The CITZ Sit-Stand Stool from Mey Chair Systems is intended to provide industrial workers with a seating solution that can be an aid to improving their overall health and to encourage greater safety in the workplace. The wider stance when straddling a saddle seat provides users with a much wider range of reach, while at the same time ensuring excellent stability and control. The upright stance also provided by saddle sitting is known to encourage upper body movement which can lead to better and deeper breathing and has the potential to improve overall blood flow.

Both the seat and back support are formed from firmly cushioned self-surfaced polyurethane foam that can be easily cleaned, ideal for workplaces where cleaning may be necessary. The fibreglass-reinforced base is equipped with special self-braking casters which permit the CITZ to roll freely when in use but brake when the user lifts their weight. This ensures that the seat remains in the same position from which they stood, adding to the safety and enhancing the ability of the seat to aid users in maintaining focus on the task at hand. A full 360° of free rotation enables users to easily align to equipment or reach other work areas as needed. The gas lift provides a seat height anywhere between 20.9" and 26.4" and the seat also has the option of forward tilt up to 15°. This tilted seat position rotates the pelvis forward, providing a more natural alignment of the back--both healthier and more comfortable for many users. For users who need or are looking for back support, this chair is equipped with a removable height and angle adjustable back support.

Note: Some users with broader frames may find the firmness of the concave edges on the back less than ideal for comfort. The outer dimensions of the back support are 14" wide with a 2.5" deep curvature in the middle.

The 908 Adjustable Saddle Chair with Articulating Backrest from Kanewell offers exactly the same ergonomic benefits, adjustment range, and features as available on the 901 series models. However the re-designed width/splay adjustment mechanism on the 908 lets both halves of the seat now move from a central point. This ensures that the backrest always retains a central position, regardless of the saddle spread, splay or tilt. The large, generously padded, articulating backrest provides customizable support for those situations where a backrest may be desired*.

All of the Kanewell saddles are equipped with a comfortable split-saddle seat with the added benefit of width and angle adjustment for a personalized fit. The Kanewell 908 Adjustable Saddle Stool is well-suited for use in active office environments, at raised counters or elevated workstations, or anywhere there is a need to be able to move into close proximity to the working area—such as dental, medical, or veterinary practices. The upright posture provided by the saddle-seating encourages better back posture, provides a much greater range of movement than that available from traditional seats, and enables virtually effortless movement about a workspace on the 60mm diameter casters.

The split-saddle is designed to reduce pressure points and improve airflow for a cooler and more comfortable experience, especially during longer periods of concentrated work. The Kanewell 908 Adjustable Saddle Stool has a slightly narrower profile than similar non-Kanewell split saddles, a feature that might offer greater comfort to those with larger thighs. Another key difference from these other saddles is the degree of padding that makes the Kanewell 908 Adjustable Saddle Stool more forgiving for those whose body contours may not as closely match the contours of the saddle foundation.

The saddle features a thick layer of polyurethane foam that provides a firm but cushioned seating surface. The 908 series saddle is available upholstered in either Vinyl (better suited where a non-permeable surface for regular cleaning is required) or genuine top-grain Leather that provides a flexible and breathable surface. The two halves of the seat are adjustable for symmetrical separation and angle of splay, and the seat as a whole can be tilted downward if desired.

Optional accessories include a Foot Ring Accessory option can be used to provide stability and comfort support when the chair is elevated above standard heights (the height of the foot ring is adjustable independently of the height of the chair) and optional fixed glides to replace the casters if chair movement is undesirable.

* Note: Although backrests are not generally recommended with saddle seats there are some circumstances where a backrest may be desired. The adjustable backrest models are available both in Vinyl and Leather in both this newer 908 Series as well as the earlier 901 Series Saddles. If there is a possibility that a backrest may be desired at some time in the future it is recommended to plan ahead and purchase an adjustable backrest models because of the much greater adjustment that is available. The backrest does not need to be installed during the initial assembly so the saddle can easily be used as a non-backrest model. However, the backrest adjustment mechanism is always available and the backrest can be installed or reinstalled in seconds.
