What is Saddle Stool

Are you aware that how long do you sit in the office all day ? For normal office workers, they basically take at least 8 hours in a day but it may have chance to sit longer once they need to work overtime or any other special contingencies.

In view of this, it's very significant to choose an office chair that can be sedentary. Today we are going to introduce the new choice of ergonomic chair- Saddle stool, which is suitable for workers needing to sit for a long time. So, let's start why we recommend Saddle chair?
 


What is Saddle Stool?

Saddle stool can also be seen as office chairs. The inspiration of design comes from imitating the saddle, which places on the back of horse initially. To date, we apply it to OA field.

The Saddle chair has many advantages. Its outlook is similar to saddle and more ergonomic than traditional office chairs. It not only adjusts seat width, posture and height but provides mobility to workers needing to sit and move frequently. And the most importantly, it helps us sit in an upright vertical position and the pelvis can be in its neutral upright position and have the spine support the upper body. This will prevent and rehabilitate back problems simultaneously.
 

How many types do Saddle stool include ?

Once-piece Saddle stool

The one-piece Saddle chair is the most classic type. Its once piece design is simple, functional and aesthetic. It adopts sturdy steel seat frame and thick mold foam seat, which can relieve spinal and pelvis stress effectively.

What benifits do Saddle stool bring to our body?

Improve circle blood of body (circulation) while sitting

Sitting too long will cause bad circulation to our body, especially that we keep the same sitting posture for a long time every day. It will affect our metabolism badly in the long term. The best advantage of Saddle chair is workers can have a personalized fit by adjusting seat width & posture simultaneously.


Maintain the right sitting posture

Keeping the right sitting posture won't cause much burden on our body. Saddle stool can help workers keep spine aligned and stimulate concentration of core muscles and support pelvis at right position while working.


Alleviate the pain of back and shoulder

When sitting, our lumbar vertebrae will bear double pressure than standing, so workers who are sitting too long will tend to have more fatigue than standing, especially the pain in back, neck and shoulder. Saddle stool can provide an unburdened, standing-like and positive way to sit in balance. Also, by correcting back posture, the stress from back, neck and shoulder will be alleviated.
