Salli Light Swing, a lightweight saddle chair with a swing mechanism, offers top ergonomics at an affordable price. The ergonomic seat follows the body’s movements, and various forward and side bends work like Pilates movements, strengthening the muscles of the lower back, pelvic area, and abdomen. The seat that follows your movements helps maintain the natural arch of the back even in tasks that require reaching forward.

The standard-sized seat supports a good sitting posture and feels comfortable, especially if your pelvis is not particularly narrow and your muscles are flexible. The narrower Slim seat is ideal for narrow-hipped individuals and also provides comfort for those with tight hip muscles or relatively short legs. This lightweight and affordable chair has all the benefits of a two-part chair. It is well-suited for schools and home offices.

Lawyer

I have worked as a senior lawyer for 20+ years, before which I was a professional Rugby player. This combination has meant that my lower back has always caused me some problems. I had tried all manner of ergonomic seating. The only which has led to a demonstrable, marked improvement is Salli. I cannot recommend Salli seating highly enough, particularly for those of us who sit for long hours each day.

I had a rupture two years ago and even though it is now almost healed I still can not sit on regular chairs without having problems with the back again. I sit on the Salli chair in the office and vary it with a pilates ball and standing. Recently I sat in a car for six hours and got trouble again, but after taking the Salli chair to the expo with me and siting on it for a day the problems were gone. Thank you for a great product.

I love my beautiful chair from Salli that I use for office work. I’m really looking forward to have Sallis also in my home-office around the kitchen table. Highly recommended!

About 10 years ago I bought a Salli Saddle Chair for my office, since I had had a herniated disk.

Today I can say that not only this back problem is overcome, but I have noticed that there have also been advantages in genital health. Thanks to the divided seat surface of the saddle chair, a relaxed sitting is possible. In addition to the demonstrably improved PSA and libido values, even the potency has become stronger, which is beneficial for a loving partnership, too.

Retrospectively I can say: The purchase of a Salli Saddle Chair was a stroke of luck in many ways

My back started showing symptoms in 2006, and after a couple of years I was in a situation where I could not sit for longer than five minutes at a time. That’s when my physiotherapist suggested I should try a saddle chair, which makes you sit in a completely different position compared to a regular office chair.

I got myself a Salli MultiAdjuster chair and a Salli Manager table at my employer’s expense in autumn 2008. After a couple of weeks of getting used to the workstation and finding the right adjustments, going back to the conventional way of sitting was no longer an option. Now I can sit in front of my computer for three hours without even noticing.

Having an electrically height-adjustable table is a must if you are planning on using a saddle chair. When I change my sitting position I might also adjust the height of the table by a few centimeters. Sometimes it’s nice to work standing up and then the table needs to be even higher.

The versatile controls of the MultiAdjuster chair helped me to find a sitting position where my back doesn’t become numb or get locked. The two-part seat also eliminated pressure between the legs, which was clearly noticeable when I first tried a one-part seat. I also use the Nipsu support for my mouse-hand, wrists and elbows to keep my shoulders and neck relaxed.

As my back pains have eased off, I have enjoyed work more and been more efficient. I have recommended the Salli workstation to my co-workers as well, since in my opinion, an ergonomically correct workstation can prevent back problems from developing. Even the employer saves money, if he takes care that the employees stay fit enough to work.

My working days have always been largely spent in front of a computer screen. Years ago, neck pain, which was the sum of many factors, began to become a problem. Due to existing neck problems, I started using a saddle chair, Salli Nature Swing, as my office chair for the first time at my previous job. After getting used to it, the saddle chair and an electric table turned out to be the best possible combination. In a short time, both all neck problems and general numbness due to sitting disappeared. Several years went without back problems, until covid-19 hit and work moved to home office, which lacked these luxuries. The time spent at the home office quickly brought back the neck pain.

In the early days of the pandemic, I changed jobs and acquiring a Salli was a matter of course. However, it took me a year before I got round to getting Salli Nature SwingFit. Although I knew how to watch out for poor work ergonomics, that year showed that I missed the work ergonomics a saddle chair provides. An electric desk and a high quality saddle chair that will serve for years are definitely the best purchases for the office.

So why Salli Nature SwingFit? I have tried different saddle chairs over the years, but so far I have not found a more suitable model for myself than Salli. I like the surface of the Nature’s seat, which has a pleasant feel and appearance. The swing mechanism is essential, because one always moves a little at the workstation and the chair follows your movements. The Fit function, on the other hand, brings little adjustability.

My neck was very stiff and my feet hurt after sitting in front of my work desk for a long time. So, when I had the chance to try Salli Saddle Chair I seized the opportunity. First I had Salli MultiAdjuster in my home office, because I already had a height-adjustable table there. At the moment I have also Salli SwingFit at work. I prefer Salli SwingFit because of the slightly moving seat, it is very comfortable when I for example want to take a file from a bottom self. Salli chair lives up to its promise. The condition of my neck muscles, my posture and the circulation in my feet have all improved. It takes a few weeks to get used to Salli, but I can warmly recommend trying it.

