When choosing a saddle chair, it is important to consider the height of the seat, the width of the base, and the adjustability of the backrest if used. Saddle chairs are available in a variety of sizes to accommodate different body types, and many models offer adjustable backrests to ensure a comfortable fit. 

Always consider how long you’ll be sitting in the chair each day. If you’ll be sitting for long periods of time, look for a chair with adjustable height and tilt features. You should also look for a chair with good lumbar support. Additionally, it’s important to make sure that the width of the seat is appropriate for your body size. A good rule of thumb is to choose a seat that is about half the width of your hips.
