It is natural after working for hours at the computer to tend to slump forward. Doing so puts added stress on vertebrae, inhibiting circulation. Salli Saddle chairs promote posture with the legs angled downward and the hips angled forward. The chair helps the back retain its anatomically preferred "S" position. Tension in the muscles and spine is radically reduced. 

Since all Salli models have no edge to press into your upper leg, buttocks and leg muscles don't get flattened. The Salli chair position increases the angle between upper and lower legs and requires that the legs play a more active role in sitting. Overall metabolism is increased. The units are ideal for use in medical environments for example by dentists or medical technicians who often work seated but need a chair offering better posture.

Three Models available

• The Classic, shown top:  height adjusts within the standard seat range of 23" to 30". 

• The Twin model, shown below: designed with a two part seat offering added space to accommodate the male anatomy. Suites the female body structure, too. The Twin model now offers an optional tilt feature on 2010 models!!

• The Salli Multiadjuster, shown second image below: the most adjustable unit, it height adjusts and the seat tilts.  Designed for male and female users.

The Salli Multi-adjuster (below)  is our most flexible model. It's two part seat allows multiple points of width adjustment by altering the gap between the seat parts for wider or narrower pelvic posture. The seat height adjusts and tilts.

With the Salli, you sit higher and there is no backrest, so sitting down and getting up is easy.

Health benefits of saddle-sitting

Saddle seats provide more healthful sitting postures than conventional ergonomic chair designs, and have many health benefits.

Saddle-sitting soothes back, neck, hip, and arm pain.

The strongly declining position of the upper legs rotates the pelvis forward and curves the lower back into an anatomically correct position of lordosis. This in turn straightens the upper back, leading to a generally improved back posture and reduced tension in the upper back, shoulder girdle, and neck muscles.

Saddle-sitting strengthens the back and improves your posture.

This new sitting stance stimulates and strengthens the back, abdominal, and buttock muscles. Your posture will gradually correct itself as your muscles respond to the new posture.

Saddle-sitting improves leg circulation and reduces foot swelling.

There is no edge to press against your upper leg, and your buttocks and leg muscles are free of contact pressure. The veins and arteries that carry blood to and from your legs are in their most open position. With the angles between upper and lower legs being much wider than usual and the active use of your legs accelerating your metabolism, your legs will really feel much better.

Saddle-sitting improves balance.

The spread of the legs, called hip abduction, stabilizes the pelvis in an upright orientation, so you can relax. And your wide foot stance keeps you balanced when you move about. Balance is so dramatically improved, that many people with neurological impairments who topple out of conventional chairs, sit independently in a saddle seat.

Saddle-sitting enhances hand acuity and strength.

Precision hand activity is facilitated through improved positioning of the shoulder girdle and upper back, and a more stable torso.

Saddle-sitting makes it easier to get up and sit down.

You sit higher than usual, so sitting down and getting up without using your hands is really easy and quick.
