By now we all know that sitting at a desk all day is disastrous for our health. It’s no longer uncommon to see a stability ball tucked underneath a co-worker’s desk in place of a traditional chair. Having attempted ball-as-chair at home, my biggest complaint was that the moment I got up, the ball rolls away or shifts. In a work environment, the visual of a stability ball–even a stability ball in a chair frame– still gives me more of a gym rather than a professional vibe. The Jellyfish bouncy chair fixes that with quite simply the most ingenious solution: placing the ball in frame but covering it in a polyester/Spandex fabric. The result? A chair that looks cool, stays in place, and still provides the same benefits to your core and posture.
The Jellyfish bouncy chair is available at ThinkGeek for $119.99.

Are you guys really using that as office charis in USA? I hope that doesn’t cross the Atlantic like the powerbalance did…
Read a few articles that say sitting on a ball doesn’t help the back, posture, or help you lose weight.
But I must admit the jellyfish looks cool.
That thing looks pretty comfortable. I have the traditional ball in the attic now. It was more useful for workout routines than as an office seat. I found I could sit still and slouch just as easily on that as any other chair. It was a myth that we’d need constant hip and waist movement (exercise) to remain balanced on it.
