Dentist
I’m a dental surgeon in clinical practice for the last 33 years. I’ve been a proud owner and user of Salli Saddle stools since 2014-2015. Ever since I’ve started using these stools, their superb ergonomic design has been instrumental in reducing my back problems and plantar fascistic problems to negligible levels. Most dentists don’t realise the professional hazard of working in a sitting position, and with the wrong posture, which places an immense strain on the posterior chain of muscles. The unique and intelligent design of the Salli saddle automatically corrects the slouch that one adopts on a conventional working stool. This is my third Salli saddle and I’m delighted with them. At the end of a grueling 8-10 hour day, I’m fatigue and pain free

Practice and sit for a few hours put stress on my back. Moreover, many colleagues have experienced back problems. Therefore, I chose to move my back on a bench that is comfortable and can protect me from injury. As a Salli user, I am very satisfied with this bench. Salli, sit happy, work happy.

I’ve had Salli since 2005, but for some reason I started using another chair and my back started to ache. I became stiff and felt like an old woman. Massage did not help. I started using my old Salli again and my problems disappeared. I thought the problems were due to my new patient chair but it was simply my chair.

I bought two Salli SwingFits with Allround armrests last year. Both I and my receptionist are very pleased with this chair because it gives so much variation. I myself use the armrest in front of or behind me when I talk to the patients and as a side support when I work in the patient’s mouth. I can really recommend this combination to others.

A number of my staff – dentists, dental hygienists and dental assistants – in my dental practice have suffered back pain at work. We have purchased a number of Salli seats over the years (more and more staff requesting them over other dental stools available) and these have enabled the staff to work their shifts pain-free; happy staff = great team morale! Highly recommend these chairs to anyone suffering back issues!

I purchased my Salli Swingfit 4 years after graduating dentistry as I was having some upper and lower back issues and could feel that my posture was poor at work. My only regret is not having purchased the chair sooner to prevent these issues from arising in the first place! It is a very comfortable chair and of high quality. Since purchasing the chair I have also fallen pregnant and I think working pregnant would have been even more uncomfortable if I did not have this chair and I have been able to work up until almost full term without any issues. I highly recommend the Salli products.

I have a bad back and cervical spondylitis. I had a lot of trouble as you would assume and looked at my options. Used the Bambach chair, a very well built chair but extremely heavy and cumbersome. I got a Salli, the very basic version in 2012 and have said goodbye to lower back troubles. This new one I just got has the new wheels and is a treat to use. I will be ordering the new wheels for the older chair as welll. Highly recommended to anyone working as dentists technicians.

I chose salli because it is the best chair that makes me sit straight while I am working. Especially while working with a 5a microscope.I t was very easy to start using Salli. I recomend it to all my dentist colleagues.

I had problems with lockups and cricks in my back and neck. They been virtually absent after I started using Salli Swing two years ago.

Having spent almost 20 years practicing dentistry, my back was starting to become an issue. Over the years I have tried every other saddle seat on the market, and though they afforded my back some relief, there was considerable discomfort associated with the seat itself and lack of tilt in these chairs. After much research I found the perfect chair – the Salli seat. Initially I was looking at importing this directly from Europe, but to my delight Fairway did all the hard work. The split seat which is unique to the Salli Saddle Chair means that I can sit comfortable for hours and the range of movement means that I can sit in almost any position for an extended length of time. We started with two chairs ten months ago, we now have four.

Before I used Salli, I had lower back problems due to normal chairs not suitable or supportive. I started to use Salli Saddle 2009 and never looked back. No more back or shoulder problems.

I have been using Salli Saddle Chair for many years, and it gives me a better working position and less fatigue both in my back and my legs. In addition to that, the chair enables the user to move around the patient easily and freely.

Dental hygienist
I’ve been using a Salli saddle chair for 20+ years. This has been the reason why I’ve been able to practice in my dental hygiene profession more than 32 years. This has been undoubtedly one of the best purchases I have ever made. Thank you for engineering this fine piece of equipment. Too bad more people do not invest in their bodies, enabling better ergonomics in the profession with longer careers.

I am really thrilled with my Salli Classic Stool, which I purchased approximately ten years ago after having back surgery. I have been a dental hygienist for 29 years and I truly believe the Sallli Saddle Stool enables me to continue my long career. For the first nineteen years I had horrible posture and neck pain. Now I sit straight and can also reach the patients’ mouths better since I am sitting higher. I carry my “saddle” to each dental office! It has saved my career, not to mention my back and neck!
I am also a dressage rider, and I must say that the Salli Saddle Stool truly puts one in the correct dressage position. It thrills me that I can perfect my dressage position while working on teeth!

