Saddle Stools

Ergonomic Saddle Stools That Help Relieve Back Pain

You probably know already that working in the same position for extended periods can harm your health and is often the cause of physical complaints. Millions of people in the Netherlands and Belgium still sit behind their desks for too long each day without taking breaks. The trend of working from home certainly doesn’t help. As a result, many people suffer from neck and back pain and end up needing physiotherapy. This issue affects not only office workers but also those in more active professions, like hairdressers and dentists.

To minimize physical complaints while sitting, it’s important to move regularly and maintain good posture. A saddle stool can be very helpful in this regard because the saddle shape makes it easier to tilt your pelvis forward. This reduces the pressure on your lower back, alleviating back pain.

High-Quality Saddle Stools with Smooth Wheels

The wheels on our saddle stools are high-quality and roll easily. Different types of wheels are available for saddle stools, which partly determine how smoothly the stool moves. Another factor is how the wheels are mounted on the base and the size of the base. A larger base offers more stability.

Saddle Stools for Hairdressers, Dentists, Massage Therapists, and Office Workers

Whether you’re a hairdresser, dentist, massage therapist, physiotherapist, or office worker, our saddle stools are suitable for everyone. Adjust the stool to a height where your upper body and thighs form a roughly 135-degree angle, and you’ll notice an immediate improvement in your posture. For those who work in close proximity to a chair or table (like hairdressers or dentists), a saddle stool allows you to get close while maintaining comfort.

Saddle Stools with or Without a Backrest

We offer saddle stools both with and without a backrest. In principle, a backrest isn’t necessary with a saddle stool, as the design naturally promotes an active posture. However, your back muscles may not be strong enough to maintain this posture all day long, and in that case, the support provided by a backrest can be very helpful. Keep in mind that it may limit your range of movement. Our saddle stools with backrests are adjustable in multiple ways.

What to Look for When Buying an Adjustable Saddle Stool

If you’re looking to buy an adjustable saddle stool, it’s important to consider the ways the stool can be adjusted. Most saddle stools are height-adjustable, but the range of adjustability can vary. Some stools also have a tilting function, allowing you to adjust the seat angle. If you option for a stool with a backrest, look for one where the backrest’s height and angle can be adjusted as well.
