Much better! I like the new "Stayball" by Reebok. It's anti-burst and doesn't roll away when you get up. Cool. And after only one day of ball-as-chair use, my low back already feels better. I'm going to cross that pricey Aeron office chair off my wish list! OK … that’s the ticket. Much better! I like the new “Stayball” by Reebok. It’s anti-burst and doesn’t roll away when you get up.

It is already blown up to 80-inch circumference as instructions state. Do you and your staff over-inflate the ones you use for chairs? It just seems to squish down more than stay round and tall/firm when they're sat on, and I really need that extra couple inches like when first inflated. It's not like we're super heavy (about 165-175 lbs.). Please advise. (Did you read comment #3?) It is already blown up to 80-inch circumference as instructions state.

I like it and can feel why it's way better than a chair. However, it's a couple inches lower than my chair was and isn't quite where I want it for the keyboard and mouse. I inflated to 80-inch circumference, as instructions advise, and it feels solid, but of course squishes down when seated. Is there a way to get some additional height from the ball? My keyboard is already on a lower pull-out tray. Thank you. Got a nice new 65cm Reebok StayBall today and replaced the chair at my computer. I like it and can feel why it’s way better than a chair.

Blow it up as full as possible. The regular strength ball is just fine unless you are on the heavy side, and then a stronger version may make sense.

Are there thicker and thinner versions? The one I have seems to get squishy pretty quickly. Is there a certain size ball that is best to use for a chair at the computer?
