Jobri BetterPosture Saddle Chair

Top Pro

Benefits of saddle posture

The saddle posture, with legs spread apart and supported by the feet and buttocks only, supports good natural back posture and allows better blood flow than sitting with the thighs. See More

Top Con

Hard to move the chair while sitting

The BetterPosture chair uses a standard 5-point caster wheel base, which is considerably wider than the seat and interferes with the feet when attempting to roll the chair while sitting. See More

Top Con

Adjustment period

Because the saddle position exploits anatomy for natural support, it demands a certain amount of muscle tone. This develops naturally over a week or so, but can cause some discomfort in the meantime. See More
