Product Resources
Why a saddle design?
The Bambach Saddle Seat was invented by Mary Gale, an occupational therapist and lifelong horseback rider. While incorporating horseback riding into her treatment plans, she made an intriguing observation: patients who required extra support to sit in a regular chair could sit comfortably and unsupported on horseback.
Over time, Mary became convinced that the saddle posture, which allows the spine to maintain its natural “S” shape, was far healthier than traditional seating. Her belief was later supported by research, which confirmed that ordinary chairs force the spine into an unnatural “C” shape, placing stress on the spinal discs and surrounding muscles.
Determined to bring this ergonomic breakthrough to everyday seating, Mary collaborated with an occupational therapist, physiotherapist, and engineer to develop the first Bambach Saddle Seat in 1988.
The Bambach vs. Conventional Seating
With so many seats labeled “ergonomic,” how do you separate the imitators from the innovators? Look at what they do, not what they say.
Conventional flat seating—by its very design—prevents the pelvis from supporting your spine and keeping your upper body in proper alignment. Additionally, flat chairs tend to bend your hips at 90 degrees to your spine, causing it to deform into a compressed “C” shape. This unnatural curvature increases stress on the discs, which can lead to pain, with the 4th and 5th lumbar discs being the “classic” trouble spots.
The Bambach Saddle Seat is radically different in its design. Unlike conventional flat seating, the Bambach places the pelvis beneath the spine, enabling it to return to its natural “S” curve. This means your lumbar discs aren’t put under pressure, helping to avoid back pain and related problems.
Plus, the Bambach keeps your hips at the most ergonomic angle of 45 degrees, allowing for back and thigh muscles to be at their most relaxed.
