1. An office-appropriate alternative to sitting on an exercise ball
By Vickie T. VINE VOICE on November 5, 2015
Style Name: Cushion Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
This cushion does make your chair feel sort of like sitting on a balance ball. It does provide the "active seat" that the product description claims and it does make you use your core muscles if you sit up straight balanced over the center of the cushion.

The cushion is made of sturdy material and I think it will old up well. It came already inflated. It was too firm for me and I found it uncomfortable to sit on for more than 5-10 minutes. But, after I let a bit of air out, I found it much more comfortable. But, it's still not as comfortable to sit on as an exercise ball. I think that's because with the exercise ball, you can roll it around a little bit to relieve pressure points. With this cushion in your chair, you can't really reposition your seat. Also, I did not like sitting on the knobby side. I flipped it over to the smooth side and liked that better.

If you can't sit on an exercise ball at work, this cushion will give you some of the benefits. However, I think you are going to have to be pretty dedicated to using it to build up a tolerance for using it for extended periods of time. I think in most cases, it will end up tossed in a corner, unused.

2. 20 weeks pregnant; use at office
By dirtyHippie84 on December 9, 2015
Style Name: Cushion Verified Purchase
I'm about 20 weeks pregnant now and I got this so I could simulate sitting on a stability ball at work when I felt any discomfort. I've used it for a few days now and have decided that it's best done in smaller doses when you're not used to sitting on it for long periods of time. When i start feeling fatigue or posture getting really sloppy, then I use it, and it's been great. It's larger than I thought, so it's not as portable as I would like (I have two office locations that I travel to daily), and I hoped to take it home with me each night. I have resorted to leaving it at one of my office spaces because it's a pain to carry back and forth.
Still a nice reprieve from the old office chair when I need it.
