Abstract: A compressible, air freshening toilet seat adapted for being secured to a toilet bowl includes a cushioning top layer, a rigid bottom layer, an inner periphery, an outer periphery, a compressible chamber, and a plurality of receptacle structures. The top layer is formed of a resilient, cushioning material. The bottom layer has sufficient rigidity for supporting a body weight of a user, and is fixedly attached to the top layer about the peripheries. The chamber is enclosed and defined by the top layer, the bottom layer, and the peripheries. Each of the receptacle structures has an open first end with a retaining lip, and is defined at a predetermined location within the top layer or the bottom layer. Each of the receptacle structures is dimensioned and configured for receiving and removably containing an air freshening element and for permitting a sufficient amount of air freshening agent from the air freshening element to be directed into the atmosphere.
