“"Firstly I should say that I never bother writing customer reviews and it is only because I was so delighted with this product that I have done so on this occasion.
Suffering from lower back / lumbar pain, I spent ages looking online for a new chair and at one stage was even considering spending £800 on a Herman Miller Chair. But then by complete coincidence I saw an exercise ball chair on TV and started looking at those and decided to order one.
It arrived quickly, easy to assemble (by my boyfriend!) and I will never buy a normal office chair again. The 'seat' is comfy and the back support is perfect for anyone suffering from a bad back or who has to sit for long periods at a desk. This is the only chair I have owned that has made me sit up correctly without either a) eventually slumping forwards after a little while or b) feeling like I'm sitting bolt upright as stiff as a poker.
Fab value for money, great design - don't hesitate to get one."”
“"I bought this chair because like most people I spend a LOT of time at my desk, and having done some internet research, this one appealed for two reasons: 1) It's good for posture and can eliminate back and neck pain (because it conditions core muschles and will stop me slouching) and 2) you can actually exercise on it!
Initial impressions are good - it's very comfortable, and so far I haven't had any problems transitioning from my old chair (I went for the 'backrest' model to help with this, though it looks like that will be easy to remove if I want to at a later date). I'm definitely sitting up straighter, and I'm actually finding it quite invigorating to be able to fit in the occasional set of crunches or press-ups at my desk. Recommended!"”
“easy to put together, very comfortable does help with sitting straight with lower back although have to be aware of shoulders not slumping when working very long hours,not the most attractive looking chair but wouldn't want to do my sewing work without it.”
“Good product - easy to assemble and use. I really like the back rest as it allows you to sit much further back rather than 'perching on the edge'. You do need to keep re-pumping the air in every couple of months or so as the rubber 'relaxes' with use. There is also a seat cosy which is a great idea specially in warmer weather and bare legs!”
“"This chair is surprisingly comfortable, and has alleviated a great deal of my lower back pain and coccyx pain. It is easy to assemble, and reasonably sturdy. I've had a couple of physios recommend sitting on a Swiss ball instead of an office chair, but didn't find this a very practical option because a) my back still seemed to have a tendency to slump, even while sitting on the ball and b) the only way to move the ball is to roll it - in which case you have to stop sitting on it, or you'll roll off. With an office chair, you really want to just be able to push it whereever you want it to be. This design, having a back rest and casters, avoids those two problems, and I find it much better than a normal chair for sitting in
