One of my friends has one, she says they are quite comfortable.

Those looked like a good idea to me too, and I got two. Would you believe I get motion sick when I sit on one? Tried several time, and got nauseated each time.... gave them away.

I never heard of such a thing - had to go to one of the websites listed so I could see what it was. It looks like it would be uncomfortable, but I suppose if I had back pain, I'd try just about anything. Good luck on relieving yours.

A gal at work uses one of the large exercise balls instead of a chair. She says it helps her back, her posture and her core balance.

I work with typical & special needs kids. Yes these cushions are used for ADD and kids with sensory needs. It help ADD kids move 'in' their chairs rather than 'out' of their chairs and helps others organize their sensory needs. OT's love them. I am not sure about helping with the back.

I have a one of those large exercise balls as well. I use it when I'm sitting at the computer. I like to try to balance on it. It's great for low back pain.
Exercise balls are also being used in some classrooms as well. They allow movement while sitting. New research is looking at increasing attention by allowing the children movement while 'sitting'.
For me though my back does get tired because there's no back support with the ball only.

I have one and love it. It helps you sit up straighter/core strength. I live in MN and bought it at a local quilt shop.

Investagoogle a term called 'move'n'sit, sounds like the same cushion sold as a therapy tool. I think they come in small, mediium, and large.

I had one of those cushions once. Bought it at a quilt show. Couldn't get rid of it soon enough. Personally, they were more trouble keeping them in place than they were worth, plus they did not help the back any at all. Just my opion.

Sounds like it may be something that will help you!

I purchased mine at a LQS about a year ago and I love it. In fact, my DH also likes it I think as I frequently find it on his computer chair in the foyer.
