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.

Score Jumper Fixed
The Score Jumper 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 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.
Supplied 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.
Other materials are available, please call 01392 202012.

Hag Capisco Puls 8020
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]From legendary designer Peter Opsvik, the iconic Hag Capsico. Not many designs last over 40 years but the Capisco still looks fresh today and is one of Europes most popular chairs. In designing Capisco, every area of a chair that wasn’t considered important was stripped away, leaving a design that allows and encourages movement.
Inspired by the horseback rider’s dynamic posture, Capisco was designed for greater freedom of movement when sitting and encourages a variety of unconventional positions.
The HÅG Capisco Puls provides you with all the benefits of the HÅG Capisco, but has an exposed plastic shell for lightness and economy. For lively environments such as creative workplaces, it’s a versatile choice. It’s easy to wipe down, and like the HÅG Capisco, perfectly suits height adjustable desks.
The Puls 8020 has a padded seat cushion for extra comfort and is available with wide variety of contemporary fabrics. We’ve highlighted Select wool here, please call us for other choices.
You can select from 5 different metal colours and 9 plastic shell colours and design something that will look really special in your home or office.
As you’d expect of a quality Scandinavian brand a great deal of effort is put into making Capisco with as environmentally friendly as possible. One of the plastic colours is made from recycled now plough markers, and as such the exact shade will vary between batches.
For extra versatility add a foot ring (200mm or 265mm only) or Step Up.
Salli Swing Brown Stock chair
This chair is in stock for immediate despatch.
Brown leather 2 part saddle with matt metal Salli base and Long lift for users over 165cm.
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.
