Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


The benefits of using a Bambach

How does the Bambach Saddle Seat help you sit more healthily?

A. Basically, the Bambach supports your pelvis in the same position it’s in when you are standing. This ensures that when you sit, your spine is in a natural ‘S’ shape, so you sit easily and effortlessly upright. The result is a dramatic reduction in the likelihood of suffering from back pain, muscular pains, or any posture related problems. To see what lies at the root of the Bambach’s amazing therapeutic effect, read our short Bambach story.

What are the benefits of using a Bambach?

The instant you begin using a Bambach, you’ll feel a positive difference. And after a while, you’ll wonder why you ever felt comfortable on your old seat. Users of our ergonomic seating solutions have reported a massive range of benefits, from simple back pain relief to being a life-changing experience. For a full list of the benefits of using the Bambach, read the section: The benefits of sitting on a Bambach.

Are the benefits medically proven?

Yes. There is a massive amount of evidence, from research carried out across the world, that most conventional seats cause posture related problems. And the Bambach has been scientifically proven to help reduce or avoid these problems. If you’d like to see proof, watch our brief video: The science behind the Bambach and visit our pages containing research papers.

Who can benefit from using a Bambach Saddle Seat?

Anyone who does a lot of sitting, really. And that’s almost everyone. In fact, statistics show that we sit, on average, for nearly 9 hours a day! So it’s no wonder that 80% of adults suffer back pain at some stage in their life. However, some groups of people are at more risk than others of suffering posture-related problems, so we’ve developed Bambachs to meet their specific needs. There is a Bambach for dentists and their team, a Bambach for children with additional needs, and a Bambach for back pain, rehabilitation, or adult additional needs. There’s also a Bambach for hospitals, industry, office and home.

Can the Bambach be customised to my needs?

Absolutely! Our seats offer a wide range of options and extras. Why not see what options are available and even customise your seat online.

What are the benefits of using a Backrest on the Bambach Saddle Seat

A backrest is not essential but has a number of potential benefits: The benefits of using a backrest


Specifying your Bambach

Q. Which size should I choose?

A. There is no 'correct' size - it depends on what you feel is comfortable. However, the following is an approximate guide that will help you choose:

Small: Recommended for users who wear UK trouser size 6–8.

Cutaway: Best suited for users with narrow hips who wear UK trouser size 10–12.

Standard: Designed for users with wider hips and UK trouser size 14–18 — this is our most popular and commonly used seat shape. Suits most men.

Large: Recommended for users wearing UK size 18 and above. 42 inch waist and above

Q. What's the difference between a Standard and Cutaway seat?

A. The main difference lies in the shape and width of the seat.

Our Cutaway Saddle has a slightly narrower profile and a curved inner edge, designed to provide extra comfort and clearance for riders with narrower hips. It offers a more streamlined feel without compromising support.

The Standard seat, on the other hand, is wider and more supportive, making it ideal for riders with broader hips or those who prefer a little extra stability and cushioning. This is our most popular option, as it tends to suit a wide range of body types and riding styles.

Q. What are the benefits of using a backrest?

A. Because the saddle design naturally supports a healthy, upright posture, using a backrest is optional. However using a backrest can help:

  • Encourage good posture
  • Provide support during rest
  • Assist while getting used to a new seat
  • Provide support for users with specific clinical needs, who may find it difficult to maintain an upright posture for long periods
