A saddle chair seats you as if on horseback, hips open and spine upright, which suits dentists, hygienists, therapists and anyone leaning in to close work. It is a specialist ergonomic shape. For a conventional seat, see ergonomic chairs, or read the short guide below.

A saddle chair opens the hip angle and encourages an upright spine, which suits people who lean in over close work for long periods, such as dentists, hygienists, physiotherapists, hairdressers and lab technicians. It also raises you to bench or patient height.
For close, leaning work it can be, because the forward-tilted seat encourages a more natural upright posture than a flat seat. As with any chair, it works best combined with good habits and regular movement, and suits some people more than others.
A one-piece saddle is a single contoured seat, while a split saddle has a central gap to relieve pressure, which some users find more comfortable for long sitting. The right one comes down to personal preference.
Check the seat-height range against your bench or patient chair, as saddle chairs sit higher than a normal office chair. Many have a wide adjustment range to bring you level with the work.
All our chairs carry a warranty that varies by product, and individual buyers are covered by the Consumer Guarantees Act. As a specialist purchase, we are happy to talk through the right saddle chair for your work before you buy.

Upright posture for close work

A saddle chair gets its name from its shape: you sit astride it as if on horseback, which opens the hip angle and tips the pelvis forward so the spine settles into a natural upright curve without you having to think about it. That posture suits anyone who leans in over close work for long periods.

It is why saddle chairs are popular with dentists, dental hygienists, physiotherapists, hairdressers and lab workers. The seated-high position also brings you level with a patient or bench and frees your legs to move. When choosing, check the seat-height range suits your bench and whether you want a split or one-piece saddle seat.

Posture by design

A saddle chair gets its name from its shape: you sit astride it as if on horseback, which opens the hip angle and tips the pelvis forward so the spine settles into a natural upright curve. That posture suits anyone who leans in over close work for long periods, without having to think about sitting up straight.

Who uses them

Saddle chairs are popular with dentists, dental hygienists, physiotherapists, hairdressers and lab workers, because the high seated position brings you level with a patient or bench and frees your legs to move. For a conventional seat, see ergonomic chairs and task chairs; for high benches, a drafting stool.
