I've been having hip and lower back problems, and sitting has been awful! I tried the basic saddle stool from an online retailer - and it didn't have tilt. Very important unless you want your crotch to go to sleep. So, I ordered another one, a little more costly, with a split seat and tilt. It still felt too wide. I needed something I could adjust side-to-side. That's when I decided to bite the bullet and get this stool from Sit Healthier. It's a commitment – they don’t want you returning things. But, I'm happy to say, that this stool is "the one." It's helping my problems!

I work in an office at a desk job, and I do a combination of normal chair, saddle stool and standing at my desk. I have a sit/stand desk, too. This has been a big difference maker. At first, sitting in the saddle stool was a challenge for anything but a short period. The initial comfort was right on – just like sitting in a dressage saddle (so comfy). But, just like riding a bike or a horse for the first time in years - you're going to be sore. It will take an adjustment period and building up to longer sit times. During that time, make adjustments to ensure you have the stool exactly as you need it to relieve pressure points as best as you can. It took some dialing in, but I've got it. While I don't sit on this stool all day, I can sit for the time that I need to before changing to a standing position.

I have a bulging disk at L4/L5 and an annular tear, and this saddle stool offloads the stress from my lower back, puts me into alignment and brings me relief quickly. I'm confident that adding this to my office space has immensely helped my pain levels. Extended sit times will still be uncomfortable in the crotch - but I reposition further back on the seat when that happens. Eventually, I’ll stand and then sit on the stool again. You’ll also feel your core muscles building as you sit in good posture on this stool. It felt like I’d been working out once I worked up to longer sit times. Feels GREAT!

I opted for the leather seat - why not? It doesn't cost enough to be prohibitive, and I know how leather will wear in the long-haul if taken care of. The rest of the components are nice, and the wheels - which some people complain about - are just fine on my low-pile office carpet squares. There is no noise, and they roll fine. One of the first stools I tried had fancy wheels with bearings - and while they were zippy and smooth... I'm not having stool races and definitely didn't need to upgrade on this stool! They do what's needed!

I was nervous buying this stool (and thought at first I was regretting it), but after learning more about saddle stools, options that are really important, and how to acclimate to them - I'm really happy I did. This stool has the three options I need (height, tilt and width). I don't know how a really expensive stool could differ so much from this that it would be worth paying so much more - so I'm very satisfied. The only thing I wish they'd do is offer some cute colors (cobalt blue, red, etc), but black fits in almost anywhere.

As a new graduate from hygiene school I was on the hunt of a saddle chair that was affordable yet good quality. I am so glad I decided to go with SitHealthier because this saddle chair was wonderful. It is comfortable and has enough cushion support that helps with my ergonomic health. The doctor I work for and other fellow coworkers have complimented my chair stating that it has been the best one they have tried!

Good stool

I replaced a generic, old saddle chair from a big box online location. This is much more comfortable and very well made. I use this to play VR games in my Oculus.

good chair

great

Two weeks of using my saddle has improved my sitting posture and decreased my hamstring tendinopathy and lumbar back pain significantly. Would 100% recommend.

I am beginning to experience positive results re: my reason for purchasing my Sit Healthier chair. It takes a little getting used to and in my case excellent Customer Support. Customer Support gave me step by step guidance for my particular back problem and special use. They Held my hand and were there every step of the way.

Long time hygienist approved! Essy to get close to patient. Sturdy. Height options atr amazing. Awesome!

This chair is tall enough that I can sit with support and do most surgeries and dental procedures. My body and back can definitely tell the improvement. I am 5’5 and 125 lbs so this size is great but it would not work for a larger person. I also bought a bigger chair as well and they both are comfortable just for reference.

If you’re debating about whether or not this chair works, I’m here to tell you. It does just buy it. You’ll be so happy.

Received quickly in perfect condition - easy to assemble, high quality construction, looks beautiful and is comfortable for me to sit in - very happy with this purchase

This chair has helped my posture and my back.

I first bought a Salli Stool and found it to be very uncomfortable because of lack of padding. This one has just enough padding and in my opinion, is more comfortable than the Salli Stool. I just wish I could add a backrest to it. I’m a barber

I bought my chair for sewing. I had planned and designed a beautiful sewing/ craft studio, but always dreaded sitting at my sewing station, as I have severe,complicated inoperable lumbar pathology. Even 20 minutes in the old “ergonomic” chair created too much back pain! I am transitioning now and have spent 30 min in the studio without any problems. I have no problems going from sitting to standing either. It all seems to be working out! 😎🧵🪡
