Can you use any size ball with this? I usually use a 75" on the floor but it is too short so I wanted somthing to raise me up more.

I have only used the ball that came with it but you should be able to use a bigger ball with it. The worst case would be that it would be too tall to use the back rest.

Yes! I changed my ball (when I punctured it with the scissors I use as a seamstress) and chose a larger size. It does create some problems with the back support. A design improvement to this chair would be to have the legs be far more adjustable.

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.

Probably not, the base of the chair may not allow for a larger sized ball. the chair has adjustable legs.

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.

Size doesn't matter...I'm five feet tall and husband 5' 10.... Both have used it. Be sure and get the trampoline attachment if yours doesn't come with it, that is if you want to do cardio. It's worth the extra money

Unlike a bigger trampoline where you are trying to 'get air', you don't need a lot of head room for a rebounder (mini-trampoline). With a rebounder you are supposed to jump 'into the mat' rather than propel yourself upwards, so you don't need a great deal of headroom. A few inches should be plenty.

I have a large exercise ball that is about 18-20" high (radius measurement) and it works great. I think it would be fine for anything that you really want to be careful about how much air you are adding- and not to overinflate the ball, like if you used a high powered home air compressor.

I'm very short, 5'0 and it works well for me. The 3rd graders may have a problem as it if the ball is fully inflated that they may not reach the ground.

Yes you can. I did it a couple days ago. With the legs splayed out and the ballhead attached, it's roughly 5 inches off the ground. It's an estimate because I didn't measure it.

Hi Katherine, Yes you can. It MIGHT be a bit tight, but it'll work as long as you're not a basketball player. I'm 6' tall and I can raise it all the way up and it's above my head. Hope this helps. JOHN

I have a 75cm and it looks like any size should fit the curve of it. It didn't have a box or instructions with it ( you just sit the ball on it ), so I wouldn't be afraid to try it.

I am 5'2", use the ball for leg excercises. My daughter is 5'9" and my husband is 6' and they both use the higher ball for back and body.

I think so. You have a lot of play with the size based on how much you pump up the ball. I am 5'2" and I still need my foot riser when sitting on this chair. Hope that helps!

Get the 45 cm ball is under 5' tall; 55 cm for 5'-5'6"; 65 cm for 5'6"-6'; 75 cm for 6'-6'5" and 85 cm ball if over 6'5" tall. I am 5'10" and got the 65 cm ball which is just right for me!

Jennifer, this was my response to someone else regarding the required height. He had a little more head room than you but it appears you have enough for the frame to fit. High arching shots might be a problem for you but honestly the kids don't tend to arch the ball much higher than the frame itself."As it sits assembled, mine stands at 80" (6'-8") at it's highest point. The rim is 18" (1'-6) below that highest point. On really high arching shots you might hit your ceiling but in my opinion you'd be fine as most shots would never go that high.

We use an old broom stick for adjusting the height. I'm just under 6ft tall and have no problems raising or lowering the hoop/backboard.

I think the lowest height is about 5 feet. Depending which ball you use, that might be a little high for a 2 year old. But a lighter ball might work.

From the floor to the top of the ball it's 25" and from the floor to the top of the back rest it's 32". That's what I have it set at for me. I am 5'3. You want to be sure that the ball is inflated so that your thighs are perpendicular to the floor. Hope this helps!

I've used it with 11 and 12 inch regular softballs. The girls said it hurt hitting the 12 inch ones, but didn't complain about the 11 inch ones. There is one adjustment on the top to switch it over to baseballs. I believe regular balls would be fine.

We used a 12 inch but you will have a little more room to increase the size. Great product!!:)
