CORRECT SITTING POSITION AND SEAT HEIGHT
In the optimal sitting position the angle between your thighs and upper body is about 135
degrees and your heels are positioned almost directly under your hip joints. In this position
your pelvis will tilt forward so that your lower back forms a natural curve, and your upper back
will straighten. Legs should be relaxed, not hanging in the air, and feet should rest on the floor.
Thighs should be relaxed against the chair, forming a 90 degree angle relative to each other.
On the average, on a saddle chair one sits about 25–40 cm (10"–16") higher than customary.To

TIPS FOR ADJUSTING
TABLE HEIGHT
Adjust the table a bit higher for
passive visual tasks (e.g. inter-
net, reading) and a bit lower
(3–4 cm) for active writing.
NOTE!
The sitting position on Salli Saddle Chair differs from the traditional chair. Instead of passively sitting in one position,
the user's muscles and body work actively. This means that saddle chair sitting often demands some getting used
to. Starting to use the Salli Saddle Chair is like starting a new sport – in the beginning your muscles and tissues can
get sore. The sitting bones carry the weight of the upper body, which might cause your buttocks to feel sore in the
beginning. Some people get used to the new sitting position in just one day, some take months to get used to it.
ASSORTED TIPS
Remember to adjust the table and chair height according to the instructions above.
Let your body get used to the new way of sitting: don't be alarmed by the discom-
fort and aches you might feel in the beginning.
Learn to use the chair as a tool and learn to use your body while sitting.
Remember to take breaks.
Sit high and back enough.
After the introductory phase sitting on a correctly adjusted Salli is comfortable!
find your optimal sitting position and seat height, do the fol-
lowing: Raise the seat so high that your feet hang in the air.
Relax and let your thighs and pelvis stretch for 1–2 minutes.
Let gravity do the stretching for you. Then slowly lower the
chair with the lever until your heels touch the floor.
In the right position the buttocks and the back edge of the
chair are level with each other. Sitting too far in the front
diminishes both comfortability and sitting health.
TABLE HEIGHT
The standard table height is about 72 cm, but with Salli Saddle Chairs the table
needs to be more than 80 cm high. We recommend an electronically adjustable
table, see www.salli.com.
When you sit at the correct height, the optimal table height will be approximately
at the height of your elbows. If your table cannot be adjusted to the proper height,
you can raise it with our height adjustment tubes or by some other means.
A table positioned too high (Picture 2) or too low (Picture 3) can cause back, shoul-
der and neck problems.
Your elbows should be
relaxed and resting on
table padding, with your
arms at the sides of your
body.
MOVING AROUND WITH SALLI
You can easily move sideways by pushing with one foot and pulling with the other
(Picture). Place things you need around in such a way that you need to roll and
reach to different heights; this is good from the point of view of sitting health,
because moving activates muscles and metabolism. Instructions for easy and
efficient exercises are available at Salli Systems and on www.salli.com.
Notice!
Hard floors and shoes with soft soles make moving around with Salli easy. Be
careful not to lose control of the chair!
