What is a saddle stool and when would you use one instead of a drafting chair?

A saddle stool has a horse-saddle-shaped seat that positions the user with hips tilted forward and the spine in a natural lumbar curve — used in applications requiring full rotation and forward-leaning access like dental labs, surgical environments, and some drafting work. A drafting chair is more broadly applicable and includes back support for longer sessions. Saddle stools are a specialty item. FindOfficeFurniture.com carries both — call 888-719-4960 for guidance.
