Well, it looks more like a stool to me. I haven't been able to quit thinking about it since sitting on one last week while looking for a office chair for my daughter.

The Swopper is a German design, with a convex seat. It moves somewhat like a pogo stick: up and down, side to side, etc. It does away with static posture since it keeps you in motion a lot. The seat promotes proper posture. Because you are moving on it alot, it helps to increase core and back strength.

I was amazed how comfortable I was on it, despite the notion that it looks silly. I would love to hear from anyone who has actually used one for more than a couple of minutes.

I've never seen one before but can't help thinking they are not quite right for bar chairs lol

That's what I thought...I laughed when I first saw it, then I sat on it, and wow, it was amazingly comfortable. I found it at an ergonomic place, "Relax the Back"

It sure would be great if it really does this!

The other name of that chair is probably "don't drink and sew" lol It seems to be like one of those exercise balls on a stick. Great for posture and building abdominal muscles while you sit.

Perhaps something could be embroidered on the seat cover, a warning sign!
