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 CITZ Sit-Stand Stool from Mey Chair Systems is intended to provide industrial workers with a seating solution that can be an aid to improving their overall health and to encourage greater safety in the workplace. The wider stance when straddling a saddle seat provides users with a much wider range of reach, while at the same time ensuring excellent stability and control. The upright stance also provided by saddle sitting is known to encourage upper body movement which can lead to better and deeper breathing and has the potential to improve overall blood flow.

Both the seat and back support are formed from firmly cushioned self-surfaced polyurethane foam that can be easily cleaned, ideal for workplaces where cleaning may be necessary. The fibreglass-reinforced base is equipped with special self-braking casters which permit the CITZ to roll freely when in use but brake when the user lifts their weight. This ensures that the seat remains in the same position from which they stood, adding to the safety and enhancing the ability of the seat to aid users in maintaining focus on the task at hand. A 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 20.9" and 26.4" and the seat also has the option of forward tilt up to 15°. This tilted seat position rotates the pelvis forward, providing a more natural alignment of the back--both healthier and more comfortable for many users. For users who need or are looking for back support, this chair is equipped with a removable height and angle adjustable back support.

Note: Some users with broader frames may find the firmness of the concave edges on the back less than ideal for comfort. The outer dimensions of the back support are 14" wide with a 2.5" deep curvature in the middle.
