Who sits on it

Pick a wobble cushion by who will use it

A child on a classroom chair, an adult on an office chair and a workout at home each call for a different diameter, limit and shape. Pick the situation, then compare the listed figures.

Kids on a classroom chair

A child's chair seat is small, so the disc has to sit inside it without hanging over the edge. Smaller seats list age ranges; classroom multi-packs share one size.

Look for: 10.75 to 13.8 inch discs, an age range on the listing, a pump in the box

All wiggle seats for kids →Flexible seating for the classroom →

Adults on an office or dining chair

An adult seat takes a wider disc. Check the weight limit where the listing gives one, and expect the seat to sit a little higher once the disc is inflated.

Look for: 13 to 16 inch discs, a stated weight limit, two textured sides

All balance cushions for adults →Wobble cushion vs exercise ball chair →

Standing work and home workouts

For standing, the platform matters more than the seat: half balls, round wobble boards and rocker boards each move differently. The listed weight limits run from 265 to 350 lbs.

Look for: a listed weight limit, a non-slip top, a size that fits under the desk

Sizes to scale

Wobble cushion diameters, drawn to scale

From a 26 cm junior seat to a 26 inch half ball, each circle is drawn at its listed diameter. Measure the chair seat or the floor space first; the disc should sit fully inside it.

Which Wobble Cushion for kids fits a classroom chair?

Child-size wiggle seats start at 10.75 inches for ages 3-7 and go up to 13.8-inch discs sold in packs of 2, 4 and 6 for whole classrooms. Match the seat to the chair as much as to the child: a low preschool chair suits the Bouncy Bands Small, while older students fit the 13-inch sizes. A single seat for an adult desk chair sits in the next line.

Set it up

How much to inflate a wobble cushion

  1. Use the pump in the box

    A hand pump or the one that came with the disc. A compressor can over-fill it in seconds.

  2. Sit and stop

    For sitting, add air until you no longer feel the chair through the disc, then stop. It should still give a little under a firm press.

  3. Softer or firmer

    Softer feels steadier and sits lower; firmer tilts more and sits higher. Kids and beginners usually do better a bit softer.

  4. Top up after a week

    New discs often soften in the first week as the material settles. Add a little air then rather than over-filling on day one.

From the inflation guide on this site. For standing drills, add some air for more challenge, but never so much that the disc domes and rolls.

Questions to settle before you order

What size wiggle seat fits a preschool or elementary chair?
The child sizes are the 10.75-inch Bouncy Bands Small for ages 3-7, the 12-inch AppleRound Jr. for ages 3 to 13, and the 26 x 26 cm Gymnic Disc 'O' Sit Jr. for ages 3 and up with a 100 lb limit. Students on standard chairs can move up to a 13-inch disc such as the Bouncy Bands Large, marked for ages 6-18+.
Which balance disc covers a wide office chair?
The Gaiam disc is 16 inches, the widest seat cushion in the range, and the Gymnic Disc 'O' Sit measures 39 cm. Most other discs are 13 to 13.8 inches. Measure the flat part of your chair seat: a 13-inch disc leaves more of the seat free around the edges.
Is a pump included, or do the seats come inflated?
Most single seats include a hand pump, among them AppleRound, Trideer, Tumaz, RFAQK, kisnbld, Hanstuten, FITMIND and Gaiam. The Leitee, Sotiff and Outus packs share 1 pump per set. The Therapist's Choice disc arrives pre-inflated, the Bintiva and Bouncy Bands seats ship inflated with a pump for adjustments, and the Revbalance cushion inflates by mouth.
How much weight can a Wobble Cushion or balance board hold?
Seats: Gymnic Disc 'O' Sit Jr. 100 lbs, Gymnic Disc 'O' Sit 270 lbs, Tumaz 330 lbs, RFAQK and Outus 450 lbs, FITMIND 660 lbs, Amylove and Hanstuten 1000 lb. Boards: Amazon Basics 265 lb, Yes4All and EVERYMILE 300 lbs, BOSU and StrongTek 350 lbs.
Are the seats in a multi-pack the same size as single seats?
Close to it. Amylove 6-packs are 13.8 inches per seat, Sotiff and Outus 13.4 inches, Leitee 13.39 inches and Libima about 13 inches, against 13 to 13.5 inches for most single seats. If one child needs a smaller seat, a pack will not cover that; buy a child size separately.
Which balance board suits a standing desk?
The StrongTek rocker board and the Yes4All surf board are both sold for standing desk use, and the CanDo Economy board is light enough to move between rooms. The Revbalance cushion and rocker combo pairs with a Revbalance board. Use the Amazon Basics board on a dry, non-slip floor only.

About this guide

An independent guide, figures from the listings

  • Not a maker

    Wobble Cushion is the name of this guide. Every product is made and sold by the brand shown on its card.

  • Figures as listed

    Diameters, heights, ages and weight limits come from each Amazon listing; where a listing gives none, the card says so.

  • Sorted by user

    Kids' seats, adult discs and standing boards are kept apart, because size and limit differ the most between them.

  • No health promises

    Descriptions stick to size, texture and what is in the box; questions about a child's needs or an injury belong with a professional.

Measure the seat, then pick the disc

Wiggle seats for kids, balance discs for adult chairs, and boards and half balls for standing and workouts, from Bouncy Bands, AppleRound, Gaiam, Gymnic, BOSU, StrongTek and more. Check diameter and weight limit on each Amazon listing.
