There are a number of different seat types which can be used for working or relaxing and most homes, offices and other work places will have a selection for use. A common style that can be used is medical stools and these can be useful as a working seat in a number of locations.
Medical stools can also be known as a doctor’s stool and while it is a style of seat that originated for use in the medical world, it can easily be used by others for a range of purposes. The typical style of a medical stool is a low height, padded stool which is set on castors. Some have a fixed square seat which is set on four legs with castors. Others have a round seat with a central pedestal which is set on a base with castors. The pedestal style is a little more versatile in that the height of the seat is usually adjustable and the seat comes in a swivel style. The style of step seat is typically used by doctors, dentists and other medical staff when attending patients who are lying on a low couch. However it is a style which can easily be used for working more comfortably in other locations such as garages or workshops.
As well as the padded stool type, medical step stools can also be manufactured in a seat style with a backrest, although this tends to be a little higher and is not as useful for working beside a low couch or working surface. However they are available if you prefer this style of seat.
If you decide the medical stool style is something you would like to use there are a few manufacturers that produce them. Drive Medical is one of these and they produce examples of both the fixed square seat and the round, adjustable seat stools. These are available in a price range of around $100 to $250. The fixed square seat model is the most affordable at around $115 to purchase. This has fixed height of 18 inches, a 250lb weight capacity and has a chrome plated steel construction.