By sitting on a saddle chair like the Salli chair, I avoid problems between the shoulder blades, in the lumbar spine and suffering from buffalo hump. I feel that I get a good posture in the body as the chair is designed as it is. With the ergonomically designed two-part seat, the pelvis can be rotated slightly forward, as in standing, which means that my back retains its natural curve and the head falls into a straight vertical line with the back, hip and heel, when seen from the side. In other words, just as an ergonomic work chair should be.

I had the opportunity to test Salli Swing at Sjukgymnastdagarna in Göteborg, Sweden. I thought that I was already sitting right, but because I sit so much in my work I was ready to try changing my office chair to Salli Swing. I used to have a 12 years old traditional office chair that had a lot of adjustments to make sitting ergonomic and good, but I don’t always live like I preach as a physiotherapist. I often sat in a bad position, which resulted in a tired lower back and affected the wellbeing of my whole body.
Now that I’m using Salli Swing I seem to be more active while sitting. There was a certain adjustment period in the beginning, but now it feels all right. My back feels better and I have started using my height-adjustable table more, and even work standing at times. I vary positions between sitting and standing, thanks to the new chair.
I can really recommend this chair.

Some of my patients suffer from head, neck and back pains that in many cases are related to sitting. Long lasting static load creates strain on the spine, back muscles, and ligaments. These tissues overstrain, loose their tone, and cause improper posture. Sitting for extended periods of time in an improper position also creates pressure on the respiratory system, other internal organs, blood circulation, and lymphatic systems.
It is important that our sitting should be as conscious and dynamic as possible. Height-adjustable desks stimulate dynamic sitting by making it possible to alternate sitting and standing throughout the day. While searching for solutions that would promote the correct and optimal sitting position I have discovered that a saddle chair is one of the most effective solutions.
Saddle chair allows distributing the load between the spine, hips and legs, By using this type of chair, at the correct sitting height, we help our bodies to maintain the physiological curve of the spine, and to keep our back, hips and leg muscles active. Some saddle chair models have an adjustable space between the two parts of the seat, which is important for the male sexual anatomy. Moreover, it is possible to easily adapt the chair to the anatomy of narrow or wide hips and coccyx.
The overall effect is also very beneficial, because it eases breathing, relaxes muscles and diaphragm, as well as helps to get rid of health disorders caused by an improper sitting posture. All these advantages are combined in Salli chairs.

Optician
For over five months now, I have had the opportunity to use a Salli saddle chair. My experiences have been very positive. As a matter of fact, anything negative or reproachable has not come up. The model I have been using is the MultiAdjuster, which has the seat width adjustment.
I have been an optician for over 20 years now, and I have sat on many kinds of chairs. Some have had backrests and even arm rests. The seat and backrests have usually been adjustable to a certain degree. Optician’s daily work includes eye exams and contact lens fittings. That means that I sit in front of a desk or behind a microscope while working. The sitting is not continuous, but on a daily basis I sit for 20–30 minutes at a time for approximately 8–14 times a day. When I’m doing an eye examination, I cannot sit still, since I have to be able move around in front of the patient. Problems of the lower back, pain, tiredness, numbing, and blood circulation problems in the legs have been troubling me in the past.
Now I know how easy and effortless it is to sit on a proper chair. After using my Salli chair, I have not had any back problems or numbness in my legs. The chair moves around lightly, but is still very sturdy to sit on. The chair is not unstable or wobbly. I don’t get the numb, tingling feeling in my legs anymore and the sitting position is relaxed.
I have quite short legs, but the Salli chair can be adjusted low enough. It’s good to sit on a Salli, my posture stays good and moving around is easy. It’s the best work chair I have ever sat on.

Neurosurgeon
About two years ago we first tested the Salli MultiAdjuster ergonomic chair for surgeons. It came to our attention through cooperation with a local Salli dealer in our project on the improvement of ergonomics in the OR. Especially for the field of neurosurgery, an ergonomic sitting position is crucial, since many of the surgical procedures last for several hours.
After extensive testing of the MultiAdjuster chair for surgeons we found the ergonomic sitting position, especially together with lumbar backrest, very useful, especially during surgeries where the patient is positioned in a half-sitting position. In this position, the surgeon has to work with his arms extended, leaning backwards in order to be able to work on the posterior cranial fossa. Sitting on the ergonomic MultiAdjuster chair forces the neurosurgeon to keep an upright posture, and by doing so keeps the strain on the lower back to a minimum.
At first, several of my colleagues were hesitant to use this chair due its unusual saddle shape. However, after testing it, it became very obvious that there is a big advantage in using this ergonomic chair for long procedures, and several chairs were ordered by our department. It proved to be very convenient in its handling in terms of changing the height and the tilt of the seat.
It is my personal opinion that over time the MultiAdjuster chair for surgeons reduces the stress on the back of a neurosurgeon. Since I have started to use the Salli MultiAdjuster chair, I have not gone back to using the conventional bar-stool-type chairs. For me personally, the saddle type chair, especially with a lower back support, is one of the best ergonomic chairs for the OR on the market.
