FYLDST Foldable Leaning Stool

by ErgoVerse

Additional Resources Accessories

The FYLDST Foldable Leaning Stool from ErgoVerse can provide leaning, perching, or even sitting options. While all three positions reduce the weight load and stress on the joints of the legs and feet, the leaning and perching positions are especially beneficial as they make it possible to quickly move back to a fully standing position with minimal effort.

Designed for portability, and weighing only 14.3 lbs, the FYLDST lets individuals easily move their seat with them between locations or job sites. This stool offers an extended range of seat height adjustment from 21.25" to 35.4" which will accommodate most heights and is rated to support 264 lbs. Heavy rectangular tube steel construction, simple folding hinges, and handwheel adjustment of seat height mean this chair will last through years of heavy use. The fixed, formed polyurethane seat angles slightly down at 10°, providing a comfortable resting place when needed, well suited to perching or leaning. The textured surface of the seat facilitates airflow and makes the seat feel softer, improving comfort.

The simple design of this model results in a fixed and rigid seating position, with the only cushioning being that of the reasonably firm formed-polyurethane seat. Those looking for more cushioning or not requiring portability may wish to consider one of the numerous other models from ErgoVerse, that greater cushioning in the seats or gas spring cylinders for shock absorbance.

Ergonomic Benefits

Reduces Foot and Leg Fatigue - Standing to perform any activity puts weight on the feet and legs. With time this results in fatigue, both from the pressure as well as the accompanying reduction in circulation in the lower legs and feet. The FYLDST can be utilized to take breaks from standing or to adopt varying postures as needed to reduce the potential for this type of fatigue to occur.

Reduces Strain on Knees - Rather than having to lower themselves down onto a traditional chair individuals are able to adopt a perching or leaning position, setting the seat at a height which is comfortable for them. This lets them be able to rest their lower legs while the chair bears a significant portion of their weight, and still be able to quickly return to a fully standing and walking position without having to lift themselves from a fully seated position.

Extended Range of Movement - Working from a semi-standing position offers individuals a noticeable increase in range of motion and reach compared to conventional chairs or stools. This extends the Comfort Zone and allows access to a larger area of the work surface, while at the same time reducing the risk of overextension. Learn More About the Comfort Zone.

Can Reduce the Risk of Lower Back Pain - Many people are susceptible to developing pain when the muscles of the lower back become fatigued. Having a compact, portable seat available to take short breaks from standing can permit the muscles of the lower back to relax and recuperate as circulation is restored. Taking these breaks can greatly reduce the potential of pain developing and can actually extend the period of time that the individual is able to perform their function before a longer break becomes necessary.

Increases Movement for Better Health - The FYLDST design ensures that one never moves to a fully seated position. As result there is a tendency towards a more active approach to working. Since it is possible to move both quickly and easily between the resting position and a fully standing position, a greater degree of movement and mobility may be engaged in throughout the day.

Core Muscle Maintenance - Traditional seating permits the core muscles to fully relax and become lazy. The semi-standing or leaning stance which this chair promotes also ensures that the muscles remain in some degree of continuous tension or flex in order to stabilize the torso. This will naturally aid in maintaining muscle tone.

Features

Wide Range of Seat Height Adjustment: Seat is easily adjustable from 21.25" - 35.4" (54 - 90 cm) and features a combination of a handwheel lock and rubber grip to hold the seat in place. Note: Due to the style of locking mechanism this seat is not suitable for those who may have limited hand or grip strength.
Folding for Easy Storage and Portability: Both legs and seat fold to a depth of only 7", making this a perfect solution for different locations and travelling between jobsites. The seat weighs only 14.3 lbs (6.5 kg) so carrying requires minimal effort.
Note: Always ensure that the legs are fully unfolded on the floor prior to using the seat.
Heavy Duty Construction: The simple rugged design of this chair ensures that it will perform to expectations for many years. Simply, heavy-duty hinges and an innovating locking mechanism ensure that the seat remains safely locked at the chosen height.

Usage Tips

Ensure Stability: Always ensure that the FYLDST is fully opened and stable before sitting.
Select the Correct Height: When adjusting the height of the seat for a leaning posture, aim to position yourself so that the angle of your thighs is between 25° and 40° off the vertical. If you are unable to make comfortable contact with the seat you have likely set the seat too high.
Consider Adding an Anti-Fatigue Mat to Your Workstation: If you notice that you do not feel secure (i.e. your feet feel as if they are slipping out from underneath you), or you would like a cushioned surface for your feet to rest on, consider adding a non-slip MATAR Anti-Fatigue Mat to your workstation.
Fatigue is a common contributor to workplace accidents. Short breaks can greatly significantly reduce the build-up of fatigue so keep your FYLDST readily available and use it.
The FYLDST is primarily suited to applications where portability and storability are required. If those are not necessary features there are several other seats from ErgoVerse that may prove to be better suited to your application.
