Bariatric rated stools can be difficult to find but ErgoVerse actually offers two models that are rated up to 440 lbs. The NOSTND Perching Comfort PLUS Saddle Seat is designed to help individuals with larger builds position themselves as close as possible to a raised workstation, particularly those built on top of base cabinets or shelves. Unlike the seats on a leaning seat or traditional stool, the large plush saddle on the NOSTND is designed to be straddled. Seated posture on the NOSTND is more upright, with the heels positioned behind the bend of the knees, rather than extended forward of the knees as they would be in a leaning position. By moving the feet back, you are able to move in closer to flat-fronted work surfaces than might otherwise be possible. As a result, the NOSTND Perching Comfort PLUS Saddle Seat helps to reduce the risk of overreach injuries to the muscles of the shoulders and back, and the risk of injury to the muscles of the sides and mid-section that can be caused by sitting sideways along the base of the workstation and twisting at the waist to get close enough to its surface. By supporting the majority ofyou’re your weight on the seat, the NOSTND also helps to reduce the load generally borne by the feet and legs. Overall fatigue, and the risk of strain on the joints and tissues of the lower limbs can be greatly reduced.
Both the saddle style seat and the large back feature 3" cushioning and both are height adjustable. The height of the seat can be adjusted between 23.25" and 28.75". The height adjustment range of the back is determined by the seat position. A handle and large rollers on the back glides enable the NOSTND to be easily moved as required.
Larger individuals looking for a more traditional style of seat may be interested in another bariatric rated model from ErgoVerse, the RSTMOR Drafting PLUS Chair.