Journalist

I’ve been working as a journalist and copywriter for 13 years now. Previously I hardly paid any attention to my posture because I had no problems with my back, I exercise a lot and consider myself to be in a good physical condition.

However, everything changed in 2012 when I was hit by a car while crossing a road. After having injuries, especially in my knees, the posture in which I work has become much more important.

On my Salli Saddle Chair I can sit in a relaxed, comfortable position with enough support, and my injured knee does not get tired like it did under the sitting pressure on a traditional chair. The circulation is better, and because I don’t get physically tired, I can work longer hours and be more effective. Coming back to work after the accident was made so much easier because of the swinging Salli Saddle Chair and the electrically adjustable table. I can say that my quality of life has really improved! I can work in various positions during the day, and even work standing.
I admit that I was a bit skeptical about saddle chairs, and especially about the adjustable table, but after having tried the combination I cannot understand why I didn’t acquire them earlier!

I can recommend Salli Saddle Chair and an electrically adjustable table from the bottom of my heart.

I use my Salli Chin Chair and Small Office Desk at the office. They keep me energetic throughout the whole day. I also use this set up at home. It is beautiful, easy to move and doesn’t take much space. I even use them when reading or doing skincare and makeup in any corner I want. The height is easily adjusted and therefor it is suitable even for my child for reading or writing. All my family members love the Salli Saddle Chair and the desk!

I experienced a revolutionary change in my ability to concentrate when I started using the two seated Salli Saddle Chair. The Salli Small SwayFit is my everyday companion both at home and in the office. The slightly swinging seat keeps my core active and my pelvis tilted in the right position, so no pressure prevents the blood and fluids from circulating freely in the body. This results in more focus and better achievements.

Lucy, Office worker at Salli Shenzhen


I work in an office and use Salli Saddle Chair every day. I will not consider any other chair in the future. Before I got my Salli I had problems with the lower back. Since I got Salli and an electrically adjustable table I have had no more problems with my lower back. I have had this chair now for about two years. This chair is heavenly!

Salli Saddle Chair is fantastic to sit on, and it looks great, too. My back pains were relieved already during the first day when I used Salli; I used Salli for the whole day and my back didn’t hurt in the evening. This has never happened before. Quite unbelievable!

Pregnant woman

During my pregnancy I have really preferred Salli to the normal chair. My tail bone starts to ache very quickly if I sit for a long time on a traditional chair. By that I mean a chair on which the angles in the hips and knees are 90 degrees, and the legs are side by side while sitting. On those kind of chairs I also lose the good posture easily and start to slouch. When sitting on Salli I can pay better attention to my posture. It is also beneficial in Salli sitting that the weigh is evenly distributed on sitting bones and doesn’t make the tailbone hurt. My legs and back are in a natural position and nothing presses the stomach.

I especially like Salli SwingFit as it enables me to swing my pelvis during the workday. It is a lovely thought, both for me and the baby, that by doing so I can enhance the circulation in the stomach and pelvic areas, and legs. Also the little swelling that occurs during pregnancy in the legs is better in control when I use Salli. On Salli SwingFit I can roll in my office to the printer, reach for papers and things on shelves, just like I did before my baby bump.

I recommend Salli during pregnancy on the basis of the above-mentioned facts.

Furniture factory manager

Lennart Mainow is 71 years old manager of a Swedish company that produces height-adjustable work tables. Mainow practices what he preaches. During a work day he sits for only three hours. Despite this, a couple of years ago his doctor discovered an alarmingly high PSA value. Was he developing a prostate cancer? In addition to general health tips, Lennart was told to use loose clothing. He should also avoid sitting for long periods of time, because this increases pressure on the male genitals.

On an expo where he displayed his own products, Lennart started talking to a sales person from Salli Systems. Lennart Mainow decided to try Salli Saddle Chair at work.
– I sat on the chair for about a year and on the next control the values had improved. Danger was over.

Lennart laughs at himself a bit, because after this he changed back to a traditional chair. On the following doctor’s check-up, his values had gotten worse again. He claims he hadn’t changed his lifestyle, food habits or the way he dresses. He had only changed the chair.
– It might be a coincidence, says Lennart, and admits that from now on he will hold on to the Salli chair.

HögforsGST is a pioneer in heavy metal industry when it comes to using Salli Saddle Chairs to improve staff wellbeing. On Salli chairs it is easy to sit in an ergonomic position. Our experience is clearly positive.

One day of sick leave costs the employer about 350–400 euros. The management realized that the investment in the seats would pay for itself many times over already during the first year.
The first chairs were given to people who had problems with their lower backs. Those who usually suffered from inconvenience and pain after work now felt no pain at all.

