Reduces and prevents back pain
Your back pain is often due to long hours of work behind your desk in a seated and static position. A prolonged static position, especially if it is poorly adjusted, puts pressure on the spine and can lead to back problems.
Unlike traditional seating, the innovative design of the Bloon Active Seat is specially designed to distribute your body weight evenly, reducing pressure on your lower back and therefore preventing and reducing your back pain. The Bloon Active Seat helps you adopt good posture naturally.
Boosts productivity and strengthens concentration
A study conducted in Sweden comparing the benefits of active sitting with those of a traditional chair for office workers shows that participants using active sitting perform the equivalent of light physical activity while sitting, which contributes to better concentration and productivity.
By constantly encouraging movement and promoting good posture, Bloon active seating helps you improve your concentration and productivity. In addition, alternating between sitting and standing positions is also an effective way to boost your attention and concentration.
To be able to alternate between sitting and standing, we recommend setting up an ergonomic workstation with a sit-stand desk. To learn more about how to set up your ergonomic workstation, read our article: Ergonomic workstation: How to set up your office
Tones the muscles of the back, pelvis and abdominals
When you sit on the Bloon Active Seat, your back, pelvis and abdominal muscles are engaged to maintain balance and good posture. This helps strengthen your core while encouraging good posture with relaxed shoulders, a straight back and feet flat on the floor. Additionally, the Bloon Active Seat promotes a neutral pelvic tilt, which is essential for maintaining the natural alignment of your spine.
Improves blood circulation
When you sit for a long time, your blood circulation can slow down, causing blood to pool in your legs. This can lead to fatigue, swelling, and pain.
By promoting movement, especially in the legs, Bloon Active Seating helps improve blood circulation and therefore reduce fatigue and pain. In addition, it provides continuous oxygenation and essential nutrients to your muscles and tissues.
Good blood circulation is important for your overall health, as it reduces the risk of blood clots, improves the removal of metabolic waste from muscles, and contributes to better cardiovascular function.
Helps you stay active in the office
The Bloon active seat allows you to stay active even when sitting, but not only that, the Bloon ball seat can also be used as sports equipment in the office to perform muscle strengthening or stretching exercises.
