Could I use this base with my 65cm ball? I love my ball and it's inflated just right, but it's too low for sitting at my desk. I am 5'6" 170 lbs.

Hi Gretchen, From what I can tell by measuring my ball to 65cm, I don't see why not. There is plenty of room in the chair for a bigger ball. You can always deflate the ball and adjust the base height until you get the comfort level you want. Hope this helps!

The first thing you should consider is the desk height. When you sit on a chair or a ball, the distance between your legs and the top of the desk should be a couple of cms. Depending on the height of the desk, you can make the first judgement call on the size of the exercise ball. If the height is adjustable, great. If not, measure the distance from the ground to the top of your desk. Next, if you read the forums, you will notice that they recommend the 65cm for a person of your height. Similar to another user, I went against that recommendeded size and chose the 75cm. However, I have not inflated mine to the full potential. The key factor is that your legs should form a 90 degree angle and still be able to plant both feet on the ground. I use the 75cm ball as a full time office desk chair replacement and am very happy with it. My desk is adjustable and hence this helped. The 65cm would have been a tad too low and hence my decision to go for the 75cm one. Hope this helps in your decision making process.

Hi, Yes, the ball is a little small, exactly which chair do you have? I 've bough two and my husband's ball is much bigger than mine but the chairs we have are different. I thought mine was supposed to be as big as his, I think the description said they were the same size but mine is definitely smaller. It works out for me because I'm a girl and I am smaller than him so it was perfect for me. I hope this helps.

Is the skirt floor length? We had a issue because our table was too thick--it was about 2 inches. It almost cracked the attachment. Without having it on me, I believe you should be fine. You may want to order better quality balls. They were a little too flimsy. Hope that helps.

it would be great if someone could invent wheels for this base because it would not add much for height and width. I am a short person and the ball chairs available at this time either raise me up too high and the width of the base is uncomfortably wide.

The diameter should be 55 centimeters, from one side to the other side going through the center. I think some companies may make the same size in different colors. My understanding is that the size should be on your ball, either near the brand name or around the end where it is to be inflated. I would check for a size, perhaps you were sent a wrong size.

I know this post is two months old, but I just received this exercise ball today. I'm also using it as a computer chair, and am replacing a previous ball that was a gift and my cat saw fit to use as a scratching post substitute. I have mixed initial impressions of this Max Fitness ball. It seems sturdy, but not tall enough for someone who's 6' 0". I'll try it out for a few days of course, but I'll be taking a look around Amazon to see if there's anything larger. Unfortunately I don't know the size or even brand of my previous ball so I can't compare, but it was noticeably bigger than this one.

I am not sure what 85cm is but the stand fits a standard fitness ball. If your ball is bigger than the standard ball I don't believe there would be a problem. Its a round surface being placed in the stand, so I think it should accommodate most balls. The stand has grooves, so it makes the ball pretty sturdy. I use the combination to sit upright to maintain my posture because of a L4-L5 bulging disc. It actually works, and the ball remains very sturdy will sitting on it. Hope that helps.

I have the 65cm for exercising and I am 5' 4". My inseam is 30 inches and I can sit on the ball. I don't know if you would prefer it smaller or not. I do know that my regular chair at my desk is on the lowest level as I prefer to sit lower. I don't know if I helped you but maybe I gave you enough information to make a decision.

I have never tried a ball that large, but the chair does accomodate a larger ball. The back rest is arched outward and a larger ball would fit better in the ring at the bottom. The ball it comes with tends to slowly sink down to the floor. My ball stands about 20" if measuring from ground to the top. There is about 6 more inches when the ball is on the chair from the ball to the bottom of the chair back. So if your ball is taller than 26" it probably wont fit. If less, then it probably will. Worst case, if your 75 doesnt fit you still have the one it comes with.

No. It's 55cm as advertised. If ball is inflated beyond the designed size, it fails to perform as designed, and defeats the purpose you want from it. You can actually feel the differences and loss in effects.

If you are using this as an ottoman then your sitting chair needs to be at the same height or lower than the ball chair. Chair sits a little low.

Mine is right about 30" although I suppose if you inflated it more it would expand, much like a balloon can be a good deal larger if you put more air into it. Since 75 cm works out to 29.5" then arguably it would be over-inflated at 44". It depends what you want out of your ball - if it needs to be stiff then you would need to inflate it to be larger, because mine is quite bouncy at 30".

I don't think so, my sister in law is short not that short though and she likes it. I got mine and I'm short 5' 2", but I give it away because it hurt my hips. I have back problems and thought it might help, but made it worse. The ball inflates to what ever size you like as well as hardness, but it was not for me. Audrey

I wondered that also, but went ahead and ordered it. It was not inflated when it arrived and is was probably about 5 inches or so. So it may mean that it will function as a ball from 7.8 to 14.5 inches. One we made small and the other we inflated to the 14 inches. My grandson plays with it a lot.

My ball is a "Go Fit" and I think it is 65 cm. When I looked at it, the six is a little worn (the paint), but it is either a 55 or 65 and I"m betting 65 cm is kind of the standard. Mine fits perfectly and now I can use my ball for computer work or paper work and not worry about falling off, which I did a lot before. You can change positions, bounce, etc. It is GREAT. Susan

I actually use an exercise ball with a curved base. That works well for me. I am 5'3"
