Useful Tips
Can
adapt to all types of
work including standing
height work.
There can
be a short transition
period to adapt to a
totally different way of
sitting on a shaped
seat. We
suggest to allow a
period of two weeks for your body to
adjust.
Users
tend
to find posture and
other problems can be
helped after only a few
weeks of use.
Special Note: On a
saddle style of seat
tight skirts are not
possible due to the wide
stance required.

Improving your seated posture |
|
|
Shaped seat
distributes bodyweight
more evenly, providing a
natural anatomical
balance to promote
healthy seated posture.
Saddle Seat positions and stabilises
the pelvis to
relieve stress on the
lumbar discs and spine.
Saddle shape
maintains natural spine
curve by keeping the pelvis
rotated forward and the
back hollow so
when leaning forward to
work, the lean is from
the hips and not waist.
Widening the angle
between trunk and thighs
in a seated position
improves shape of the
spine, making it more
like the natural S-shape
in a standing posture.
Thighs are naturally
positioned apart and
pointing down
keeping body
balanced and pelvis
rotated forward.
Knees are naturally
positioned lower than
hips with feet at the side, allowing
lower back and upper
body to find a relaxed posture.

Saddle Seating
maintains
natural inward
curvature of spine
for optimum
balanced posture.

Features to consider |
|
The Beautelle Saddle
Seat provides a wide
range of adjustments to help the individual find the most
natural, comfortable sitting position.

Backrests
|
Seat Tilt

Height adjustable
seating
adapts to different
work positions and
ensures correct seated
posture, with
alternative height
ranges available.
Ideally your feet should
be planted squarely on
the floor without
compressing the back of
your thighs. Incorrect
seat height can
restrict blood supply to
lower legs and feet.
|
Our saddle seats
offer a backrest option
shaped to support the
lower and middle back.
Our backrests are
adjustable and tilt to
ensure you can adopt
different positions and
postures.
Dynamic sitting - our
backrests feature a
pivot hinge to provide
free float tilting for
maximum lumbar comfort.
|
The right chair for
proper sitting posture
will give you maximum
spinal support.
A tilting top can
additionally help you
find your most
comfortable position and
allow you to change the
angle to address
particular health
issues.
Our
tilting
saddle stool models
provide multi angle pelvic
positioning.

Coverings & padding |
|
Seat padding |
|
|
Padding should be firm
enough to support and
cushioned
enough for comfort. Our
supportive foam
system provides a
durable and shape
retentive foam padding,
maximising benefit from
the saddle shape seat.
On our seating you
can opt for an
additional
anatomic memory foam
layer. The
temperature sensitive
foam layer (used in
conjunction with a high
grade foam base layer)
moulds to the body's shape
and
provides excellent
weight distribution
while offering support,
comfort and
pressure relief.
