Sit Stand
When we stand, our upper bodyweight is above the pelvis, which is in a neutral, balanced position. When we sit in a traditional chair, the pelvis reclines and becomes unbalanced, and our bodyweight is now pushing down behind the pelvis. This stresses particularly the lumbar region, so we need a backrest to take the weight of and support our back.
We’re listing a lot of saddle stools here because we believe they’re particularly good for sitting health. The more open angle at the hips creates less stress on the back, and because the pelvis is balanced, we don’t need a backrest. For those that really want a back rest, small lumbar supports are available as an option on some saddles.
We sit a lot higher on a saddle stool, so the working height needs to be considered, ideally it’ll be paired with a height adjustable desk.
Because we’re now using our own core muscles to sit upright, for most people switching from a traditional chair with a backrest, there will be a period of adjustment. At first, you may find that you’re finding half an hour is enough time, and it’ll take 2-3 weeks to become adjusted to your new, healthier position.
Sitting still all day is bad for our health. In this section we list products that encourage greater movement when sitting, and in general work particularly well with a height adjustable desk.
Our saddle stools come from Score in The Netherlands, and Salli from Finland.
The Salli chairs all have a split seat, which is beneficial for pressure relief.
Both have a choice of seat size. Score call their larger seat Jumper, and the smaller one Amazone. We find most people prefer the Amazone, but you really need to try them for yourself to be sure. The larger Jumper is perhaps a little easier to get used to for those transitioning to saddles from traditional chairs.
Salli offer a standard size seat, and a small. The small was originally designed for children, but some smaller built women prefer it over the standard.
And both have a choice of mechanisms. Basically these are: Fixed – no movement in the seat at all. Tilt – the seat can be tilted forward, particularly beneficial for dentists and surgical work. Swing/Balance – a small amount of movement in every direction, the seat moves naturally with the body. We recommend these models for most people. Salli also have models with an option to adjust the width of the pads – Swingfit and Multiadjuster. The Salli video shows the differences.
Both have a range of accessories, not all of which are listed here. If you want a lumbar support, those for the Score models are excellent.
We can order any saddle in any colour and finish you like. These are built to order for you and generally take about 4 weeks to arrive. However we try to keep a few in stock for immediate despatch. We buy these in bulk to save on carriage costs and pass that saving on to you. Please take a look at the ‘Special Offers’ page to see what we have available.

Salli Swing Black Special
This chair is in stock for immediate despatch.
Black leather 2 part saddle with 540mm black base and medium lift for users 150-180cm
This special offer chair features detail stitching in the leather.
Salli’s two part saddles keep the pelvis in an upright position and the spine in alignment while also offering benefits to circulation and ventilation.
The Swing mechanism makes the seat adapt to your movements and enables you to keep the back straight at all times. The tilt mechanism provides 5 degrees of movement in all directions to help strengthen core muscles while you work.
In a traditional chair your pelvis reclines as you sit, and this stresses the lumbar spine. On a Salli saddle, the pelvis maintains it’s natural balanced position and you sit on your sit bones. For this reason, you do not need a back rest. Probably the healthiest way to sit.
You sit higher on a saddle stool than a traditional chair, therefore your desktop needs to be higher. Ideally a saddle stool should be paired with a height adjustable desk.
Score Jumper Balance
The Score Jumper with Balance mechanism is an ergonomic saddle stool. The design of the saddle tilts the pelvis forward and promotes a healthy ‘S’ curve in the spine.
The higher seating position of the saddle stool allows for a more neutral 135 degree hip angle. This halfway position between sitting and standing keeps the pelvis balanced and the spine protected from ligament and disc strain in the lumbar region. The open angle also promotes better flow of fluids and oxygen around the body.
The Jumpers wider seat results in a narrower hip angle than the Amazone. As such, a larger part of the body weight rests on the seat and gives the Jumper a sitting experience nearer to that of a traditional chair than some saddles.
The Balance mechanism brings constant movement to sitting, which benefits the whole body. The saddle moves subtly with you which strengthens core muscles and the spine. The ring adjusts the height of the saddle and the tension of the Balance mechanism.
Covered in Samskin, which has an antimicrobial and anti-fungal treatment and is waterproof and washable. Perfect the finish of your saddle by combining two colours for a little extra cost.

The tilting mechanism allows the angle of the seat to be fixed forward or backwards, which brings benefits to people doing precision work, and is particularly favoured by dental healthcare workers.
The addition of a lumbar support provides extra support in the lower back, and is a great device for leaning into and stretching. It can be adjusted for height and angle so it’s easy to find the perfect position.
