I have several exercise balls, love them for working out on, but would not reccommend it for sewing/quilting. Then there is the possible pin prick problem and then a flat ball.

I attended a Harrient Hargrave machine quilting class. The whole first portion of the class was on quilting ergonomically! She has a Hermann Miller chair. That didn't fit my bocy well and was way too expensive for me. So I saw what the secretarial staff were using: a Swopper. I talked the store manager into letting me try the Swopper over the weekend. I loved it so much I ordered one. I got it from an higer end office furniture store. It is fully adjustable for height, no wheels, so I have it on a little throw rug to protect my wood floors and so I can move it a bit. It cost a bit more but is really worth it. It is like sitting on a balance ball in that it forces you to use good posture. I know you can find it online.
This sounds like a good chair! I'll have to check it out!
Just checked it out on You tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0oovXobVX4 Looks like a chair for me, but a bit pricy at this point :(
