Blue AppleRound Air Stability Wobble Cushion With Pump - 34Cm /13.5In Diameter - Ideal For Balance, Sensory Stimulation And Active Sitting Review

I bought this because I used to love sitting at my desk, using an exercise ball as a chair. However, the height wasn't right for my new desk, and -- when I'm writing or doing something that requires 100% focus -- balance issues could intrude.So, I tried this cushion. It's not a perfect substitute, but it's pretty good. At the moment, I use it about 1/4 of the time I'm at my desk.The cushion is well made. One side is fairly smooth, for sitting on. The other side has a raised pattern on it that…

This item came fast and well packaged in a hard white box. It looks and feels very sturdy. And to my surprise, as a plastic product unlike others, it comes without any bad smell. The included pump is handy and works very well. I can easily adjust the fullness of the seat with just a few strokes by using the enclosed pump. Plus the good price, I see this as a very good buy!At work, I have got to sit on the office chair and looking at the PC screen for hours without relaxation. I really feel much

I ordered this stability cushion to use with my standing desk at work. I found that my heels would really hurt at the end of the work day from standing on my feet without which I thought was strange because I could hike all day and not be in that much pain. I thought about getting a anti-fatigue mat but then wanted something that would make me work a little harder and challenge my balance a bit. Originally I was going to put in under my Endo board platform so that I could work on my balance…

I don't really have issues with balance but decided at age 68 that I should do preventive maintenance to make sure I stay ahead of the game. I have size 11 feet and this disk just isn't really that easy to manage with feet that size, which is why I gave it 4 stars.I would prefer a rectangular or square shape. It's a challenge to balance on this but I will continue trying. The one advantage I did find was that when I am watching 3 college football games in a day, it helps my spine and my hips if

I've been using the wobble cushion for a few weeks now and I love it. My Chiropractor has been telling one of the causes of my low back pain is sitting for hours at a time without moving. I tried to get up and move more. I even set a alarm to remind me, but I'd ignore it due to my intense focus on whatever I was doing. I tried sitting on one of the big exercise balls, but I'd wedge myself into an even work position. With this cushion I can focus and rock my hips in various directions and it's…

This is definitely more of a sitting (or maybe kneeling) than a standing tool. Works great with very active or hyper kids who would like to try sitting in a regular chair. This also works great for me - I have no problem sitting for possibly too long, but if I sit at my desk this is a very subtle way to encourage myself to A) sit better and B) get up and walk around. Sitting in a chair with arms it provides just a little instability that keeps my core muscles working. I sit with the spiky side…

I just recently learned about this so thought I'd try it. I was still a bit skeptical, but when it arrived I was positively surprised. It seems quite sturdy, and we used the pump and we all tested it out. It's fun to stand on, and always realized a 7 yr old is way more balanced than us adults. We did buy it for him to use on his chair for doing some of his reading/schoolwork. He even uses it to sit on the floor. He loves it, and likes to sit on it and stand on it, and when he's upset, he likes…

First of all, I am very grateful for the reviews I read before purchasing these cushions. I felt very confident in my choice to purchase these for my toddlers.These have been awesome. We have had two of them for over a year and a half now and they are still going strong. We have ordered from AppleRound before and have always been pleased with their products. When you pump them up, they go a little more round than I was anticipating, they looked like they'd be more flat on top, but that hasn't…

The cushion is made of very sturdy but pliable plastic. It comes with an air pump and two needles. I had a minor problem with inflating it—I had to push the needle really hard into the valve before it would inflate. When I did that, it felt as though the needle had to puncture a membrane inside the valve. Then everything worked fine. I notified the seller, who said they would pass the feedback along to their manufacturer.The cushion can be inflated anywhere from very soft to very firm, and it…

I had been using the full on ball chair at my desk at work for a two to three years- a couple of other people had got them too after trying mine out. Then they moved us to a new building with new cubes, new chairs and a lot of rules guaranteed to lower morale and thwart productivity. I didn't even try to take the ball chair. Then I saw this on sale for Black Friday - I didn't even know they existed and was excited to find it. Unbelievably it arrived in only one day so I was ready bright and…

I bought this for my kindergartner who is now in 2nd grade. My son struggles with sensory issues and hyperactivity. This wobble cushion really helped my active son when he was expected to stay in his chair and pay attention. His kindergarten teacher said when she would notice he was starting to misbehave she would give him the wobble cushion and it would help redirect his hyperactivity to wobbling on his chair. In 1st grade he didn't use it as much, but I believe it was because the teacher was…

I purchased the wobble cushion on the advise of my chiropractor. I do a series of counting to 100 for each of the following directions. 1 - moving my hips forward and backward, 2 - moving my hips side to side, 3 - moving my hips in a circle counterclockwise, 4 - moving my hips in a circle counterclockwise. It has really helped to keep the mobility and prevent discomfort as I age. 😀

I have the opportunity to work with several children with ADHD and sometimes I really need them to focus for just a couple of minutes. It's remarkable how much better they can do that when standing on this thing. My understanding of the research is that these do nothing for long-term healing of ADHD symptoms but that they can provide a short-term "band aid" solution, and that is exactly what I am seeing in the real world. It comes in very handy for kids who are in the middle of a med…

I like this but it's really best for one foot and not for BOTH feet.unless you are a kid? For adults one foot it does the job.2 feet.Maybe get a bigger one of this or the balance pads?.Even the balance pads are tough to get the "right" pad. When I used one in my physical therapy balance pad I thought they would all be the same.They're not!.The PT pad was very soft and "wobbly" (needed for a balance pad!) and the purchased one was soft but harder than the PT pad.OK back to this…

So far it’s great. I’ve used it twice. I was having trouble sitting very long at the piano. My sciatica would really start to hurt. Now I can play without pain.

This cushion is a great alternative to the high priced sensory cushions found in therapy and education catalogs. I have worked in elementary schools and child development centers with children with autism so I am very familiar with these seats. When I noticed my 4-year old was not able to stay in his seat at dinner I knew the solution was to find him a way to move while staying in his seat instead of demanding he "sit still". He spent most of his meal getting up to run around and then…

Just got this yesterday, I bought balance pods with it. It came in a box and it was not inflated. I pumped it up enough for me to be able to stand on it and balance when sitting. The pin and pump is not really hard to use, you just need to be careful with pushing the pin in the hole. Coz I read the reviews here before buying it and some said their pin broke while trying to push the pin in the hole for pumping. I'm not sure why that happened but my experience with pumping it up was good. It's…

I use this on my almost 6 year old when he is doing homework. He is always wanting to get up, stand up, move around. and is basically always just distracting himself. I have a friend who's son has SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder) and she told me she uses one of these and it helps her son, so I thought I would give it a try even though my son doesn't struggle with SPD it has helped him and he thinks it is fun to sit on. I recomended it to a friend whos son has ADHD and it has helped him out A…

I bought this cushion for my 6yo son to use at school. He has balance and coordination problems as well as low muscle tone and weak core strength. He has only used it for a week, and I have already noticed a big improvement! His focus is better in class and he doesn't fall out of his chair any more. His frustration has also decreased and his ability to complete his work in a timely, tear-free manner has improved. I was so encouraged by his improvement, that I took the cushion home after school…
