To what psi should the ball be inflated? I realize it's set up for diameter and circumference, but how much "give" should the ball have?

I make it hard so it is difficult to balance on when I lift weights. That being said if you are using it to lift weights or crunches having it slightly soft is safer and more effective until you get more practiced. I USE THE BALL SIX DAYS A WEEK AND HAVE FOUND IT TO BE A WONDERFUL AID. It has done wonders for my balance made my crunches far more effective. It should take about two weeks of 6 day a week use for your comfort zone to begin to start, enjoy.

I will usually fill the PSI to 45 while attaching my trailer... I typically tow 12,600Lbs. Then depending on road conditions, etc with the wireless remote (looks like and is about the size of a garage door opener) I adjust the PSI to comfort, usually 60 psi seams to take the bounce out and ride smooth as ice. Best part of having an onboard air adjustment system like this is at the end of the day you can easily fill the bags, and empty/lower the psi with a push of a button. Hope this helps.

You should under inflate it to about a 6' diameter. Measure the shadow it casts to get an approximation. As it ascends the helium will expand the balloon to the 20' diameter before it bursts.

The ball is deflated inside of the box. There is a hand pump inside the box that you must use to inflate the ball

No one says that you need to have air pump in order to inflate the ball.I purchase this and not able to play since i don't have air pump. Make sure you get air pump too.

Hello! The ball on our Reflex Bag is inflatable. We provide an air pump that is included in the package. There is a hole at the top where you pump the air, much like a traditional Basketball. We do not use a "rigid non-inflatable" ball"! For more information, please check out our website at http://www.eeMore.com. There, you can find more information about our product as well as some videos submitted by some of our users! If you have any other issues or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us! Thank you again for your continued interest!

It comes inflated... you can put more air into it to provide more bounce but it was fine for my needs. Its just a little larger than a volleyball, but smaller than a basketball. Inflating it does not make it expand it just creates more pressure within, to create more bounce.

I weigh 120 and it popped on me, they are going to make a 5000 pound ball, they sent me one to replace mine. I don't know if they have them for sale yet, you might want to contact the company. Also I have a play ball that I have had for 20 plus years, you might like it better, made by Sport Fun, or at least that's the name of it. They used to make 3 sizes, I used it to bounce my daughter, and now my grandson to sleep several times a day, it has held up beautifully. I know it holds 300 lbs bouncing.. I can tell you the new black mountain ball is much sturdier than the old one, and far thicker material. Hope this helps.

As a matter of fact, I purchased this originally as a ball pit for my son. 200 balls fills it up about half way. 300 may be a little more than what you need, but it should fill it up near the top if you do. I didn't go higher than 200 because of the nature of what kids will do in it, displacement is inevitable.

It is recommended to inflate with a foot pump or an air compressor. Recommended working pressure is 2.5 psi (0.17 bar). Please see owner's manual for additional inflation instructions.

The chair comes with it's own ball, and a circumference tape to check inflation. If the ball is sinking through it is underinflated. I had that problem in the beginning, and once properly inflated (by air compressor not the cheesy hand pump)it has been fine. I'm sure you could use a larger ball, I tried one but it was actually too tall once in the chair frame and I went back to the original. And yes you do lose the back support with a larger ball, but the whole point of the chair is to engage your lower body, so the backrest has always seemed more cosmetic than functional to me.

You should return it. If a ball arrives soft there typically is a very slight leak and will always be going flat. They leave the factory hard. Mine took a few weeks toose air so we were stuck with it. To answer your direct question: you need s basketball pin sold at any sports store for $1 then fill it like a tire.

Hi, I don't recall how it was measured. Only know that it arrived being much larger than expected. i would call the company's customer service. also, fyi, this is a very sturdy ball; however, the blue peanut has never inflated evenly.

It was small as it needs to be pumped. I would said 5inch x 7 inch box. The ball when pumped is huge, but my wife found it to smell too much rubbery so we don't use it. Ron

Hi Alison, The ball should have come with a plastic straw. Insert this into the ball and inflate by blowing by mouth. The ball doesn't have to be inflated beyond what you can do by mouth. Just be careful when you put the white plastic plug in the inflation hole to seal it. This is where you can loose some of your pressure. This may take a few tries until you get the technique. Be ready to cover the hole with your finger after taking the straw out. Take the straw out of the ball while you're still blowing into the ball. Good luck!!

I usually let it set for 2 hrs at 130*. The best thing to do is put a timer in the outlet and then plug in the machine and set it for 2 hrs. The reason..... Many times did I forget I had a ball drying..... Luckily no damage to the ball after 4 hrs.....lol.

There is a small plastic piece that holds the air in. To inflate you can use a handheld pump, like the kind if you were inflating a pool float. The pump is not included with this ball.
