Has anyone tried this purple sit upon? Is it comfortable or worth it? Wondering about purchasing one.

a chiropractor spoke to our guild once and recommended them. I have not tried them

I purchased one recently, but I am not extremely happy with it. I thought it would be the solution to my pain while sitting any lenght of time, but still have major problems. I've even tried it in the car. I would think twice about the purchase.

I considered this thing myself, but didn't want to risk the $$. I have fibromyalgia, and my right hip is a major problem when it comes to sitting. Nothing helps except not sitting. Which can be a problem because I don't want to stand to sew.

epinions.com rates it at 2-1/2 out of 5. I think I would save my money. It just looks like an inflatable cushion.

I just googled it and we use those @ the chiropractor's office to mobilize your spine before adjustments. IMO what it would do if you used it all day is strengthen the core muscles so you are more fit. Kinda like using a yoga ball as your office chair, kwim?

I purchased one about a year ago and didn't like it. I have lower back problems and hoped this would be the answer, but it didn't help me.

I'm new to the site. I'll work on that.

looks interesting, as I get "numb bum" from sitting at the machine too long.
