VIA Swopper Chair Review - ergonomic chair

[jonasmcferreira]

Love the idea and concept, however... better off buying a Swiss ball for 5% of the money :)

My sister has won this swopper once, it is much fun sitting on it, especially all the movement, by balancing your weight around you can have the swopper turn around without even pushing you with your feet or hands from the table you're sitting on and it bounces nicely!

good product and good demo.

Just the fact that she was able to tilt the off its base of stability during the demonstration at 2:14 worries me about the range of motion. Is the base made of plastic or steel? At 23lbs but rated for someone 290lbs, I am little concerned about the quality. I'm weigh about 170lbs so, I guess that's not an issue but is there a way to have this sent to my office for a trial? I like the idea but I would have to see it for myself. Thank you.

I have 2...

I tried one, but wasn't comfortable. I have to use a knee sit chair otherwise my lower back hurts. But looking at this video, I can imaging a saddle/straddle seat being very comfortable.

Really like the look of this and then found the price - £550 for a sponge on a spring!

You are so clueless, Tarded?

[SHITPEAS]

Er, qualify that remark. I am an intelligent human being. I love the look of the chair and appreciate the work that's gone into it but they cost way too much.

A friend introduced me to this. Thought it looked silly at first, and the Swopper site is dead slow/old. Glad I persisted, and found this video. I'm definitely getting one, it makes so much sense. Thanks for making the benefits clear.

It looks like something I would like to have, but its not cheap. I wonder if the Gaiam Pilates Ball chair is just as good?

[sharpanator]

yes i saw, over 500 Euro for the basic version.

Not a chance. Check out Ergoweb for a discussion by ergonomists. A ball is BAD, not enough support and a disaster waiting to happen.

this thing is Awesome!!!

I tested it a few times in my boss office
