Best Exercise Ball Chairs of 2025

"I got this ball to use at my desk since I work on a computer all day. It really helps my back and strengthens my core, although it took some time to get used to. I appreciate that it comes with a foot pump, but I found it quicker to use an air compressor to inflate it. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase."

"I bought this ball on my physical therapist's recommendation for maternity-related stretches and to relieve pelvic pain during my pregnancy. The ring around the bottom caught my attention since I can use it at work. It has really helped with my discomfort while sitting. I paid about $30 for it, and considering the quality and the included accessories, I think it was worth it. The setup was straightforward, and I've had no issues after using it for several months."

"I use this ball as a substitute for a stool while teaching. It's lightweight, easy to assemble, and very comfortable! The kids enjoy it during story time, and I get to work my core while reading to them. I've received positive reactions from my fellow teachers, and I highly recommend it!"

"I found this chair to be fantastic for my job. After sitting for 8+ hours a day, I struggled with comfort until I tried this chair. Now, on day 3 of using it, my tailbone and back feel great due to the improved posture, which also engages my core."

"While I loved using this chair, it lasted about 16 months before spitting out ball bearings from the rotating base. Although I managed to push them back in, the base became wobbly and felt structurally weak. Nonetheless, it was a great chair for my home office, and even as a heavier individual, I found it comfortable and secure."

"After years without a backrest, I finally found relief with this chair. I had tried using a ball before but struggled with height. This chair is exactly what I needed; my back and knees are grateful!"

"As an engineering professor, I bought this chair to combat backache. It's been terrific for the first month! I found that the metal retainer isn't necessary. The ball is quite stable and I inflate it a bit more than recommended to fit my height of 6' 1". I've only had to refill it once since then, and my backaches have disappeared!"

"This chair has been a comfortable and healthier option than my previous $800 chair. I spend up to 10 hours a day at my desk due to spine problems, but this has saved me so much pain. The inflation device that comes with it is tricky to use, so I switched to an electric pump. Overall, it’s definitely worth the price!"

"I absolutely love this chair! It helps with my posture and lower back pain after sitting for long hours. Easy assembly and the height is perfect for me at 5.5 feet. I followed the inflation instructions and it worked great. I couldn't be happier with my purchase!"

“I spent a lot of time selecting this ball chair. After measuring my desk, I found the height to be perfect. It's sturdy and comfortable, and it really helps my posture while engaging my muscles effortlessly. I've had chronic neck and shoulder issues, and this chair has been a lifesaver. Just follow the instructions for inflation, and it’s super easy to maintain. I highly recommend it!”

“I've noticed several benefits with this chair. The heavy-duty plastic structure is impressive, and despite being about $30 more expensive than others, I think it’s worth it. My spouse, who is larger, finds it comfortable too. I believe the ball supports 400-600 pounds, and the frame is rated for 200-300 pounds. If anyone finds the ball small, it's likely they didn’t read the instructions. After allowing the ball to relax for 24-48 hours, it fits perfectly! Since I’ve started using it, my back pain has significantly decreased. The locking rear wheels are also a nice touch. I rated it a 4 because the height might not work for everyone.”

“I’d rate this chair a 5 for comfort. I don’t usually sit for long periods, but it has really helped with my neck and hip pain. It maneuvers easily and was a breeze to put together.”

"I found this Gaiam balance ball and base kit to be fantastic for working from home! It’s really comfortable, helps with my posture, and adds a bit of activity to my day. The included pump was easy to use, and the base keeps it stable. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to upgrade their home office setup!"

"The quality of the ball is solid, and after following the inflation instructions, it feels perfectly firm. I originally bought it as a birth ball for pregnancy, but I can see myself using it for exercise or even as a chair afterward. I appreciate the stability the ring provides, and it holds up well even when bouncing on it!"

"I had been experiencing severe back issues from sitting at my desk, but since switching to this ball, my pain has vanished! It offers great support and encourages better posture. I really didn’t think I would benefit this much, but I’m thrilled with the results and will continue to recommend it to others!"

