Ergonomic Office Saddle Chairs
Saddle chairs, also known as saddle stools or ergonomic saddle chairs, are seating options designed to provide a more natural and healthier sitting posture compared to traditional chairs that put you in a right angle position. Often resembling a horse's saddle they are designed to support you in a straddled or semi-standing position with your legs apart. It’s this upright and natural posture position that helps prevent slouching by encouraging the spine to maintain its natural curve, taking pressure of the back and discs. This can help reduce the risk of back pain and discomfort associated with poor posture. Sitting on a saddle chair also engages your core muscles and may enhance blood circulation in the pelvic region. more
The biggest issue we see at Bad Backs is the need to have the chair high enough to get the slope on your thighs (pelvic tilt). If you have a normal desk heigh (say 74cm) or are tall then by lowering the saddle chair to work properly you can lose all the benefit of the chair. It’s important to note that individual preferences and comfort vary. Some people find it takes time to adjust to using a saddle chair, and being frank they may not be suitable for everyone. Brands like the Australian Bambach have 4 seat shapes to try to get the fit right and they have various gas light heights and other options to try to suit every body. We have demos in all Bad Backs stores to try.
