seat sensor issue is real enough to be frustrating. Also skip it if you’re expecting a deodorizer at this price (valid frustration). And if your primary criteria is raw spray pressure above all else, the Bio Bidet BB-2000 at less than half the price genuinely delivers more force per dollar. Finally, if your toilet is round rather than elongated, the Ultra Nova isn’t available for you — the BB-2000 covers both configurations.

Final Verdict

The Ultra Nova isn’t a product you buy because you need a bidet seat. It’s a product you buy because you want the best bidet seat — and right now, in terms of comfort, design refinement, and wash quality, it earns that title. The thinnest profile on the market, a hot/cold massage function that actually delivers, an enema wash that outperforms everything I’ve compared it to, and an RF remote that works like it costs what it costs — these aren’t marketing claims, they hold up in real use.

The missing deodorizer and the three-increment adjustment ceiling are legitimate complaints for a seat at this price. But if those aren’t dealbreakers for your use case, the Ultra Nova is simply in a class of its own for luxury bidet seating.
