How to Choose a Comfortable Saddle Stool

The unique saddle-shaped seat and backrest design of a saddle stool helps you keep your back straight while sitting. Do you think it's a harsh, uncomfortable posture-correcting stool?
No, no, no. Let HomeyFad show you how to choose a comfortable saddle stool.

  • Choose an adjustable-height saddle stool. Swivel an adjustable-height saddle stool to precisely adjust to your most comfortable height. If you don't have one, choose one that's 9-11 inches lower than the countertop to ensure a comfortable sitting position.
  • Choose a cushioned stool if possible. The firmness of the seat cushion also affects comfort. For commercial settings like restaurants and cafes, cushioning is not necessary and is easier to clean. However, for extended use at home, an upholstered bar stool is recommended.
  • Comfortable features such as a backrest and footrest. A backrest provides lumbar support, significantly improving comfort during extended sitting. With footrests, it can provide a place for your feet, reducing leg strain.

With this understanding, when choosing a saddle stool, pay attention to these details to ensure you're comfortable and practical.

Questions & Answers

Q: Are saddle seat bar stools comfortable?
A: The contoured design of saddle bar stools encourages a natural, open hip posture, making them surprisingly comfortable for short periods of time. However, they lack back support, making them uncomfortable for extended periods. Opt for a saddle bar stool with a backrest for added comfort.
Q: What is the most comfortable type of bar stool?
A: Adjustable bar stools with padded seats, backrests, and a footrest are generally the most comfortable. They provide proper support, promote good posture, and allow for customization to fit your body and counter height.
Q: Should I get counter height or bar height stools? 
A: The choice depends solely on your counter's height. Measure from the floor to the underside of your counter: counter height stools (around 24-26" tall) pair with 36" high counters, while bar height stools (around 28-30" tall) are for 42" high bars.
