Seating Balls: Active Sitting That Comes Naturally

A seating ball is not a piece of sports equipment. It's a clever piece of furniture that challenges your body to sit upright without you having to consciously think about it. The unstable surface activates small stabilizing muscles in your back, abdomen, and pelvis. The result: better posture, less back pain, and more energy throughout the day. VLUV seating balls are available in multiple sizes and fabrics, so you can always find a model that suits your body and your interior.

Choosing the Right Size

Size is crucial for a seating ball. A ball that's too small will make you sit too low, while a ball that's too large will provide too little activation. As a rule of thumb: for a body height up to 155 cm, choose a ball of 50 to 55 cm; for 155 to 180 cm, choose 60 to 65 cm; and for 180 cm or taller, choose 70 to 75 cm. If you're unsure, slightly larger is always better, as you can inflate the ball a little less for a softer feel. The recommended size is listed in each product description. Combine your seating ball with a balance pod for extra variation in the workplace.

VLUV Fabrics and Quality

VLUV exclusively uses high-quality fabrics with stylish names like STOV, VLIP, VEGA, and LEIV. Each has its own character: STOV has a warm, mottled appearance in 100% polyester. VLIP is a coarse corduroy, tough and tactile. VEGA is completely vegan and has a warm leather look. LEIV has a soft, comfortable finish. All fabrics are durable, the seams are double-stitched, and the covers are removable and washable at 30 degrees Celsius. The inner balls are made of phthalate-free, seamless PVC and can support a user weight of approximately 150 kg.

Use and Maintenance

Each VLUV seating ball comes with a hand pump, adapters for a bicycle pump or compressor, and a reusable cotton carrying bag. The cover closes with a sturdy YKK zipper. Pumping to the desired firmness takes just minutes. When not in use, simply store the ball in the included bag.

Frequently Asked Questions about Seating Balls

Is a seating ball good for my back?

A seating ball can contribute to better posture and strengthen your core muscles, but it is not a medical device. Alternate it with a regular chair and start with short sessions. If you have existing back problems, it is advisable to consult a physical therapist first.

How long does it take to get used to it?

Most people notice that sitting on a seating ball becomes more natural after one to two weeks. Start with sessions of 20 to 30 minutes and gradually build up to one to three hours per day. Always listen to your body.

Can I also use a seating ball in the living room?

Certainly. A VLUV seating ball, with its stylish design and beautiful fabrics, is a real eye-catcher in the living room. Use it as an extra seat, for yoga or Pilates, or just for relaxed reading. The anti-roll ring at the bottom ensures the ball stays in place.

What is the difference between VLUV fabrics?

VLIP is corduroy with a coarse texture, tough and warm. STOV has a mottled appearance, soft and timeless. VEGA has a vegan leather look, robust and modern. LEIV has a soft, knitted look. VEEL combines breathable material with a leather-look finish. All variants are 100% polyester, durable, and washable.
