Rife R400 – Ergonomic Saddle Chair with Lumbar Support
Adjustable clinical saddle seating with lumbar support, independent seat tilt and mobile five-star base for dental, examination and laboratory workflows.
Designed for clinical work
The Rife R400 is designed for professionals who need close access to a patient or work surface while retaining adjustable lumbar support. Its saddle profile and multi-function mechanism make it suitable for repeated repositioning across a treatment bay or laboratory workstation.
Ergonomic design approach
The saddle seating position is intended to support a more open hip and knee posture than a conventional flat chair. The user-supplied ergonomic specification targets an approximately 135° hip/knee working angle and a more natural lumbar S-curve, while the adjustable backrest provides additional support when required.
Key features
- Independent adjustments: Separate controls for gas-lift height, backrest height/angle and seat tilt.
- High-density cushioning: 35–40 density new foam over a heavy-duty 13 mm plywood inner core.
- Clinical mobility: Polished chrome five-star base with dust-guarded PU castors.
