We've been there. Sitting at a desk all day. We all know it's not good for us - in fact some health professionals regard sitting as 'the new smoking'.

That's why we've come up with a sitting ball that is not only a stylish piece of furniture, it encourages you to engage your core, keep active during the day and encourages regular breaks from your work.

We're so confident you'll enjoy active sitting with us that we offer 30 day returns no questions asked!

To get you up and rolling we've got some useful hints and tips below that'll get you going:

Active Sitting

It's a type of sitting that allows you to move more while remaining in a seated position, reducing time spent in a static seated position. A round based seat encourages you to activate your core, while being mindful of your balance and posture. Stronger abdominal muscles protect the lower back and moving while seated also stimulates your blood circulation and concentration.

How to choose your size?

Sizes based on height are approximate. We acknowledge all body shapes are different and if you're still unsure after reading this guide, please seek advice from your local physiotherapist or occupational therapist.

Sitting ball: 65cm.

A typical desk height ranges from 74cm to 76cm (29 to 30 inches). Typically a 65cm ball is most suited when sitting to ensure a suitable bend in the elbow for working at a standard desk. If you're under 5'5" you may need to use the ball in conjunction with a foot rest to ensure a comfortable seating posture.

Exercising ball: 4'8" - 5'5" (55cm), 5'6" - 6'0" (65cm), 6'1" - 6'5" (75cm)

Daily stretching

Sitting on the Esfera wellness ball encourages you to stretch during the day. Sitting all day can have negative impacts on your health so its important to get up from your seat, take a walk and stretch.
