Finnish-Made Saddle Chair with Backrest

Finnish-Made Ergonomic Saddle Chair with Backrest for Semi-Sitting Work

This Finnish-made ergonomic saddle chair with backrest is designed for semi-sitting work at benches, packing tables and other workstations where the user often changes between sitting and standing. The saddle-shaped seat gives a more open sitting angle than a traditional flat chair. That makes it easier to sit upright, reach the work area and keep the shoulders in a relaxed position during detailed tasks. The backrest adds useful support when the task takes time or when the user needs a steady working posture. It helps share the load away from the lower back and gives a more secure feeling than a backless saddle stool.

Saddle seat with backrest for active work

The main idea of a saddle chair is simple: the user sits higher and more open, with the thighs angled slightly down. This position can make it easier to keep the spine in a neutral line and to move close to the workpiece without rounding the back. In packing, assembly and precision work, the user often needs to reach tools, parts, labels or materials from slightly different angles. A saddle chair with castors supports these small movements, because the user can roll within the workstation area without standing up for every adjustment. The backrest is especially helpful when the work includes repeated close-range tasks. It gives the user a clear support point, while the saddle seat still allows an active posture.

Standard tilt adjustment for seat and backrest

Every saddle chair in this model has tilt adjustment as standard. The seat and backrest angle can be adjusted continuously, so the chair can be set for the user and the task. A slightly adjusted tilt can help the user sit closer to the table, reduce static strain and keep the working posture more natural. This is useful in work where the hands must stay steady, for example during assembly, packing or other precise bench tasks.

Good adjustment also matters in shared work areas. One user may need a more upright position for short packing tasks, while another may prefer more support during longer detailed work. The tilt adjustment gives the workplace more flexibility without changing the whole workstation. As with any ergonomic chair, the best result comes from matching the chair height, table height and work distance to the user.

Two seat height ranges for different workstation heights

The chair is available with two seat height ranges. The lower option adjusts from 550 to 720 mm. The higher option adjusts from 620 to 870 mm and includes a foot ring as standard. These two alternatives make it easier to choose the right saddle chair for the workstation height and the way the work is done.

The lower height range suits many standard benches and worktables where the user needs a raised but still close working position. The higher height range is intended for higher workstations and tasks where the worker needs to stay almost standing while still receiving seating support. The foot ring on the higher model gives a place to rest the feet when the seat is set high, which helps the user keep a balanced and controlled posture.

Upholstery and colour options for different workplaces

Different work areas have different requirements for seating. This saddle chair with backrest is available with several upholstery options: fabric, genuine leather, artificial leather or faux leather, and integral polyurethane, often called PU. The choice can be made according to the work environment, the expected use and the look wanted for the workspace. Fabric gives a familiar seating surface. Genuine leather, artificial leather and integral polyurethane are useful alternatives when the workplace wants a different surface material. The available colour options are grey, black and red.
