I just ordered this today - I’ll let you all know once I get it next week how it’s working out for me. I had to do something. Sitting for a living and then sitting again while mixing/mastering for hours on end is not healthy - so I decided to give this cool chair a try:
Looks fun and good !
I will post here once I receive it and know if it was a good investment or not!
yeah a chiropractor recommended this same chair to me too. thanks for reminding me!
this is a good idea, I know someone who works at Microsoft in Seattle and they use one of these and love it.
So I got the chair 2 days ago, and put it together yesterday. Was very easy and quick to set up - I will use it this weekend in my studio and post a report after. So far it seems pretty good when I just tested it sittng on it. The true test is how does it feel if I sit on it for many hours…

So here is my update/verdict on the ball chair:
I used it yesterday from about 4pm until 2am.
I definitely noticed a big difference in my posture and no fatigue from sitting so long.
The only thing I do recommend is - if you decide to buy one of these chairs, get the ball cover for $29.00 - or you could use some sort of home made improv cover - otherwise sitting on plastic that long can cause some sweating…
Overall I give the compfort and the usability of the chair a 5 star rating, it was a great investment. I never once switched to my regular chair, that’s how great it was. My body was less fatigued and my posture was great without trying.
Also, the day before I used it and played guitar sitting on it. Again, it was super compfortable, even for playing guitar.
I worked for a composer in LA that used one of these. He wrote all of his film and TV cues sitting on one
I’ve got an ergonomic back support chair and that alone made a huge difference. May look into one of these for a client chair. If I like it enough maybe I’ll steal it from the client!
just came across this cool