"I use this chair in my home office. It fits perfectly under my desk and helps with my posture and core muscles. I recommend it for anyone of all sizes!"

"I wasn't sure about sitting on a ball all day, but after months of discomfort, I decided to give this a try. I really like it! It’s not as bouncy as a yoga ball, but it does have a bit of bounce, which helps during long meetings. My back feels much better now, but I wish the height adjustment was easier."

"My wife fell down the stairs and this chair has been a life saver for her working from home. It’s lightweight, easy to assemble, and adds a cute touch to the room! It stands at 24 inches high."

"I absolutely love the ball chair! The felt cover and handle are great, and the color is fantastic. However, I've faced a few downsides. After using it for a while, the ball slipped inside the cover, making it impossible to refill. Now, I'm slowly sinking. Additionally, the felt collects a lot of hair, which can be annoying. Despite these issues, I still cherish the chair."

"As someone with ADHD, sitting still can be tough, but this ball chair has been a game-changer for me. I can focus much better now and my back feels great. I love the high-quality felt and how it complements my office decor. Inflating it was easy, and even after my dogs knocked it into some dust, it cleaned up nicely!"

"I use this as my office chair and it has really helped with my lower back pain. The handle makes moving it around effortless, and the non-slip bottom provides great stability. I appreciate that it doesn't attract cat hair either. I've had to inflate it only twice in months, which is impressive!"

"I purchased this ball for my home office as a teacher. Sitting for long hours was uncomfortable, and I needed something stable for video calls. This ball is perfect for me. I can adjust the firmness, and it helps my posture significantly. After a few weeks, I've noticed I need to add air regularly, but it's not a hassle. I love that it engages my core, making me feel more alert throughout the day. The arm bands are a nice addition, allowing me to move while in meetings."

"I've been using this ball consistently since it arrived. It holds up well and serves its purpose nicely. However, I was disappointed with the accessories. The pump provided is ineffective, and my balance tube arrived punctured, which limited my experience. I reached out to the seller but didn’t receive any response. While I appreciate the ball's quality, the lack of customer support has made me rethink future purchases."

"I bought this exercise ball to improve my posture while working at my computer. The 75cm size helps me adjust my eye level with my monitor easily. The materials are robust, and I’ve been measuring the circumference, which hasn’t shrunk at all. The ball deserves a 5-star rating, but I have to mention the excellent service from Daryl. He resolved an issue I had with the pump within hours, which is rare these days!"

"I bought the Gaiam Kids Active Seat for my child, and it’s been a fun and functional addition to their study area. The peanut shape makes it stable yet engaging, allowing them to move around a bit while staying seated, which helps with focus. I highly recommend it for active learners."

"I purchased this for our 4-year-old who has low muscle tone due to a genetic disorder. She loves rolling around, and the peanut was easy to inflate. Now, both my kids play with it all the time, sitting and bouncing together. A great addition for our family!"

"My daughter's love for this seat is incredible. It's not just a seat; it helps her build core muscles and learn balance. The quality is great, and inflating it was a breeze!"

"Over the years, I've tried using a large yoga ball at my desk, but it always rolled out of place and took up too much space. This yoga ball chair has solved all those issues. The smaller ball stays put when I get up, and it provides the same posture and core strength benefits. I appreciate the back support too, making it easier to use. However, I wish all five wheels could lock for extra stability, especially when lifting weights. Overall, it’s a great solution for better posture and more enjoyable than a traditional chair."

"I've been using this yoga ball chair in my studio for a couple of weeks. At first, I thought it would be better at my work table, but I've found it helps me maintain better posture as my computer chair. I do wish the seat depth was a bit larger, and when I sit for long periods, I'm not as comfortable. However, it makes me more conscious of my core and spine alignment, and I find myself wanting to stretch and exercise more. It looks fun and youthful, which is a nice bonus!"

"As a sedentary worker, I always look for ways to improve my workspace. What I love about this yoga ball chair is that it practically forces me to maintain good posture to stabilize myself. My only minor issue is that even with the wheels locked, the chair can still roll a little. It’s not a huge problem, but it can be a bit distracting at times."
