Q: Can this be used as a seat cushion to help with sciatica?

Q: What is meant by the statement that the product cannot be used on painted or finished surfaces ? Does this mean it cannot be used on hardwood floors ?
submitted by Xercizer - 3 years ago
A: Please do not place the Balance Disc directly on painted or finished surfaces. We recommend placing something in between the disc and the surface like a towel.

Q: If i want my cushion to be more challenging while sitting on it, should i inflate to make it more firm?
submitted by Nataly - 5 years ago
A: I recommend deflating the cushion slightly for a greater challenge. More instability creates a greater challenge as it encourages you to use your core and stabilizing muscles more!

Q: Does this cushion come with a pump? Thanks.
submitted by kxmo - 7 years ago
A: This does not come with a pump. The cushion will arrive pre-inflated and does include an inflation needle that can be attached to a standard hand pump if you ever need to add or remove air.
The balance disc has received mixed feedback from guests, with many praising its comfort and effectiveness in improving posture and core strength during long hours of sitting. It is particularly beneficial for those working from home or in sedentary jobs, as it encourages active sitting and helps alleviate back pain. However, some guests have reported issues with the material sticking to skin and damaging surfaces, which may require caution in use.

Threw it away
The ridges/lines make this very uncomfortable to sit on. Also, the material gets tacky when hot. I didn't use it for a few weeks. It was propped next to my desk and a painted wall. When I went to move it, it had stuck to the desk and removed paint from the desk and the wall. In FL but an air conditioned room but very humid.

We are sorry to hear this and recommend placing a towel or fabric in between the cushion on painted or finished surfaces. Do not place the Gaiam Balance Disc directly on painted on finished surfaces.

Comfortable for the home office
The disc is so comfortable and is a lot better than a yoga ball chair. We purchased multiples for our home office. Highly recommend.

Buyer beware
The box was opened and damaged upon arrival. The product is not inflated and no pin is included. How can I use it?

Favorite Office Toy
I know this isn't a toy, but I had to reference that in my title since everyone in my office wants to try it out whenever I bring it out. It definitely helps with my posture throughout the day and engaging my core so I'm not just sitting at a desk for 8 hours out of the day. I also like to stand on it as a balance challenge when using my desk in it's standing form. I've already bought one as a gift and will probably end up buying more.

Works well!
I use this for my home office chair. Very comfortable and helps with posture. I’m pregnant, so I wanted this disc to help support my lower back.

I would buy this Balance Disc again.
Use the product on dining room chairs to work on balance and keeping back straight to prevent slouching while eating. Better for digestion.

Do not buy this
This product completely damaged one of my chairs and partially ruined another one. Customer service sent me the warning about some surfaces, but in reality, this would not be safe on a fabric surface or even on your floor to exercise. Company is not accountable and in reality this has given me lowe back problems from three weeks of use. For context, I am active, fit, and a certified yoga instructor. This has completely turned me off of the brand. Do not buy. This product is a liability. *review sourced from Gaiam

My expensive uncomfortable chair is comfortable again!
This product has tightened my core just by sitting, it's amazing. The best thing is that I had an expensive chair and I keep buying them but I sit so much that nothing is comfortable. I had been sitting on my Gaiam ball and decided to order another for my other office. This was the perfect solution for the uncomfortable expensive chair that I currently had. Thank's for saving me from having to search for another chair, from hereonout it's all about the Gaiam ball! *review sourced from Gaiam

Thoroughly enjoy this product.
I absolutely love this balance disc. I sit all day at work. I can feel the effect of this working gently on my core. I sit up straighter in my office chair, which it fit well in. I would use this as a gift for my fellow co-workers that, like myself, must sit a lot for our job. *review sourced from Gaiam

Not going to purchase- I have nothing to inflate it with!
I REALLY want to try this, but being disabled and low-income, I do not have a way to inflate it if it arrives deflated as some have mentioned or adjustment is needed later. I've never owned a pump for anything and they do not seem to be universal, nor do I see one offered for this product. Why not? I seriously need this for pain relief and can't understand why all items needed would not be offered together (like the larger balls for sitting which are too advanced for me at this stage). There are enough great reviews to justify the purchase, but not if I'm not able to get everything needed to use it. Thanks for the time. *review sourced from Gaiam

I sold my daughter in law on the disc without trying.
I use the balance disc at my desk and move it to the dining room if having guests for dinner. I also use it when I am sewing. My daughter-in-law used it while she was here and told me she was going to get one as she works in an office and sits pretty much all day. *review sourced from Gaiam
