I liked the idea of the Gypsy Sit Upon, but didn't like the price. So I went to the sporting goods store and found this. It is for balance training but it is identical to the Sit Upon. I find that I can sit for hours sewing and not get a back ache or sore shoulders. I've started using it for long trips too. It was only $19.

Hmmmm...... Maybe I should try something like this.

Interesting............is it soft or padded?

It feels like a flat ball. It is filled with air so you kind of rotate around on it. I used to have to get up and move around because I would get stiff. Now I can move freely while sitting. Feels strange at first, now I use one at my computer and at my sewing machine.

I got mine years ago online from Dynadisc Exertools.

I believe it was originally for physical therapy and balance strenghtening.

I can inflate it to my own level of comfort.

I goes with me on retreats and such.

great idea

at least it's got gripper bumps too so you don't slide off if you wiggle too much

And the other side has longer grippers so it doesn't slide on the chair. Stays where you put it.

ROFL....this way we can exercise and sew at the same time right?

Actually, I do sit on it and stretch. Hold my tummy in too, well, try anyway!!
