Chattanooga Saddle Flexi Stool

Rediscover comfort and energy at your workspace. The Saddle Flexi Stool is engineered to support the body’s natural need for movement, even while stationary. Unlike traditional chairs that encourage slouching, this equestrian-inspired design opens the hips and encourages a natural, healthy S-curve in the spine. The seat's unique flexibility allows for a range of motion that keeps your core muscles engaged and blood circulating freely. You can lean forward to focus on detailed tasks or tilt sideways to reach for files, all while maintaining stability and balance. It bridges the gap between standing and sitting, ensuring you end your workday feeling as agile as when you started.

Key Features and Benefits

• Dynamic Motion Technology: The specialized base tilts and pivots with your body's movements. These micro-movements keep your core engaged and prevent the stiffness associated with static sitting.
• Corrective Posture Support: The contoured saddle shape naturally rotates the pelvis forward. This alignment reduces pressure on the lumbar discs and alleviates shoulder tension caused by hunching.
• Improved Circulation: By opening the hip angle to approximately 135 degrees, the stool promotes better blood flow to the legs and reduces the risk of swelling or numbness during long sessions.
• Space-Saving Design: The compact footprint and armless silhouette allow you to tuck the stool completely under desks or maneuver easily in tight spaces, such as medical exam rooms or art studios.
• Hygienic and Durable: Upholstered in premium, easy-to-clean vinyl, the seat resists stains and stands up to rigorous daily use in clinical or industrial environments.

Benefits of Active Sitting

Active sitting refers to the practice of engaging your core muscles while seated. This type of movement is beneficial for our bodies as it helps counteract the negative effects of prolonged sitting. Here are some key benefits of incorporating active sitting into your daily routine:

• Improves Posture: One of the main advantages of active sitting is its ability to improve posture. By engaging your core muscles, you naturally sit up straighter and maintain a more upright position. This can help reduce strain on your neck, shoulders, and lower back.
• Reduces Back Pain: Active sitting can also help alleviate back pain. By keeping your core muscles engaged, you are providing support for your spine and reducing the pressure on your lower back. This can be especially beneficial for those who sit for long periods of time.
• Increases Energy Levels: Sitting still for extended periods of time can lead to fatigue and decreased energy levels. However, by incorporating active sitting into your routine, you are encouraging blood flow and oxygen circulation throughout your body. This can help increase alertness and productivity.

Additional Uses

Aside from the previously mentioned industries, standing desks and ergonomic chairs are also useful for:

• Home Offices: With more people working from home, having a proper workstation that promotes movement can improve productivity and overall health.
• Classrooms: Students who are required to sit for long periods of time can benefit from using standing desks or active sitting solutions to help them stay focused and engaged.
• Retail Spaces: Cashiers and retail workers who spend most of their day standing can benefit from anti-fatigue mats or ergonomic stools to alleviate pain and discomfort.
• Industrial Workplaces: Factory workers, warehouse employees, and other manual laborers can use adjustable workstations to accommodate different tasks and positions throughout the day.
