The Salli Swing was developed to offer saddle users the ability to move during sitting. The key to this functionality is a highly engineered spring that is integrated into the mechanism under the seat top. The spring not only facilitates seated movement in three directions, but also restrains movement so you always feel in total control during active sitting. The ability to move during sitting is most popular in dental professionals who are looking to build core muscle strength.
Another key feature of this stool is the fixed split between the two parts of the saddle, which is most popular with males. The split is designed to reduce pressure from the weight of the body on the perineal area and redistribute it to the sitting bones. This has been particularly popular in a number of men who find that solid saddle-stool sitting compresses their genital area. For females we recommend the adjustable split equivalent which is called the Swing Fit.
The Adjustability:
- Patented perineal pressure redistribution design
• Internal active movement technology designed to develop core muscle strength
• Seat height adjustment

The Range Explained
Out of the 10 different stools within the Salli range 95% of dentists will select from what we call the Salli core range which includes the Twin, Multiadjuster, Swing and Swing Fit. The first thing to note is that all 4 stools have the same iconic seat top. The table below is designed to highlight the key similarities and differences between each stool.

Key Questions
Who should use the Swing?
The vast majority of people who trial one of our Swing chairs get on very well. We have found a small number of individuals, who have recently had back surgery and have very limited core stability, tend to find the dynamic nature of the stool a little challenging and for these individuals we have had much better success with a fixed lever seat such as a Twin or Multi. We have a number of years of experience helping customers find the right stool for their needs and so to access a free Salli product consultation with one of our Physiotherapists, please contact us.
How far does the seat move?
Whilst the seat can move in 3 dimensions, the actual range of movement is extremely well controlled. The seat top moves less than 5 degrees in each direction. By strictly controlling the range of movement, the stool facilitates active sitting whilst enabling dentists to still perform precise dental work.
What is the difference between the Swing and Swing Fit?
Both stools have exactly the same core features and the only difference between them is that the split between the two parts of the saddle is fixed on the swing but not on the swing fit. Indeed, on the swing-fit you can adjust the width and angle between the two sides of the split seat, making it more suitable for females whilst the fixed split is more suitable for men?
