What is a saddle seat on a drafting stool?

A saddle seat is shaped like a horse saddle — raised in front and back with a central depression — designed to position the pelvis in a slight anterior tilt that mimics a standing posture. This reduces pressure on spinal discs and encourages an upright spine. Saddle stools are often recommended for surgeons, dentists, and others who need precise upper-body control. They can feel unusual initially and require a short adaptation period. OfficeFurniture2go.com carries saddle stool options — call 1-800-460-0858 for recommendations.
