Note: The RISON is now available from ErgoVerse as the RISON Leaning Stool.

The RISON Sit-Stand Leaning Stools from Mey Chair Systems offer users the options of sitting or leaning throughout the workday. The non-vertical, or leaning, stance effectively reduces the weight load on the joints of both the legs and the feet as the stool, rather than the legs and feet, becomes the load bearing support. The upright position also significantly reduces the effort required to return to a fully standing position. The shock absorbing effect of the easily adjusted gas cylinder provides additional comfort when the user sits down.

The fixed seat offers an infinitely adjustable height range and a forward-locking tilt adjustment ranging from 5° to 20°. The polyurethane seat provides a firm yet cushioned seating surface with raised texture bumps. Model 11120 also features a firm polyurethane back support with independent angle adjustment to ensure that a comfortable upright posture can be maintained regardless of the chosen seat angle.
Note: The back on the 11120 has a 2.5" deep curvature in the middle, is 14" wide, and has firm edges. Some users with broader frames may find the back on this model too narrow and deep for a comfortable fit. The EZSIT Comfort Elite Sit-Stand Stool from Mey Chair Systems features a broader back better suited to users of broader build.

The heavy-duty textured black tubular steel base on the RISON Sit-Stand Leaning Stool is designed for industrial settings but functions well in many offices, providing strength and stability. Strong nylon glides engage the floor to ensure firm positioning of the seat and the incorporated rollers permit the chair to be easily moved between workstations. The unique design of the base maximizes stability while greatly reducing the risk of tripping for passersby.

With two height ranges now available, there is a RISON suitable for users from well under 5' to over 6 feet. Models 11113 and 11120 (back version) offer a seat height adjustable from 26" - 35.5" and are suited to users from about 5'2" up to 6'6". The model 11130 is intended for shorter users and should accommodate those of heights ranging from 4'5" to 5'5".

The EZ-RYZE MATRIX Footrest from Mey Chair Systems offers virtually effortless adjustment while providing optimal support for the feet. Unlike comparable footrests, this robustly built model (and companion ARC and SOLO models) can easily be adjusted with a single foot. Users can access the release button with the heel, engaging the gas spring to gently raise or lower the platform to any point between 4.3" and 12.6" high. The non-locking platform tilts freely between 0° and 30°, encouraging flexing of the feet and ankles during use. A matrix of non-slip bumps on the 16.5" wide by 12.6" deep ABS plastic platform offers comfort and a massaging effect for the feet. The sturdy steel frame and base provide a wide stance for stability and support; the base is equipped with large rubber feet for secure positioning.

Le EZ-RYZE MATRIX Footrest de Mey Chair Systems offre l`ajustement pratiquement sans effort en fournissant le support optimal pour les pieds. Contrairement aux repose-pieds comparables, ce modèle est robuste (aussi que les modèles ARC et SOLO) et peut être ajusté facilement avec seulement un pied. L`utilisateur peut avoir accès au bouton de relâche avec le talon, engageant le verin à gaz pour faire monter ou baisser tranquilement la plate-forme entre 4.3 po et 12.6 po haut. La plate-forme non verrouillée peut être inclinée librement entre 0°; et 30°, qui encourage la flexion des pieds et des chevilles durant l`usage. Une série de bosses non glissantes sur la plate-forme en plastique ABS offre le confort et une action de massage pour les pieds. La plate-forme mésure 16.5 po de largeur et 12.6 po de profondeur. Le cadre et la base en acier sont robustes et offrent une posture large pour la stabilité et le support; la base est équipée avec des pieds larges en caoutchouc pour la position sécure.

The LOTAH Sit-Stand Comfort Seat from Mey Chair Systems is well-suited to users who need to work as close as possible to the work surface of an elevated workstation, particularly those built on top of base cabinets or shelves. The LOTAH features a large plush saddle designed to be straddled, rather than leaned against. While keeping the torso in an ergonomically desirable upright orientation, the straddle posture positions the heels behind the bend of the knees, rather than extended forward of the knees as they would be on a leaning stool. (See the Tulean Sit-Stand Comfort Leaning Stool, also by Mey Chair Systems, for an illustration of this latter position.) This posture allows the user to move in much closer to flat-fronted work surfaces than might otherwise be possible. As a result, the LOTAH Sit-Stand Comfort Seat helps to reduce the risk of overreach injuries to the muscles of the shoulders and back, and the risk of injury to the muscles of the sides and mid-section caused by sitting sideways along the base of the workstation and twisting at the waist to get close enough to its surface. The LOTAH Sit-Stand Comfort Seat also helps to reduce the load borne by the feet and legs for those who work at elevated workstations by transferring the majority of the user's weight to the seat. As a result the user experiences less overall fatigue and a greater ability to maintain focus and concentration.

