The ergonomic disadvantages of a conventional work chair that forces a 90/90 sitting angle have been thoroughly demonstrated and are self-evident to preventive health experts. Therefore, a rational and health-conscious person would not use such a chair.
Most saddle chairs on the market are cheap and harmful to health, as they lack a central gap and are anatomically poorly designed, negatively impacting both male and female health. A conventional saddle chair’s central ridge compresses the pudendal ducts that pass through the pelvic floor to the genitals even more effectively than a regular chair.
Saddle chairs with a central gap, on the other hand, almost always have a convex design in the inner thigh area, which exerts harmful pressure on the blood and lymphatic vessels of the inner thighs, as well as the lymph node region in the upper inner thigh. It is crucial that the inner thigh area of the saddle chair is flat or, ideally, slightly concave, as seen in the new cushioning design of the Salli saddle chair.
A centrally gapped chair, when combined with loose-fitting clothing, significantly reduces harmful compression pressure in the fluid pathways leading to the testicles, the base of the penis, and the vulva compared to a saddle chair without a central gap.
Salli Driver
The Salli Driver product helps frequent drivers, public transport users, and office workers maintain better internal fluid circulation from the pelvic floor to the genitals, preventing pressure from spreading through the pelvic opening and harming the organs within the pelvic basin.
The swing function
The swing function in a saddle chair enhances blood circulation in the lower back and pelvis, including the pudendal ducts in the pelvic floor. The central gap is particularly important for testicular temperature regulation, as without it, it is difficult to maintain the optimal 33°C temperature while wearing normal clothing. The subconscious and repetitive movement facilitated by the swing function also accelerates bowel function, reducing inflammation in the colon and rectum, which can otherwise negatively impact pelvic organs, including the highly susceptible prostate. Swinging motion further enhances blood circulation within the pelvic basin, improving prostate health. Conventional chairs and saddle chairs without a central gap are detrimental to prostate well-being. When the prostate suffers, its size increases, leading to more frequent nighttime urination, which in turn disrupts sleep and negatively affects male health.
Standing workstations
The benefits of standing workstations have been mistakenly promoted for so long that it will take years of research-based awareness campaigns to counteract the misinformation. Standing without adverse effects is only possible in relatively short intervals (10–15 minutes).
The healthiest work chair
The healthiest work chairThe healthiest alternative for a work chair is an anatomically designed, centrally gapped, and swinging saddle chair, combined with breathable clothing and a properly adjusted workstation. A well-set desk, monitors, a recess in the desk or in the accessory cushion with padded elbow supports, contribute to better posture and all its associated benefits.
Fluid circulation (blood and lymph) is just as vital for the genitals as it is for the brain. It would be unimaginable for brain health to tolerate prolonged hours of reduced blood flow to crucial organs and tissues — yet this is precisely what happens when sitting in harmful chairs.
