Part of Humanscale’s award-winning Freedom seating line, the Saddle
and Pony task stools are the most comfortable, versatile and ergonomic
stools ever made. The original Saddle and the compact Pony Saddle make
sitting comfortable and workplace movement simple while complementing
any workspace or home office. The triangular cushion of the Saddle and
Pony saddle stools encourages users to sit in a “saddle” posture.
Sitting on stools in this position lowers the thighs, opens up the hips
and allows for increased circulation. The posture also reduces pressure
points on the tailbone, enabling long-term comfort.

Where traditional stools are often uncomfortable, static and stiff,
Freedom Saddle and Pony Saddle task stools incorporate the same
ergonomic design considerations as every other Humanscale product. The
result is a fun, versatile, and ergonomic stool that encourages movement
while remaining comfortable and promoting workspace wellbeing.

Ultimate Versatility – Ultimate Comfort – The Saddle and Pony Saddle
seats, part of Humanscale’s award-winning Freedom seating line, are the
most comfortable and versatile stools ever made. The original Saddle and
the more compact Pony Saddle accommodate comfortable sitting in
countless applications.

No other stool comes close – The Saddle and Pony Saddle’s unique,
triangular cushion encourages users to sit in a “saddle” posture, which
lowers the thighs, opens up the hips and puts the spine into a healthy
lordotic curve. The “saddle” posture also reduces pressure points for
long-term comfort and allows users to get closer to their work. It’s
simply one of the most comfortable and healthy ways to sit if leaning
back on a back rest is not an option.
Equally at home in an office, lab or industrial setting, the Saddle and
Pony Saddle seats are ideal for short duration computer work, clinical
applications and guest seating or even for getting your feet up off the
ground by using it as an ottoman.
