I purchased the ball chair to use at work and it is wonderful! I have no pain back anymore and have improved my core strength, everyone in the office is jealous of my ball chair!
This is an awesome chair. I was going to go with just the ball until I came across this one. It's very comfortable and easy to roll around. I sit at a desk all day so I needed a chair that would keep me from being tired by days end. This is a great chair!
Chair is a wonderful product if you have back issues. It takes pressure off the back and neck. Very happy with this purchase! :-)
I would recommend this to a friend!

I absolutely love this chair. It helps keeps me alert and focused during long business days. If I have to be in the office this is the only chair I will use. Many colleagues have asked about it, tried it and even borrowed it...
I am very pleased with this chair. I spend a fair amount of time sitting at work and within a few days my body stopped hurting. No more tailbone, back, and shoulder pain. Just be careful, it's on wheels, I did fall off the ball.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It works. I have terrible hip pain. When sitting in a normal $600 issued ergonomic chair my back, hips, and back of thighs are killing me by noon. With the ball I feel no pressure anywhere. It is super comfortable. Okay my upperback was a little sore the first couple of days, but it got better. Plus huge improvement on my posture. You actually notice a difference rather quickly. I love the ball and wouldn't sit on anything else for 10 hours a day. It's been the best thing for decreasing my pain. Just buy it, it's worth it!

Welcome relief

I am former ER nurse who recently changed from a busy standing job to a sitting one. I commute 1 hour each way, three times weekly. The combination of driving and sitting has been a strain on my entire back. I have been using my first chair for just a few weeks and on those days, I have no pain. I am happy to report that I will be purchasing a second chair for my other office so I can experience relief all week! An added plus, when I'm feeling too energetic to sit, I can focus my energy by doing exercises as well. It makes for a productive day! Thanks!

Wish height were adjustable

The chair is great: a bit weird at first but I'm already noticing that it works core muscles to help balance. I'm also trying to fight my bad habit of crossing my legs, which is still possible, but more difficult, to do on this chair. I love that the ball comes out so it can be used for floor exercises: that was a big factor in my decision to buy this chair. However, potential buyers should know that the base that holds the ball is NOT height-adjustable, so there is the distinct possibility you will be seated too low for your existing desk, which is the problem I have. My elbows are a bit high now as I type, but, then again, I find I'm looking at my laptop a bit more directly (instead of down at it), so my neck feels a bit straighter. Not sure what this will mean for my shoulder muscles, but time will tell.
