I was concerned that this chair would not be very comfortable because it doesn't have arms. But it turns out that I have more freedom of movement and I think my posture is better because of it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Purchase for myself ever

I purchased the Ball Chair after seeing it in my son's principals office. It looked very interesting so I asked about it. She told me that she "loved" it. I went directly to your website and purchased one for myself. Then I purchased another one for my son because he wouldn't stay off of it. Definitely one of the best purchases ever!

Best solution I've found for neck and back pain!

I have tried a variety of ergonomic desk and chair setups, and this chair is the only thing that works for me. I work from home, and sit at my desk for 6-10 hours a day, up to 6 days a week. I was skeptical about being able to use this chair for more than a few hours at a time, but after about 2 weeks of gradually using it more each day, I was able to put my old chair in storage! I've had this chair for about 9 months, and I'm having to order a new ball because my cat punctured the original one. I don't think this is typical! The ball is very thick and sturdy, my cat is just a rambunctious kitten and managed to get an untrimmed claw through it in a moment of passion! I tried to hold out for a while using a regular office chair or stool - but I need my ball chair back!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Better Once it's Well-Inflated!

When I got this chair, I didn't inflate the ball enough, and I wanted to return it. After my husband inflated it correctly, I am seriously considering buying another for my office at work. It's really comfortable and I can feel my core working. And I'm short, and it still works well.
I really like it, but it's taking some time to get used to it. My lower back hurts, but my chiropractor, who recommended it, says that will go away in time, as my abs strengthen.
I found this ball chair to work so well. I am an artist and sit when I paint. Due to a health issue I cannot stand for long periods of time. This helps me stay straight and is so easy to sit down on and get up from. I highly recommend also getting the ball cover. It helps so your skin does not stick to ball. Wonderful!
I just love my new Balance Ball chair! I was afraid it would be too low for me at my work desk, but I sit at the same height as the standard chair I had before. I am easily able to stretch and bend at any time while I continue with my work.It is just so much more comfortable and fun to sit at my job now. All of my co-workers think it's awesome too!
