Ball Chair

When choosing the right ball chair for your needs, here are some tips to help you:

- The size of the chair should keep your feet on the floor while you sit, with your arms resting comfortably on the desk. When you sit on the ball chair, you should keep your legs forming a 90 degree angle at the knees. Any more or any less will mean that the ball chair isn't right for you.

- Your weight is a very important factor when choosing a ball chair. If your weight compresses the chair and flattens it, you need to get a bigger ball chair. If you happen to be very light in weight, you can under-inflate the ball chair.

Ball chairs will keep your back and abdominal muscles active because of the slight bouncing it provides. Therefore, you can maintain proper posture, which helps to prevent back problems. Even though a ball chair can be a great alternative to a standard office chair, you should consult a doctor before you purchase one. If you've had any back problems or surgeries, you want to get a doctor's advice before you make that final purchase.
