User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone had to buy a air pump to refill this or does it come with one
Answer:	It does not come with one. It comes with the needle but you have to get your own pump. These arrived already aired up and we haven't had to add air after a few months of use.
Question:	Does it squeak or make noise when/while you sit on it
Answer:	No, it does not make any noise. It's great for your core. For the first 2weeks I had it, I was sore. After that it's been great.
Question:	Has anyone had to re-inflate? I bought a pump that fit the needle the disk came with but can't get it to inflate
Answer:	Mine came with a needle no pump but its the same needle you would use on any ball. Jennifer has it right on. Mine would not inflate and I did what she said and I pushed the needle all the way thru and it made a puncture sound and finally i could inflate it. its working fine now.
Question:	what is the max weight for this product

User questions & answers

Question:	I find my back hurting when essentially standing in place while cooking, washing dishes. Would this help with that
Answer:	I have been using this Balance Board for several months now and I love it! The fatigue cushioning is fabulous. The board move just enough to allow you to shift your weight and stretch your legs, without requiring any actual focused 'balancing'. I would recommend this product; I am very happy with it.
Question:	What is the weight limit for this
Answer:	I used tried it a bit on hard wood floors & it didn't scratch the floor. It has a rubber bottom so I don't see why it would damage any floor but you can always use it on a rubber mat to be safe.
Question:	Is it hard to actually use this and be productive at work
Answer:	Approx 5.9 x 3.9". Not big, convenient to put in my makeup pouch.
Question:	Will this damage wood floors? If so, how do i protect my floors
Answer:	Yes it’s wipes clean very easily with a wet cloth

Question:	How tall is it from the ground to the top of the ball ? Thank you
Answer:	I'm half a country away but would be glad to give exact measurements when I'm home again. It might not matter in the end though -- this thing is pretty rickety at it's highest setting, and difficult to carry because gravity holds it together. You have to grab it by the leg and the seat or it comes crashing apart. I wouldn't buy it again, and you can have mine if you're in the vicinity of Maine.

User questions & answers

Question:	where is the plug to the ball
Answer:	The plug is at the top of the ball where you pump the air into.
Question:	Can this be recycled in any way
Answer:	No
Question:	Also need a pump
Answer:	The ball by itself does not come with a pump, If you get it with a chair, etc it does come with one. The ball comes packaged folded up in its package.
Question:	Did anyone who complained about the ball being too small wait for 48 hours with it inflated to reinflate it to optimal size
Answer:	Of course I did, and it didn't made enough difference. It's being sold as a replacement ball, so most people buying it have owned the original ball, which also needed to be deflated and inflated after the first couple of days. We know what needs to be done. But we're receiving smaller balls, and per the laws of physics, they can only be inflated to a certain point. And it isn't to the size of the original ball or to a size that works. Perhaps Gaiam has a quality control problem.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you use more than 1 set to go up even higher
Answer:	it will raise your chair about 2-3 inches I prefer mine with the raisers because it helps me sit more comfortably. it is all about comfort if you need to raise the chair some to feel comfortable. you can also pump the ball up a little to raise it as well.
Question:	Will this help raise the chair to work better with my desk
Answer:	I believe so. I have the extenders on mine
Question:	Can these Extenders be used on any office chair that has removable casters
Answer:	Unless you get the extensions to raise the chair up YES you would be uncomfortable. Only downside is the chair's back support would be too low for you although you are supposed to sit very straight in the chair the back support is nice sometimes. I personally think the chair would be too small for you.
Question:	I’m 6’6”, would I be super uncomfortable in this chair
Answer:	Yes if the desk is height is lower than customary. There is a large diameter Gaiam ball (I don’t know the dimensions) that would better suited to a desk chair.

User questions & answers

Question:	How often do you find you have to add air? I am using the 75cm ball as a desk chair and need to add air every day to keep it firm and high enough
Answer:	Exercise ball diameter Person's height45 cm5' and under55 cm 5'1"- 5'8"65 cm 5'9"- 6'2"75 cm 6'3"- 6'7"85 cm 6'8" and taller
Question:	I am going to use this ball at school and I what size would be best
Answer:	I use this every day. My slouch disappeared. My stomach disappeared. I worked a 12 hours shift last week and totally forgot I was on a ball. My posture is noticeably improved and I've received comments. I've read bad reviews and how dangerous they are, but have they ever made an office chair that negates these issues? I've been sitting in computer chairs for 30 years....I've sat on a ball 6 months. I may change my mind later, but today I'm on the ball!
Question:	Would you recommend using this as an office chair
Answer:	I am physical therapy student so I looked some things up for you! Here is an article that details exercises that seniors can do on a stability ball: http://www.livestrong.com/article/103804-stability-ball-exercises-seniors/ And here is a youtube video of one exercise for seniors: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8Ae8mWlq1g I am not (yet) a health care professional, but I am fairly certain that if you are using the ball properly and have not been advised not to use one by a health care professional (due to a severe injury or something) you should be ok. That being said, make sure you get the ball that is the correct size for your height if you plan to sit on it for exercises.4'11" to 5'4" height: 55 cm ball5'4" to 5'11" height: 65 cm ball5'11" to 6' 7" height: 75 cm ballMake sure you read the literature that comes with the ball and if you have any questions related to your health in particular, ask your doctor or, if you have one, physical therapist.Hope this helps!Jessica
Question:	Is it for people 64 and older
Answer:	It works for me and I’m 5’1”- my son is 5’4” and it also fits him well. I like that the ball arrives with a measuring tape to be sure you fill to full size
