​Current knowledge of sitting health

Because of the gap in the middle of the seat there is no uncomfortable pressure on the genital area, and thus no need to turn the pelvis away from the pressure. That would result in a slouched sitting position where the back is rounded. The healthy posture can now be obtained easily and maintained during the whole day. The gap enhances both genital and internal pelvic health.

Future super office

All the factors that boost well-being, productivity and energy will be realized in the future office, where productivity is easily 1.5 to 3 times better than in the traditional office. The good posture that is the basis of well-being and efficiency is achieved by sitting on a two-part swinging saddle chair, and standing for a third of the working time, about 20 minutes at a time.

Don't abolish the effects of exercise by sitting in a bad position

It is a misconception that exercising outside the work day would undo the bad effects of sitting. By sitting all day at work in a bad position, you accidentally abolish the effects of active exercise. You can add movement into your day by sitting on an actice, two-part saddle chair. The middle gap in the two-part saddle chair is also important for the blood and lymph circulation.

Energy levels up, profitability up!

Back pains are the most common reason for sick leaves. The sick leaves are long, and the problems may never completely go away. The worst thing one can do is to sit in a slouched position. The natural curves of the spine disappear and the pressure in unevenly distributed on the disks; that can result in a prolapsed disk. When the back muscles stretch they get tense and their circulation weakens.
