What types of back support are found on drafting stools?

Drafting stool back support comes in several forms: a simple padded backrest pad attached to a post (very minimal support but better than nothing), a contoured plastic or mesh back panel at lumbar height, a full seatback with lumbar and upper back support similar to a task chair, and saddle or perch designs with no back at all. For extended use, a full seatback with lumbar support is the most comfortable option. Low back pads are suitable for occasional use or tasks where the user frequently moves on and off the stool. For applications where the user needs to be able to spin and reach all around, a lower back support that doesn't interfere with rotation is preferred. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960.