Salli Systems has several good solutions for the manufacturing industry. The chairs have spark protected upholstery, and one model is especially designed for welding where support is needed for the wrists. This was brilliant because we have to weld pipes of different sizes. The welder can sit on a Salli without having to think about the posture and can concentrate on the seam. Work is efficient, and the back will not become stiff or numb.

Stretching Support has also been good for us because it makes maintaining the position little easier. Salli also has large hard castors that work well in our industrial production halls. We have machines of different heights, but Salli could offer the perfect chair solutions for each height and also a chair for very heavy users (over 120 kg).

Salli’s solutions are ideal for heavy metal industry, where part of the work must be done in sitting position. There really is a difference in the result when we use modern and ergonomic furniture. One sits in the correct position and even those with a hunched posture learned to sit right.

Because of its special construction, the saddle chair offers advantages for the assembly area. In activities that require frequent change of positions, the employees (assuming the work area has level floors without tripping hazard) can shift to several different positions without difficulty and therefore use their musculoskeletal system variably during assembly activities by assuming different postures.

Observations at a pre-assembly workstation in the construction vehicle industry (asphalt paver) showed that a change between, e.g. a half-sitting position (on the Salli Saddle Chair) and a standing position, permitted continuation of the activity at the same work height in different positions using different muscle groups, thereby preventing the effects of forced postures, such as those resulting from standing up continuously. These advantages were confirmed by various older employees (50 years and older), as well as by younger employees with intervertebral disk-related ailments, the latter caused in part by the fact that they were standing for long periods of time.

In another case, an insurance company became involved in procuring the Salli Saddle Chair for an employee with significant limitations of the musculoskeletal system (chronic polyarthritis in the intertarsal joints). The work involved taking a part from a pallet cage, inserting it into a press, then removing the item and depositing it into another pallet cage. It was only possible to do this standing up, due to the relatively large range of mobility, but with the Salli Saddle Chair it could be performed sitting down or – if so desired – by switching between sitting and standing up, which relieves the strain on the intertarsal joints in particular. Full-time work was therefore possible again.

These positive evaluations in individual cases can easily be seen as improvement in the work stages in terms of occupational medicine.

The Salli chair offers flexible motion sequences, which probably could not be achieved by the usual rolling stools or other sit-stand furniture currently on the market. In addition, the “riding position” on the Salli chair promotes a healthy spine position.

In cases of rehabilitation where there is a danger of an employee losing his or her job, the situation can be resolved by using this chair. Insurance company, or other authorities, should not be forgotten, if they provide compensation.

Carpenter

Due to a serious prostate disease, it was not possible for me to participate in working life as a carpenter, since I had considerable pain when sitting. We sit a lot at our workplace.

Therefore, the German pension insurance granted me a Salli Saddle Chair (chair model: Salli Twin with a stretching support).

The two-part seat, the inclination adjustment and the stretching support help me a lot. After only 3–4 months since starting using the Salli Saddle Chair, I am pleased and very happy to be able to participate in working life again, and now without pain.

I have been using a Salli Saddle Chair since 2007, and I just bought my third Salli. I’m very pleased with the chairs and we use them daily daily; actually we only sit on anything else during coffee breaks.

There is a lot to do in industrial ergonomics. I’m happy to invest in it because I can immediately see the increase in work productivity and the decrease in sick leaves. Even though I only employ two people I believe that an investment in ergonomics will be worthwhile. Besides, it’s nice to work when you have a comfortable chair.

All our chairs have the two-part seat which is very important in this male-dominated field. Also our guys can keep their good posture for the whole day, because the chair does not press the crotch and they do not have to round the lower back to avoid the uncomfortable pressure, not even when they are bending forward.

Hairdresser

I have been working in the beauty industry for more than ten years, and have my own company now. The work of a hairdresser is physically stressful because the legs, back, shoulders and hands get very tired and strained. I had not previously thought that work chairs could really be significantly different. Mainly because there are hardly any differences between them, regardless of the manufacturer. But after starting using my Salli I realized that this is something really different.

In the beginning, my unused weak muscles became sore when they had to do little work to maintain the new position, but after a week I had adjusted to the change. What especially appeals to me in Salli is that you can see that it is a high-quality product and a professional solution. There is no going back after you’ve tried it! At times I have had to sit on other saddle chairs, but after using Salli they do not offer the support I need. They feel more like toys. I really recommend Salli, because in the long run the small, daily things affect our well-being. If you want a long and rewarding career, you need to pay a lot of attention to ergonomics. You won’t regret that later!

I can highly recommend Salli two-part saddle chairs, they are perfect for us hairdressers, who often have problems with shoulders and lower back, because we often work in difficult positions. But with this amazing chair I could already after two days notice a clear improvement in my lower back and my work position, when I did the cutting. Now I get the support I need and I’m sitting much more correctly with the back upright as we should.

The chair is also very easy to move around with because of the fantastic Inliner castors. Salli recommend Inliners for hairdressers, because they do not collect hair like the standard castors do, they roll easily on the floor, and they are so easy to clean.
