The two HAG Capisco listings in this guide differ mainly in the seat. The polyester black seat is described in the comparison table as soft and wide, while the Puls black partial cushion is described as firm and narrow. Both list the same 19 to 26 inch seat height range, a 300 lb weight limit and use with work surfaces of 28 inches or higher. If you want a saddle stool with a backrest instead, the DR.LOMILOMI rolling saddle chair lists a 400 lb maximum and the Ailyful ergonomic saddle stool lists 485 lb. Neither of those is a HAG product, and a different saddle chair is covered in freedom saddle chair.
What the HAG listings have in common
Both HAG Capisco listings name HAG as the brand, list a metal frame and give the same product dimensions: 29 in deep, 29 in wide and 44 in high. Both list a seat height range of 19 to 26 inches with an 18.5 inch backrest on the Puls listing, and both say the chair suits work surfaces of 28 inches or higher. Both bullets give a 300 lb limit, and both pages present a footring as a separate add-on. The listings say the chairs are constructed in the USA, use over 50 percent recycled materials and are Green Guard Gold certified.

The HAG Capisco listings

- Brand: HAG

- Material: metal
- Listed size: 29 in deep, 29 in wide, 44 in high

- Weight: the bullets say the saddle seat supports up to 300 lb
- Footring: the listing says a HAG Capisco Footring is available as an add-on
Limits. The footring is sold separately, so the foot support the listing mentions is an extra purchase. The text read does not give a seat width or seat depth in inches. The bullets describe ergonomic benefits such as an upright posture and blood flow; the listing states these as claims, and this guide has not tested them.

- Weight: the listing gives a maximum weight of 300 lb
- Footring: the listing says a footring is sold separately and presents it as an add-on
Limits. The comparison table gives this seat a different shape from the polyester listing: firm and narrow, against soft and wide on the other HAG Capisco. The listing does not say which seat suits a wider range of users. The text read does not give the seat width or depth in inches.
Non-HAG saddle stools in this comparison
The two products below are not HAG or Capisco products. Their brand names are shown on each listing, and neither is described as a HAG Capisco.
Rolling Saddle Chair with Back Support, Ergonomic Swivel Stool (DR.LOMILOMI)
- Brand: DR.LOMILOMI
- Listed size: 23 in deep, 23 in wide, 37 in high
- Item weight: 23.3 lb
- Height: the bullets say the pneumatic lift adjusts the seat from 21 to 26 in. The spec table lists a seat height of 25 in.
- Weight limit: the bullets say the base supports up to 400 lb
- Base: five-leg aluminum base with tapered legs and PU casters that the bullets describe as quiet and smooth on hard floors
- Seat: vinyl with memory foam fill, per the spec table
- Back: the spec table says open back, while the bullets describe an adjustable, tilting backrest
- Arms: armless, per the spec table
Limits. The listing gives both a 21 to 26 in height range and a 25 in seat height, and does not say which one applies to a given user. It also gives both an open back and a tilting backrest, and the text read does not reconcile the two. The spec table gives a 15 in seat depth and seat length and a 22.5 in backrest width, but no seat width.
Ailyful Ergonomic Saddle Stool with Backrest, 485 lbs Capacity Rolling Stool
- Brand: Ailyful
- Color: saddle stool with backrest
- Listed size: 18.9 in deep, 18.9 in wide, 21.26 in high
- Height: the bullets say the pneumatic lift adjusts from 21.26 to 26.77 in
- Weight limit: 485 lb, per the title and bullets
- Tilt: a 12 degree forward tilt, per the bullets
- Seat: memory foam wrapped in microfiber leather, with a split saddle design and integrated backrest
- Frame: aluminum, per the spec table
- Swivel: 360 degrees on quiet casters, per the bullets
Limits. The listed product height of 21.26 in matches the low end of the adjustment range, not the high end, and the text read does not give the maximum overall height. The bullets describe the forward tilt as encouraging movement; this is the listing’s description and has not been tested here. The listing is not a HAG or Capisco product.
The size and range arithmetic
The figures below come from the listings. The differences are our own arithmetic from those figures.
- HAG Capisco height range: 26 – 19 = 7 in of adjustment
- DR.LOMILOMI height range from the bullets: 26 – 21 = 5 in of adjustment
- Ailyful height range: 26.77 – 21.26 = 5.51 in of adjustment
- Weight limits against the HAG Capisco 300 lb: DR.LOMILOMI is 400 – 300 = 100 lb higher, and Ailyful is 485 – 300 = 185 lb higher
The HAG Capisco has the widest height range of the four, with 7 in of adjustment against 5 in or 5.51 in on the other two. The HAG listings give the lowest weight limit of the four, which is still 300 lb.
Which one to choose
- A HAG Capisco with a soft, wide seat: the polyester black seat listing, per its comparison table.
- A HAG Capisco with a firmer, narrower seat: the Puls listing, per its comparison table.
- A saddle stool with a backrest and the highest listed weight limit: Ailyful, at 485 lb.
- A saddle stool with a backrest and a 400 lb limit: DR.LOMILOMI, if its open-back and tilting-back descriptions match what you need.
Before you buy, check the listed height range against the work surface you use. The HAG listings say they suit work surfaces of 28 in or higher.
