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
