The CITZ Sit-Stand Stool from Mey Chair Systems is intended to provide industrial workers with a seating solution that can be an aid to improving their overall health and to encourage greater safety in the workplace. The wider stance when straddling a saddle seat provides users with a much wider range of reach, while at the same time ensuring excellent stability and control. The upright stance also provided by saddle sitting is known to encourage upper body movement which can lead to better and deeper breathing and has the potential to improve overall blood flow.

Both the seat and back support are formed from firmly cushioned self-surfaced polyurethane foam that can be easily cleaned, ideal for workplaces where cleaning may be necessary. The fibreglass-reinforced base is equipped with special self-braking casters which permit the CITZ to roll freely when in use but brake when the user lifts their weight. This ensures that the seat remains in the same position from which they stood, adding to the safety and enhancing the ability of the seat to aid users in maintaining focus on the task at hand. A full 360° of free rotation enables users to easily align to equipment or reach other work areas as needed. The gas lift provides a seat height anywhere between 20.9" and 26.4" and the seat also has the option of forward tilt up to 15°. This tilted seat position rotates the pelvis forward, providing a more natural alignment of the back--both healthier and more comfortable for many users. For users who need or are looking for back support, this chair is equipped with a removable height and angle adjustable back support.

Note: Some users with broader frames may find the firmness of the concave edges on the back less than ideal for comfort. The outer dimensions of the back support are 14" wide with a 2.5" deep curvature in the middle.
