Frequently Asked Questions
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
I have looked at Bambach's site and it states there is a free stem upgrade for youth. I have a client who is now in middle school and needs the Medium Stem for his height. Can you help with this issue? I do not have the original purchasing information from whom the chair was purchased. Are there order numbers on the chair that I could try to locate and find to help with that? Do you offer discounts to schools purchasing chairs for their students? thank you- Barb Kline MS, OTR/L ATP
Dear Barb,
Thank you for your question. I will certainly look into it and I will talk to the Bmbach to see if they can do anything. Will you be able to find out who you bought it from?
We can certainly give you a corporate discount for your school. How many chairs would you need, please?
Why Buy From Us
The Bambach Saddle Seat is more anatomically contoured than other saddle seats. Deeply sculpted front pommel and rear cantle stabilize your pelvis in an upright orientation for healthy spinal posture. The down-side of the anatomical contour is that it either fits you like a glove (comfortable) or it doesn't (uncomfortable). If it fits you, we recommend it.
The contoured backrest is optional and usually not needed by able-bodied people since the saddle supports an upright posture naturally without a backrest. We recommend the backrest for people who become easily fatigued, who have poor balance, are very weak, or who work for prolonged periods in static postures (e.g., a microsurgeon).
Even better, every Bambach Saddle Seat is customized to fit your body type, work environment, and décor. These custom fittings include:
- Two seat size options – Classic and Classic Plus. The Classic is recommended for a woman and the Classic Plus is recommended for men.
- Three stem lengths to match your height.
- Two wheel types designed for use on hard or soft surfaces.
- Six color options.
Features:
- Standard fabric is premium, medical grade Naugahyde for easy cleaning and durability
- High-rise back design provides added stability
- Double reinforced stitching allows for extra comfort and durability
- Adjustable height and inclination help maximize custom fit
- Polished chrome base
- Seat tilts 5° backward and 10° forward for comfort.
- Meets California TB 117 flammability standards.

Never Ever Used a Saddle Chair?
The position for seating on a saddle chair varies from what you have experienced before. So initially, you may experience pains in the muscles in your haunches or the sacral vertebral bone. Don’t lose hope.
Your muscles will adjust to the new sitting habit!
Reduce your sitting time to between 45 minutes to one hour and relieve yourself for 10-15 minutes. Stand up and talk a walk around to increase circulation to your legs. After a two-week period of sitting for that length of time, you may want to extend the sitting duration. Please refrain from sitting for extended periods until you adapt to the new sitting style.
If the seat is too hard on your sitting bones, maybe it is too elevated for your comfort. In that case, the entire weight of your upper body is resting on the sacral bones. It is ideal to place your legs firmly on the ground while seated. This allows for the weight to be shared between your feet and sitting bones. Know that adjusting the chair too low may give your pelvis a backward tilt thus rounding your back into an undesirable posture. Sitting too forward may also make the chair feel too hard on you. Your haunches should be positioned just at the edge of the seat. This allows you to sit with your body tilted forward thus improving your sitting position.
The Correct Way to Sit on a Saddle Seat
Ideal Ways to get on and off your Saddle Chair
Standing beside the chair, raise one leg above the seat from the exterior to the opposite side of the chair and lower yourself into it. Standing up and moving your feet a bit forward is the right way to get off the chair .... Keep Reading

Please note the following:
Change of Mind Return
We understand that sometimes a purchase may not work out as expected. While we do accept returns for change of mind, the item must meet the following conditions:
- The product must not be assembled.
- It must be in its original packaging and in new condition.
- Fees will apply.
We encourage customers to carefully review product details before purchasing. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us for assistance in choosing the right chair.
Common "change of mind" reasons include:
- Not as comfortable as expected
- Color doesn’t match expectations (The actual color of the product may vary from what is seen in images due to factors such as camera settings, lighting conditions, and the lens used, which can affect how colors are captured. Additionally, differences in screen calibration, brightness, and contrast settings on user devices may further alter how the color appears. The material and finish of the product, along with viewing angles and shadows, can also impact perception, making the color look slightly different in person.)
- Spouse/partner/colleague didn’t approve
- Found a better option elsewhere
- Didn't realize the adjustment period required
- Impulse purchase
- Prefer a different style/model
Medical Conditions Return
If you have a specific medical condition, we strongly recommend consulting your doctor before purchasing an ergonomic chair to ensure it meets your needs. It’s also advisable to reach out to us for detailed product information before making a decision.
Please note that once a chair has been assembled, it cannot be returned. Returns are only accepted for chairs that remain unassembled and in their original packaging. This policy is in place to maintain product integrity and ensure the best experience for our customers. Fees for assembly services are non-refundable.
Important exceptions:
We cannot accept returns on certain items, including:
- Items that have been assembled.
- Items that are damaged or missing parts.
- Items that have been used.
- Items that are dirty or soiled.
- Items with missing or damaged instructions or packaging.
- Items noted on our website and/or labelled on the package as non-returnable due to health and sanitary reasons, for example, personal items, mouth-inflatable products, items that are worn next to the skin.

- Chairs: Chairs that have been configured and built to your specifications are considered custom orders and are not returnable. However, there are some exceptions. Please check the product description for details. Chairs upholstered COM (Customer's Own Material) are not returnable.
- Desks: Desks usually ship via freight delivery. Desks with standard specifications are returnable under standard terms, however, freight can be very expensive and original packaging may not be in reusable condition. In addition, most desk manufacturers impose restocking fees for returns. Therefore, for practical purposes most buyers consider desks to be non-returnable.
Final determination of whether a product is in the unused, resalable condition is at the sole discretion of Sit Healthier. Items deemed non-returnable shall be charged a restocking fee or returned to the customer at their expense, at our discretion.
