Safco MOGO Guide

Mogo is designed to let you take your upright lifestyle with you
wherever you roam—indoors or out. It’s a lightweight portable seat,
ready to support you in any setting.
Mogo will support you at the sideline of the soccer field on a Saturday
morning, or relaxing on a warm summer evening at a music festival.
Mogo is right at home in the conference room too, allowing all those
outside-the-box ideas to fly. At just two pounds, it is fully collapsible to
fit into your tote bag or strap to your backpack.
1. Screw the Seat onto the Seat Post
Line up the inner screw on the underside of the seat cushion with the hole inside the
seat post. Screw the post on clockwise until secure.
2. Extend the Seat Post
Push in the two brass buttons and pull the seat post out until the buttons click into
place.
3. Adjust the Height
Push in the red button to release the height-adjustment lever. Pull the seat post out to
the desired height notch. Make sure the red button clicks to ensure it is locked in place.
Floor Mode Turf Mode
Turf Mode or Floor Mode?
The foot at the base of your Mogo seat is built for all
types of surfaces. Use the floor mode for indoor or
smooth surfaces like wood, carpet or concrete. Turn to
turf mode when you’re outside on grass, dirt or sand for
extra grip.

Q: How do I know if my seat height is right for me?
A: The Mogo Seat is nicknamed “The Human Kickstand” for a reason: it should feel like a
“propping point” for your body to rest. Adjust the length of the Mogo in order to give yourself
enough height to achieve a stable backward lean into the seat pan. The Mogo’s shape should
comfortably meet the contours of your body. The bottom edge of the seat pan should meet
the top of your thighs, and you should aim to create a triangle between your feet, your seat
and the base of the Mogo. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach for any Focal seat or desk.
Don’t feel like you’ve got it quite right? Keep altering the length to determine what works best
for you!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: My seat is uncomfortable. What can I do about it?
A: Try moving more. Feeling discomfort is your body’s way of signalling you to change your
posture. Remember that the seat is for leaning; you may feel discomfort if you attempt to sit
directly on top of the seat.
Q: It’s been two weeks. Why am I still uncomfortable?
A: You might not be moving enough. Remember: our seats are made to make you move. Let your
discomfort inspire you to take a walk, stand for awhile or change the angle of your lean. Try
shifting more of your weight to the seat or to your feet – whichever might help you feel more
comfortable!
Q: Am I too short? Am I too tall?
A: To achieve a comfortable fit, the normal height range for users on the Mogo is less than 6’1” –
although depending on your proportions, this may or may not be true for you.
