Height Adjustment
A good saddle chair should have a suitably long gas lift to achieve the correct sitting height for the user. Sitting on a saddle chair is higher than on a normal chair. It is essential to ensure that the heels touch the floor and that the legs do not dangle. These aspects ensure an optimal sitting posture.

Seat Design and Adjustments
Saddle chairs come in various shapes and sizes. It’s important to try the chair to ensure the width and softness suit the user. If the saddle is too wide, it may lead to incorrect posture, potentially causing pain in the hips and back. If the saddle is too narrow, it won’t guide the user to an optimal sitting position. Saddle chairs are available with features such as tilt adjustment, width adjustment, and swing mechanisms that follow movement. Additionally, models with backrests are available, allowing the back muscles to relax during sitting.

Materials and Upholstery
Particular attention should be paid to the quality and choice of upholstery material, especially if the saddle chair needs to be disinfected. In such cases, a chair with faux leather upholstery is recommended. Saddle chairs are also available with leather and fabric upholstery. A genuine leather saddle chair is breathable and comfortable to use.

Mobility
A saddle chair is an excellent way to add natural movement to the day. It allows for freer movement and is easy to move from one place to another thanks to rolling wheels. A movement-following seat mechanism also adds extra motion to sitting on a saddle chair.

Saddle chairs are much more than just ergonomic seats. They:

Promote better posture by keeping the spine in its natural alignment.

Reduce back pain as the lower back doesn’t round out.

Improve productivity by preventing fatigue and enhancing alertness.

What is the correct sitting position on a saddle chair?
The correct position is achieved when the knees are significantly lower than the hips, the back is straight, and the pelvis tilts slightly forward.

Can a saddle chair be used with any desk?
The desk height must be higher than usual to adjust the saddle chair’s height appropriately and ensure an ergonomic position.

Is a saddle chair suitable for prolonged sitting?
Absolutely! A saddle chair is designed to support extended sitting by reducing strain on the back and joints and improving fluid circulation.
