I recently got diagnosed with POTS and it really helps me with cooking and cleaning. Incredibly helpful!
I recently hired a new hygienist who requested one of these chairs. I used it one day on her day off and loved it so I ordered myself one. More recently I just ordered a second one for my other room not only does it help me sit upright, but it allows me to scooch in closer to the patient, making it easier for me to see and do better dentistry! Wish I had purchased these 20 years ago!
My sit bones are still adapting to this chair. I’d like a little more softness to it. But, I do find that I can sit longer at my computer in it than in a standard desk chair.
This is the best chair for drawing over a drafting table. The height and ergonomics are absolutely optimal. Requires real practice to sit for long durations, but comes with the added bonus of building missing core strength lost after years of desk chairs. Great customer service from Sit Healthier.
I love everything about my saddle stool. Height is great and roller blade wheels make it move smoothly! No hair tangled in wheels! Highly recommend to anyone hairstylist or anyone! Very comfortable!
Love this chair exactly what u was hoping for in a sit stand stool. My hips are already enjoying the difference!
I purchased a saddle chair with arms and tilt seat. It is a solid chair, there’s nothing flimsy about it. which translates to a secure feel as I move about.
The Sit Healthier team is very communicative. A dialog began soon after my order was placed as they made sure I was getting what I expected before they shipped. It continued as minor issues presented with a response to my questions never more than 24 hours away. Highly Recommend!
Best one I have ever had and I have had a lot comfortable and well built. I work in a salon doing hair and I eliminate most of my standing because of it. Saves my back
I've never used a saddle stool before so it will take some getting used to, but it is built solidly and pretty comfortable and I do notice my posture is much better than my old office chair.
Love the color I received—it looks very nice! The only reason I took away a star is because I wish the chair could tilt a little more forward. It just doesn’t tilt quite as far forward as I was hoping for.
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!
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.
Two weeks of using my saddle has improved my sitting posture and decreased my hamstring tendinopathy and lumbar back pain significantly. Would 100% recommend.
Concept is great. but the unit is made of plastic and I believe a little high priced (which may come from the shipping charge). The functionality deserves a high score, the design and materials, less so. The ball is of very good quality, making it very useful.
Long time hygienist approved! Essy to get close to patient. Sturdy. Height options atr amazing. Awesome!