Built on a heavy tubular steel base with a gas spring that enables a height adjustment range of 24.8" to 31.5", and with a seat that has 15° of tilt range and 3" of cushioning, the LOTAH Sit-Stand Comfort Seat offers individualized comfort and long-term durability.

Straddling the PYRCH Sit-Stand Saddle Stool from Mey Chair Systems allows the user to adopt an upright stance that encourages more upper body activity, better and deeper breathing, and improved overall blood flow. The user becomes more alert and can enjoy greater reach and freedom of movement. The upright position also makes it easy to return to a fully standing position.

Seated on the PYRCH Saddle Stool, the user also adopts a wider stance than is possible on a leaning stool or on standard chair. The saddle stool can be positioned at any height from 26" to 35.8". It can also be tilted forward up to 15° and provides a full 360° of free rotation. This capacity for full rotation makes the PYRCH a practical solution for users who need to swivel between different work surfaces from a fixed position. When the seat pan is tilted the PYRCH can also provide a degree of leaning capability. The robust black tubular steel base provides strength and stability, with strong nylon glides that ensure secure positioning.

The GIGCHR Folding Sit-Stand Chair from Mey Chair Systems is a temporary, foldable seating solution for a wide range of users. Designed for portability and weighing only 18.7 lbs, the GIGCHR enables musicians, public speakers and other users to easily transport the chair between venues or job sites. The chair offers a seat height adjustment range from 21.25" to 35.4" and an ample back height adjustment range, enabling users to position it to provide support where needed. The GIGCHR features durable rectangular tube steel construction rated to 264 lbs., simple folding hinges, and easy handwheel adjustment of the seat, back and footrest heights. The seat and back of the GIGCHR are padded for comfort and upholstered in black imitation leather for easy cleaning.

The built-in height-adjustable footrest provides support when the chair is elevated, and can easily be folded out of the way when not required or for storage and transport.

Optional accessories include a guitar stand and a beverage holder.

The NOSTND Sit-Stand Comfort Seat from Mey Chair Systems is designed to help users with larger builds work as close as possible to a raised workstation, particularly those built on top of base cabinets or shelves. Unlike the seats on a leaning seat or traditional stool, the large plush saddle on the NOSTND is designed to be straddled. Seated posture on the NOSTND is more upright, with the heels positioned behind the bend of the knees, rather than extended forward of the knees as they would be in a leaning position. (See the Tulean Sit-Stand Comfort Leaning Stool, also by Mey Chair Systems, for an illustration of this latter position.) This posture allows the user to move in much closer to flat-fronted work surfaces than might otherwise be possible. As a result, the NOSTND Sit-Stand Comfort Seat helps to reduce the risk of overreach injuries to the muscles of the shoulders and back, and the risk of injury to the muscles of the sides and mid-section caused by sitting sideways along the base of the workstation and twisting at the waist to get close enough to its surface. By supporting the majority of the user's weight on the seat, the NOSTND also helps to reduce the load generally borne by the feet and legs. Overall fatigue, and the risk of strain on the joints and tissues of the lower limbs can be greatly reduced.

Both the saddle style seat and the large back feature 3" cushioning; and both are height adjustable. The height of the seat can be adjusted between 23.25 and 28.75". The height adjustment range of the back is determined by the seat position. A handle and large rollers on the back glides enable the NOSTND to be easily moved as required. The NOSTND dual rectangular steel tube base is rated to support up to 440 pounds.

Larger users looking for a more traditional style of seat may be interested in considering the RSTMOR Sit-Stand Chair, also from Mey Chair Systems.

The EQUESTRY Sit-Stand Seat from Mey Chair Systems positions the user in an upright stance that is known to encourage upper body movement and deeper breathing. Together these have the potential to improve overall circulation and increase the alertness of the user. The upright stance also naturally realigns the spine and reduces the potential for lower back pain which is often associated with extended sitting. In addition it provides users with a noticeably extended reach or "Comfort Zone" which reduces the risk of over-reaching.

