I got this for my chair and it was the wrong size. Every website I looked at said to get a 52, but I went the next size up. The brand is a very good brand and the material is thick. The last ball I had for my chair lasted almost 2 years before I had to replace it. I tried getting the biggest size after this one and looks like medium size will be best

I’ve had a ball chair for a decade now because of hip and IT band injuries. I can’t sit in a regular office chair without pain, so my orthopedic doctor recommended it and I’ll never go back to other desk chairs. So I have one at the office where I work but then when the pandemic happened I got one to work from home as well. Fortunately for GAIAM and unfortunately for me I have a cat who loves to scratch on the ball to get my attention. I have a Turkish cotton blanket covering the ball and I keep his nails trimmed but he works hard to sharpen his murder claws so it’s an ongoing battle and sometimes the ball loses. I keep two backup balls in the closet at all times so I don’t have to suffer for days without one. I’m very glad they’re at an affordable price point. Also! I sometimes use the ball for a core exercise that my physical therapist taught me while rehabbing the hip injury. Btw it’s easy to inflate with the included hand pump, and it does take a day or two to let the material stretch so it can be fully inflated and sat on. If you’re someone who has trouble using a hand pump, there are also foot pumps available.

I had bought the chair that has this ball size, and it has been about 8-10 years ago, so the ball finally had a puncture and needed replacing. This is excellent, now chair is great again.

I got this ball as a chair to sit on. I am on the higher side of it's weight limit and thus ball is holding up perfectly. Very comfortable. Exactly what I was looking for

This ball is extremely hard. My butt goes numb in a few minutes. Way smaller and I contacted the company to ensure it’s the right size. They said it was. The chair I bought years ago was this super pretty green color and the ball matched. It was normal size and extremely soft to sit in which was great for lower back pain and SI joint pain relief. After having this chair for 6 or 7 years or so, the ball developed a teeny gash. So I bought this replacement. NO!! They don’t make the original ball anymore. There is no way I would sit on this ball for 5 mins at work. I even let my kid bounce on it to adjust and break in. Nope. Hard and way too small. Customer service with the company doesn’t seem to care. So if anyone wants to buy my chair base, let me know or send me a better ball that I can fit on my chair.

This is the second ball I've needed for my chair and I thought I bought the right one but when I got it and blew it up it was so SMALL! They say to blow it up, let it sit a day, deflate it, then blow it up again to stretch it out enough. I measured it over and over, let air out and filled it up 3 times in the first 4 days, and still it was only 38cm max when it should have been 52. It does make a difference since the chair is already so short. Anyway, I let it sit for like 2 weeks then tried filling it up again and low and behold it stretched out A LOT, it can go to 56cm. I was worried I'd have to send it back, but it just takes a lot of time to stretch out. The first one did not, though.

This ball fits my ball chair perfectly. At first the ball was far too small when first inflated. I let the ball sit for a few days then let half the air out and re-inflated it. It was then the perfect size. The firmness is also ideal for tummy crunches (not on the chair mind you) and other exercises. The material of the ball holds the shape and doesn't squish flat like a balloon as some balls do. I recommend this product. Will likely buy another.

Most of the customer reviews are right that the ball arrives in a smaller size. However, if you follow the instructions that the company states the ball is the right size. I purchase the ball to replace the original ball to my chair. When my balance ball arrived, it was smaller, but I filled up the ball, waited a day, or overnight (either way, the ball just needs time to stretch). The next day, I deflated the ball about 50% then inflate the ball with my air compressor. Guess what? The ball was the right size to fit into the chair. The material of the ball feels more durable than the original ball (maybe that's why the ball needs time to stretch).Take the reviews as a grain of salt. The company, in its description, states that the ball needs time to stretch and estimate how long to wait. The ball is the right size, just read and follow directions!

Cabe a la perfección en sillas Gaiam. La compré porque compré de oferta la silla con pelota verde y aún comprando esta negra adicional el precio de ambos artículos fue menor que comprar la silla con pelota negra.Buen tamaño para otras actividades como Yoga o balance.El material es agradable al tacto y se percibe resistente.

ball sent is way too small to be 52cm - more like 45cm, so does not fit the ball chair!

After I received my ball and pumped it up with the hand pump that came with the original ball and chair, I found that it was much too small for my chair and prepared to return the item. Then I read some of the reviews and found that the ball needs to be inflated as much as possible so that it's tight and then left to stretch for a bit. I used our air compressor and let mine sit overnight, about 8 hours. In the morning the ball was softer and I was able to add more air. I brought it back to work with me and it fits perfectly! Very happy to not have to return and try to find a ball that 'fits'!
