URBNFit Wobble Cushion - Balance Disc for Core Stability, Strengthening, Physical Therapy Exercise, Office Chair or Kids Classroom - Sensory Wiggle Seat Pad w/Air Pump

I purchased two of these after using balance aids in Pilates class and realizing how helpful it is to add a challenge to things like planks and other exercises. I keep one at home, and one at work where I have a stand-up desk.At work I mostly sit or stand on it while working, and absolutely love using it. I definitely feel added stability and flexion in my feet/ankles after beginning to use this at my standing desk, although I can only go for a little while before my ankles get tired. Bonus: we work with children on the Autism spectrum, and wobble cushions are popular and effective for helping our clients to focus - if needed, a child can borrow mine during a session, or I can allow them to sit on it while waiting for an appointment.At home, I use it mostly while exercising and also as a lumbar support when sitting to do crochet or watch a movie.Exercise aid, active sitting, or lumbar cushion - I've found these to be effective for all listed purposes. They're much more affordable (although smaller) than the well-known name brand balance aid that we use in Pilates, so until I can afford one of those, this is exactly the solution I wanted.

I'm not sure if I should give the "stability" metric 5 stars or 1 star. The purpose of the "Balance Disk" is to *challenge* stability. If you're looking for an exercise prop that is perfectly stable and makes it easier to balance, then this is definitely not the product for you, if that is not apparent already. If you're looking for an exercise prop that has varying levels of instability in relation to extent of inflation, then this is the perfect prop for you. In terms of pain relief, I personally do not experience pain; however, it does well to challenge ankle stability, given a consistent balance regimen. So, I imagine that would reduce pain for certain people with pain that may be alleviated through ankle stability. It's good for acupressure for your hands and kinda fun to play with if you need a short desk break. It seems sturdy enough for your dog to play and chew on. Great as an acupressure foot rest, especially if you have two. You can also use it to strengthen your wrists if it does not meet your expectations and you decide to throw it across a field to your dog or against a wall to your malfunctioning clock. Will not deform after throwing, so you can throw it again.

Does exactly what it's supposed to do - forces me to balance. I stand on it at work at my standing desk.I like it a lot for the most part but after a while the little spikes (regardless of which side you use) start to hurt because they stab into the bottoms of your feet. I have to wear socks or else I need to get off at the 5 minute mark. If I wear socks I can last 10-15. If I added a towel I think I could last indefinitely and the limiting factor would be getting tired of balancing. I wish the spikes were less stabby but I still use it every day.It was perfectly inflated for my needs.

The cushion is well made, inflated easily, and does not slip on the floor. It is precisely what a personal trainer ordered. It is, however, challenging. It is not for those who are having trouble with balance, but for those who have decent balance and are working on strengthening it. So use it for what it is intended for and it will be a great addition to your fitness equipment.

I bought this for my desk at work because I have a shifting sit/stand desk and by the end of the day, I'm leaning desperately over my keyboard or sitting so severely in a question mark fashion that I look like the dad working at his computer from the Coraline movie. I've only been using this for a little bit and I'm surprised how much of a difference it makes. I sit tall like a king and my posture has improved dramatically when I put the desk in standing position.I'm not a small person in any sense of the word- 6', 180lbs and the thing holds up really well. I was impressed with the durability and strength of the rubber. Would absolutely recommend for people who are like me: think they could get good use out of one of those yoga balls as a desk seat but still want the option of a chair.

I find it a bit small. I would like to be able to easily stand on it with both feet. I am a small person, so I think it might be hard for some. Worth trying, though, because you can return it if it doesn't work. I would like to use it in bare feet, but the nubbly surface is not comfortable. However, it does keep you from sliding. Overall, a very good price and worth adding to your repertoire of workout gadgets.

This cushion is great for my lower back and hips. I can tilt my pelvis back and forth, move in a circle and side to side. The cushion firmness is adjustable and easily fits on my chair. For someone who has to sit all day for my job it has really made a difference in my back pain. I notice when I don’t use it.I did try to do the lifetime warranty registration but it kept taking me back to Amazon so not sure what that is about but for $20 I am not concerned.

Have incorporated this into my daily routine. Easy to use and it comes with a set of exercises in paper and online. Was a little hard to inflate at first, but now I can easily do it. Have already felt a difference in my balance and strength. Wish I had known about this a long time ago! I have back issues and this has definitely helped me isolate some muscles for some of the exercises I need to do. I also traveled with it easily! Deflated and fit perfectly into my suitcase!
