I typically never right reviews unless I really feel compelled to do so…..this is one of those times. I’m someone who believes in buying something good and buying it once. We work hard for our money and for me I want to get the most out of my purchases. What that means for me is the products I buy need to last, hopefully provide value, look good and make me actually use the thing. The air chair is one of those things.
Ive been using the air chair for well over 4 months now and I couldn’t go back to a “regular” computer chair. The biggest thing I first noticed was that it forces me to be in a good posture effortlessly. The by product of that I believe is this new found energy and focus I’ve gained during serious sessions of work. It’s bizarre to say but using the chair has given me a strange boost of energy. I also used to have a terrrrrible habit of slouching and leaning back on a normal computer chair which I’m sure was never good. I had a hard time choosing a colour I went with the desert colour I would call it more of a light orange though. I’ve grown to really love it but if I had to choose all over again I would probably go grey or tan.
Where the value really lies for me personally is its use case as an exercise ball. I have gotten in the habit of using it to stretch with in the evenings. Learned a couple movements from YouTube now I can’t stop doing them. Love that I have one piece of “furniture” functioning as a piece of exercise equipment. That for me is the true value of the product. I definitely had some hesitation, let’s be real it’s expensive but in my opinion it’s worth it. I got rid of my old computer chair and my terrible old and tiny exercise ball and replaced it with this.
TIPS!
- I’m 5’8 and the large is great, small wouldn’t have been ideal for me at a desk.
- when using it to stretch, if your not using carpet I found I need a mat underneath because it would slip on me with certain movement’s.
- when siting on it I’ll take small breaks from work and move my hips in a figure 8 and I just think it feels good