The Sitting Saddle Stool comes equipped with casters which lock when weight is lowered onto them, meaning that the chair does not move once the user is seated. This makes this an ideal chair for those performing tasks which require fine control but a full range of movement. The 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 22" to 27.6" and the seat also has the option of forward tilt up to 15°. This tilted seat position rotates the pelvis further forward, encouraging a more natural alignment of the back. Some users may also find this additional tilt more comfortable. Since the casters lock when weight is put on the chair, shorter users may be able to employ the tilting option in order to use this stool as a leaning solution when they need to move between locations and don't want to go into a fully seated stance.

The EQUESTRY Sit-Stand Seat features easily cleaned black imitation leather upholstery and a chromium-plated steel base for durability.

The MVMNT Folding Sit-Stand Saddle Chair from Mey Chair Systems is a non-swiveling, foldable saddle seat designed for smaller or average sized users working at standard or elevated workstations.

With its saddle-style seat, and a base-mounted footrest that keeps the toes approximately in line with the knees (rather than extended forward of the knees as they would be on a leaning stool), the MVMNT allows users to sit as close as possible to a work surface built on top of base cabinets or shelves. The MVMNT keeps the torso in an ergonomically desirable upright position, while at the same time providing stability and reducing the need to bend forward from the waist. This posture is especially beneficial when fine control is needed or when greater effort must be exerted. The small back rest offers temporary support for users who like to lean back occasionally.

The height of the seat can be adjusted from 20.9" high, to 30.7" high. The height of the back rest can be adjusted independently to allow users to position support where it is needed. The seat and back rest are both padded for comfort and upholstered in black imitation leather for easy cleaning. The MVMNT features a foot-bar to provide a secure base of support when the chair is elevated. The height of the foot-bar can be adjusted independently of the seat height and can easily be folded out of the way when not required or for storage and transport.

The MVMNT features simple folding hinges, and easy handwheel adjustment of seat, back and footrest heights. The MVMNT is built on a sturdy, rectangular tube steel base. Rated to 264 lbs, but weighing only 18.7 lbs in total, the Chair can be easily transported between venues or job sites.

The HYSIIT Sit-Stand Saddle Stool from Mey Chair Systems creates an upright posture that encourages upper body movement, better and deeper breathing, and improved overall circulation. This posture also enables greater reach and range of movement in the upper body, and makes it easy to return to a fully standing position.

The saddle stool design also creates a wider stance for the user, providing a secure seated position that offers relief to the joints of the legs and feet. The saddle stool tilts forward up to 15°, rotating the pelvis forward and resulting in a more natural and comfortable alignment of the back. The full 360° of free rotation enables users to swivel easily between work surfaces without the need to twist and turn at the waist. The stool can be positioned at any height from 26" to 35.8", and the easily adjusted gas cylinder creates a cushioning effect that gives slightly when the user sits down, reducing the impact on the lower back.

Self-braking castors permit the stool to roll freely but will brake when the user stands up. This practical feature ensures that the seat remains in the same position the user left it. Long-wearing woven fabric over foam padding provides a breathable seat for better comfort.

The SRLYN Sit-Stand Stool from Mey Chair Systems offers users working at height-adjustable workstations the option of an elevated seat or a leaning stance. The SRLYN helps to reduce strain on the muscles of the lower back and core, and on the legs and feet. The leaning position also minimizes the effort required to return to a fully standing position and provides users with a greater range of motion and greater reach than does a standard seated position.

The SRLYN Sit-Stand Stool features an infinitely adjustable height range from 26.4" to 35.8" and locking forward tilt adjustment from 5° up to 20°. The 14.2" wide by 12.6" deep formed polyurethane seat provides a large firm cushioned seating surface with an integrated handle for easy movement. (Note: Users under 5'6" may find this seat too high; taller users might benefit from its greater upper range which can accommodate individuals up to 6'6".)

Strong nylon glides engage the floor to ensure secure positioning of the seat. The incorporated rollers and handle enable users to move the seat easily between workstations. The unique design of the heavy-duty textured black tubular steel base maximizes stability while also greatly reducing the risk of tripping for passersby.

This ruggedly designed seat has an industrial look but would also work well in an office setting.
