Why buy a saddle stool from Sit & Sleep?


A saddle chair can be an excellent solution, provided several key factors are checked by a specialist. Consider your height, your working posture, the amount of time you sit per day, and the correct adjustment of the chair. As you can see, simply buying a saddle chair isn't without risk. So get expert advice from us and test the chair for free at your home or workplace!

Properties of a good saddle stool

  • Different sizes

    A good saddle stool should be suited to your specific body type. The height of the stool should be adjustable and high (or low) enough for your riding situation. The size and shape of the saddle should also be chosen based on your comfort needs.

  • Moving mechanism

    Many professions requiring saddle chairs require sitting in the same position for extended periods. Therefore, it's essential that the chair has a balancing mechanism. The small, micro-movements distribute the load evenly.

  • Open hip angle

    The saddle's shape should create an open angle between the torso and thighs. This is important to maintain the pelvis in its neutral position and distribute pressure evenly across the discs. Always choose a saddle shape.

Our advisors are trained to adjust the saddle stool to your individual body type. This way, you'll get the most out of your purchase and avoid back or neck problems. You can even try the chair at home for free for a week!

Why choose a saddle stool?

A saddle chair promotes an open hip angle and a neutral lower back posture. The higher you sit, the better this effect. Thanks to the saddle-shaped seat, you won't slide off. Preferably choose a flexible option: this stimulates blood circulation, varies the stress on tissues, and trains muscles. Movement is always better than sitting still for long periods.
Some models have lumbar support, which allows you to rest your back muscles from time to time while still maintaining a good posture.
Saddle chairs are ideal for working at tables of varying heights, such as drafting tables or sit-stand desks. They are also particularly suitable for professions where you work semi-standing, such as goldsmiths, dentists, physiotherapists, surgeons, lab technicians, mechanics, or hospitality workers.

The best chair for dentists or doctors

For dentists, an ergonomic saddle chair is essential for comfortable and healthy working. During treatments, you often sit for long periods of time in concentrated postures, so an open hip angle and a stable, straight back are important. A saddle chair optimally supports this posture and reduces tension in the lower back and shoulders.
Ideally, choose a model with an adjustable seat height and possibly lumbar support, so your back muscles can relax occasionally. Mobility is also crucial: a dynamic chair stimulates blood circulation, prevents stiffness, and keeps your muscles active, even during precision work.
For dentists, it's also important that the chair is maneuverable and compact, allowing for easy movement around the treatment chair. A narrow saddle seat provides sufficient support while still allowing enough space for precise movements. Finally, the surface should be easy to clean for optimal hygiene in the practice.
