A compact, posture-friendly saddle stool built for modern, mobile work. Ideal for sit–stand desks, labs, and tight workspaces, the Humanscale Saddle and Pony Saddle deliver open-hip comfort, ergonomic alignment, and durable construction that lasts.

Description Description

Product Description

If you’ve spent yet another day in a traditional office chair wondering why your hips feel like they’ve clocked out early, meet the stool that fixes all that. The Humanscale Saddle and Pony Saddle Stools open up your hips, activate better posture, and keep you comfortably mobile — all without swallowing up floor space or trying too hard.

Designed for fast-paced, flex-friendly work environments, these stools shine anywhere people bounce between sitting and standing: design studios, labs, clinics, maker shops, and modern offices with height-adjustable desks. The contoured saddle seat encourages a natural upright spine, reduces slouching, and keeps your core engaged in a way that feels surprisingly effortless.

Because this is an active seating style, expect a short “getting-to-know-you” period. Your body will adjust quickly, and once it does, you may never look at flat seats the same way again. (Your back will definitely file a complaint if you try.)

Choose the full Saddle for maximum ergonomic magic or the compact Pony Saddle for tight spaces and smaller frames. Either way, you're getting a posture-friendly, design-forward stool that works harder than it looks.

Why Choose This Product? Why Choose This Product?

Why Choose This Stool

• Open-hip posture that feels amazing — The saddle shape naturally aligns your spine and reduces pressure on your lower back, making long work sessions feel less like a full-contact sport.

• Perfect for sit–stand desks — Slide in, slide out, glide around — this stool is basically the standing desk’s best friend.

• Small footprint, big ergonomics — Ideal for tight spaces, mobile workstations, labs, health environments, or anywhere chairs get in the way.

• Short adjustment period, long-term comfort — A few days of light use and your body embraces the new posture. After that, traditional chairs feel… flat.

• Humanscale quality — Built for serious daily use with premium materials, smooth height adjustment, and a base that feels rock solid.

• Graphite done right — We offer it in Humanscale’s most enduring, design-forward finish — a timeless neutral that plays nicely with nearly every palette.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this stool comfortable for full workdays? Is this stool comfortable for full workdays?

Yes — once your body adjusts to the open-hip posture, many users find it more comfortable than a traditional chair. We recommend alternating between sitting, perching, and standing for best long-term comfort.

What cylinder height do I need? What cylinder height do I need?

Use Standard height for typical desk setups, High or Tall for sit–stand desks or lab environments, and Low if you're staying closer to traditional seated height. If you’re between ranges, go taller — more adjustability never hurts.

Which one should I choose: Saddle or Pony Saddle? Which one should I choose: Saddle or Pony Saddle?

The Saddle is the full-size version with maximum ergonomic benefit. The Pony Saddle is a more compact option, great for smaller workstations or users who prefer a narrower profile.

How long is the adjustment period? How long is the adjustment period?

Most people acclimate within a few days of casual use. It’s an active seating style, which means your core and posture wake up — in a good way. Start with shorter sessions and increase gradually.

Can this stool be used in labs or clinical settings? Can this stool be used in labs or clinical settings?

Absolutely. Its mobility, compact size, and posture-forward design make it popular in labs, medical environments, and anywhere ergonomics matter but space is tight.

Does the stool require any maintenance? Does the stool require any maintenance?

Just occasional wiping of the seat material and base. Humanscale builds these to last — no special care rituals required.

Does this come with a backrest? Does this come with a backrest?

No — and that’s the point. The saddle design naturally supports an upright spine without leaning. If you prefer back support, we can recommend great alternatives.

Is there assembly required? Is there assembly required?

Just a quick click-together setup. Zero tools. Zero stress.

How do I care for the upholstery? How do I care for the upholstery?

A simple wipe with a mild solution keeps the seat looking fresh.
