I am so happy with this chair. Inflating it was easy with the pump provided. Getting the right amount of air was tricky--thought I had it measured correctly until I put it in the chair and was too big. Let some air out and now it's fine. My posture is so much better and if I get bored on my computer I bounce--love bouncing to YouTube music!!
I really like how it feels and the way it makes my back feel
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have been using my balance ball chair for on week now and I love it. I have back problems and have been going to a chiropractor for 4 months and have seen some improvement, but I have seen more improvement since using my ball chair. I notice that I sit straighter and my back does not get as tired and sore as it use to with my old computer chair. I have also been doing the exercises every day and I feel more flexable. It does take some getting use to. The first few days, I was stiff, but it is getting much better.

Balance ball chair isn't for everyone

I purchased the balance ball because my massage therapist recommended it. I work in a home office and my back was killing me from sitting in front of the computer all day. I purchased the balance ball and used it for 6 months before I finally purchase an ergo office chair to replace it. I gave the chair to my massage therapist and she loves it. It was not comfortable enough for me to use on a regular basis.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Back Relief

I have suffered with back problems for many years. Working in my office at home in regular office chairs made my back pain almost unbearable. I tried many different chairs all touting "no back pain" but to no avail. I purchased the ball chair and found the solution. The chair was easy to put together (very vew parts), light weight, and once I sat on the chair, I knew I had found what I had been searching for. The chair also has helped my posture while sitting at my computer. My ab muscles have gotten stronger which also helps alleviate back pain. I love this chair and have recommended it to all my friends.
Using the Classic Balance Ball Chair has relieved neck and back pain from sitting during an entire work day! Keeps core engaged and encourages better posture while sitting! Great opportunity to exercise while on conference calls or during a quick break!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Ball Chair- Excellent!

The ball chair is a great item for the office. I used to use the larger exercise ball by itself, but this is so much more convenient because then you don't have to deal with the ball rolling around. Also looks a little more professional. It was the talk of the office when I brought mine in. It Definitely helps with posture- I can feel the difference when I sit in other chairs now. I use the larger exercise ball at home for exercise and for sitting on- while watching tv, or even as an extra chair at the dinner table.
I bought this after debating over the expense for about 2 years. I can't believe I waited that long. Within the 1st month the chair is worth his weight in gold!! I have lower back/hip issues and being 5' 4" most office chairs are way to tall. I love that my back doesn't bother me. Now if I sit too long my back lets me know but this chair is awesome!! I would advise to get the risers just incase. I ended up using them because my desk is tall.
