What's in the Box?
Gaiam Balance Ball chair, air pump
Special Note:
For optimal performance, it may be necessary to re-inflate your new Balance Ball once or twice after the initial inflation. Once your chair is assembled and the Balance Ball is inflated, re-check the ball size the next day. If necessary, add additional air and check once more the following day. Your new Balance Ball may need a day or two to "stretch" to its final size (which should then fit perfectly in the base).

Sports reviews of Gaiam Balance Ball Chair (Black)
Customer Review: Balance Ball Chair
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I purchased my Balance Ball Chair for myself for Christmas. I love it. It really makes me aware of how I am sitting. Unlike others purchasing this chair, I do not have back problems. I bought this chair in hopes of preventing any problems. After a long day at my desk I no longer have a tired feeling. It can be a bit cool to sit on on a cold winter day but that may just be me. It is nothing a towel can't prevent. I have also had a few heavy guys sit on it with confidence that it will not burst. Overall I would buy it again.Customer Review: I Love my ball chair!!!

I sit on a ball at home regularly, so when my work(where I sit alot) offered to buy me one, I was excited! I have a couple of herniated lumbar discs, which flair up occasionally and have not experienced any trouble since I have been sitting on my ball chair all day long at work as well as evenings! It has been great and I can sure feel the difference in my core muscles, just from sitting!The only negative for me is the way the back wheels lock up by themselves (I think the lock tabs just fall down from rolling around).Customer Review: Great office chair
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I really like using this chair. I spend a ton of time at the computer and this has helped my posture and the tension in my neck and back.
I do have to say that it took some time to get used to. I get motion sickness and for the first few weeks I felt like I was on a boat! Once my body figured out what was going on, it was smooth sailing from there.
The wheeled contraption holding the ball is a good idea in an office environment if you don't want to humor your co-workers by rolling off.
Customer Review: I Love This Thing!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I love it - it is weird yes but that is why I ordered it - I wanted something that would go with my other modern/contemporary furniture! It also is comfortable and is not so intimidating as some of my guests believe it at first to be LOL - people like it once they sit on it - even my 250 pound 6 ft friend and my pregnant friend also (she was a bit wary but was brave and now perches daintily) my kids of course dig it - rollin round driving my crazy but anyways - it is cool - a good buy

Customer Review: Great Chair, Great Price

I have peristent lower back pain when I spend too much time sititng at my desk, which is a bad thing for a writer! I've been using it a few days, and I've noticed I don't wake up in the morning with back pain any more. My one fear is that the cats may try to jump on it and puncture it at some point (we lost one exercise ball that way), so this might not be the best chair depending on your household inhabitants. You might want to note that its suitability will depend greatly on your height as well. I'm 5'9".
