Ergonomic studies show that sitting in a saddle seat stool offers real health benefits over traditional office seating. In addition to promoting better sitting posture and alertness, saddle seats open up the hips, chest and relieve lower back pressure. They encourage 'active sitting' by engaging your core muscles. The user's body weight is shifted from their backs and bottoms and onto the strong thigh muscles, causing the body to ease pressure off of the vertebrae and pelvis.
