Alternatives to Swopper Chairs

Ball Chairs

• Offices are switching out desk chairs for another bouncy alternative similar to Swopper chairs. Companies like FitBall provide burst resistant exercise-style balance balls as seating options. Offering a free range of motion, ball chairs also engage back and abdominal muscles, giving users better posture, balance and muscle tone. Balls come in freestanding, stool and back-support options.

Saddle Shape Chairs

• The closest style to a standard office chair, saddle shape chairs match the ergonomic design of Swopper chairs with a circular base and thin stem. Available in stool and back-supporting options, these chairs get their name from the triangular, saddle shaped seat.

Kneeling Chairs

• Another variation on the stool, kneeling chairs feature two pressure-relieving pads for both sitting and kneeling. Knees rest against the bottom pad to better align posture with minimal effort. The kneeling style was one of the first chair types to address the problems cause by typical right-angle seating.

Zero Gravity Chairs

• In a home and personal setting, zero gravity chairs can be a great alternative to Swopper chairs. Generally a folding style recliner, the zero gravity chair type is based off of NASA technology and aims to reduce spine pressure and muscle tension. The reclining style also increases circulation and blood oxygen levels.
