Stability Ball Chair for Workplace – Ergonomic Seating/Labor Birthing Being pregnant/Yoga Stability Stability Train Health

Perfect for “Standing” Desk set up
I recently started using a standing desk, which anyone who uses one will tell you, requires use of a cushioned mat under your feet to prevent undue foot pain/fatigue. My issue was that I still wanted the option to sit occasionally, and a conventional desk chair with legs – with or without wheels – would leave impressions on the mat and ultimately cause damage/tears from the weight of sitting, so I’d either have to use a compact enough mat that I could move it out of the way when I chose to sit on the chair (requiring extra effort at the very least), or find a seating option that wouldn’t damage the mat. This was the perfect solution. Great quality cover, excellent fit – just follow the instructions regarding initial partial inflation and leaving it for a day before completing the full inflation.EDIT: OK, this shouldn’t need to be said, but even intelligent people can sometimes be careless and distracted, so: given that this is, you know, a ball – without feet or a secure base, please be mindful when you sit, and place your rear end on the ball with a reasonable degree of intention. If you don’t place yourself squarely on top, the ball can easily roll right out from under you and leave you on your a**, particularly if you’re using the ball on a hardwood floor, vinyl mat or any other reasonably slick surface, as opposed to a carpet/rug (although I don’t think those more textured surfaces would make you immune to potential mishaps either, if you are careless/distracted when you place yourself down to sit…) 🙂

Nice covered ball… just note the size before you order.
I ordered this ball to replace the one I’ve been using as a seat at the office. The old one (different brand) has been great, but a hole has started to wear through the thick felt cover. So I decided to try this one.Bad news first: It comes with a plastic foot pump to inflate the ball, which I found woefully inadequate (and it broke under use). However, using a small electric air compressor, I was able to carefully inflate the ball fully.Good news next: Unlike what other reviewers experienced, I found the ball fills the cover completely (once fully inflated) and it looks and feels quite nice. I also like the quality and appearance of the cover. The seams look to be well sewn, and I feel this product is as good or better quality than my expectations… especially at this price point.My mistake: Unfortunately, I failed to realize the old ball is 75cm in diameter and this one is 65cm… so it is significantly smaller. Too small for me to use as a replacement. The old one is just the right size for me. A ring base might raise it up a bit, but would take away from it easily rolling a bit, which is what i like about using a ball. So, I’ll see if a shorter friend can use this nice ball chair and order another (75cm) for myself.

Love it!
I have using a ball for office chair for several years and recently thought, “Would be great to have a cover.” Thought about trying to make my own (not!), so searched on Amazon and was pleased to find this product.Day 1: filled 85% per instructionsDay 2: filled to capacity – noticed you want to make sure hole is aligned with zippered opening as once filled, cannot easily access to plugDay 3: sitting on a full ball (5’6″ for reference) at a comfortable heightI do not understand the other reviews that complain about “ball not fill the cover?” Just add more air. Seated on a carpeted floor in a basement office, this ball is comfortable and stable – just what I was looking for. As far as the cost – good quality ball and cover with cheap pump – worth it!Over a week: using daily, maintaining size and still loving it!

Comfortable Cover but Zipper Broke
Had this stability ball since December 21. I use it as my office “chair” LOL. Love the color, the fabric, and the handle! However, it turned out to not be as durable as I’d hoped. The zipper broke a few weeks ago which makes re-inflating very difficult now. Unfortunately it is almost cheaper to buy a brand new ball because of the price point on the covers sold separately. It is for these reasons that I’m giving the ball 3 stars.

You need to go at it twice when inflating it! First time it feels like the exterior is too big but after a few days when it’s had time to expand, it will perfectly fill up the outer case and it’s perfect!It is way smoother than a regular fitball so you must use it on a slip proof surface. Easy to slide off it otherwise. It’s really firm also and will scoot out from under your if your haven’t got it on a mat.
