Adjustable Height Stool with Back Support
Adjustable height stool with back support
An adjustable height stool with back support is very helpful for me in the kitchen. I cannot walk without using a walker and my core muscles are not very strong. I love to cook and prepare food in the kitchen but I cannot stand or walk unaided. Now I can still enjoy my favourite hobby with the stool.
The stool is like a horse’s saddle on wheels, it is very stable. It allows me to do things that I once thought were going to be impossible because of MS.

Something had to change
When I realised that I couldn’t stand on my feet and prepare food or cook a meal then I needed a solution. This adjustable height stool with back support provides just the solution. Now I can sit on a chair and adjust the height. It is on wheels so I can easily move around the kitchen. Also I tire quickly because of the MS but the chair allows me to conserve my energy and cook an entire meal without having to take a rest
Saddle stool benefits
The design of the comfortable saddle stool encourages better posture. The contoured back support helps to relieve back strain and provide support vital because my core muscles are weak. I can easily change the height of the seat to anything between 22.5 inches to 30.5 inches just by using a hand lever. I can pick some thing off a low shelf in a cupboard or easily lift a plate from a high shelf. The stool is on a 5 wheel base so I can easily change the direction of the seat simply by moving my feet on the floor
My old life returned
Using the adjustable height saddle stool:
- I can get saucepans out of cupboards and food out of the fridge without fear of falling over.
- Moving around the kitchen is now exercise.
- Balance is essential to sit on the stool so it will strengthen my core muscles.
- I can raise the seat so now I can be at the same height as other people when I talk to them without standing on my feet.
To summarise
I have foot-drop and very bad balance so I must use a walking aid such as a rollator. I walk unsteadily and very slowly because my legs are weak. Now I can cook in the kitchen again thanks to a adjustable height saddle stool. This stool has given me back a part of my life that I thought I had lost for ever. Note the floor must be smooth and there is no brake.
Living with multiple sclerosis always is always a compromise. The saddle stool has restored something that is very important to me, independence in the kitchen.

Excellent news! Glad you are able to move about better! I purchased a stationery Cosco chair with attached step stool, secondhand, and also enjoy sitting at a more comfortable height than my rollator while I am fixing dinner in the kitchen. It is a cheery yellow and I thank the person who donated it to my local Goodwill thrift store as it has proved to be the best thing for me! Enjoy your holidays in your new home and I wish you well (as can be!) in the coming new year! It is the Year of the Horse so it will be a year of change as 2025 was the Year of the Snake and that meant shedding of all the skins of old! LOL. My best to you and yours!
Hi SoCal,
Variable height stools are really useful and I could not survive in the kitchen without one. The back support is really important now that MS has rubbished so much of my balance and core strength.
Finally finished work on our home but finding it a bit chilly at the moment but once it starts to warm up it will be lovely. Did not realise how tiring this whole process would be. I suspect MS is getting the better of me.
Wishing you all the best for 2026.
