How do I use Aeris Swopper chair?

To use the Aeris Swopper chair the right way you should sit on it properly. Position yourself in the center of the Aeris Swopper so that the spring strut functions as an extension of your spine. Maintain your balance with your buttocks and both feet placed on the floor. The pelvis should be slightly higher than the knees to create an "open angle" at the hips and knees when sitting. This promotes blood circulation.

Swing vigorously a few times to automatically straighten yourself up. This releases the diaphragm and promotes deep breathing. This improves the oxygen supply to the body and head improving mental performance. When you turn to your work with the Aeris Swopper, you can move the seat towards your desk by simply shifting your weight. This brings your body into a position where your spine is loose and vertical over your slightly tilted pelvis. This keeps your back straight and you automatically find the right sitting position.

What is the vertical movement (swopping) good for?

Swopping strengthens the back muscles and promotes nutrition of the intervertebral discs. It also prevents blood congestion in the legs and makes you feel fit and active all day long. On the Aeris Swopper you automatically sit properly which prevents you from back pain.

Is it possible to sit on the Aeris Swopper all day long without a backrest?

Yes, sitting on the Aeris Swopper without a backrest is not a problem. Indeed, you can also walk without a backrest. The Aeris Swopper is made to allow people to do what they are meant to do while sitting: to move.

On traditional chairs it's different. Here, you need a support because you spend a long time rather sitting still. However, the muscles are not made for long hours of sitting without any movement which is why tension and back pain are the result of this sitting posture. However, by being supported by a backrest your muscles become " unfit " again, become weaker and are no longer able to do what they were designed to do: keep the person upright and the intervertebral discs in their place.

On the Aeris Swopper, however, your back is always active and in motion. This trains and strengthens the back muscles. If you feel a pinch or soreness from time to time especially while you are getting used to the Aeris Swopper take it as a good sign. Muscles that have been resting for a while may just be waking up again. Then, the best thing you can do is to swing properly in all directions. By doing so, you'll promote blood flow to the muscles and exercise them. In general, exercising is the best recipe against back pain and other consequences of bad posture.

Can the Aeris Swopper also be used as a standing desk chair?

The original Aeris Swopper is designed exclusively for sitting in motion only, not for standing. The maximum height of the flexible strut is too low for supporting the user while standing. You can switch between sitting in the swopper and standing to ensure continuous movement throughout your day.

What is the difference between the Aeris Swopper and an exercise ball?

Sitting on the Aeris Swopper has many advantages compared to the exercise ball: First, the Aeris Swopper offers more safety: it doesn't roll away, it can't burst, you can't fall over or off. Also, with the Aeris Swopper you can adjust three features quickly and individually: Seat height, spring tension, and lateral movement. Aeris Swopper has a comfortable seat. The seat is not cold, not slippery, does not collect dust and does not have a bad scent. While an exercise ball is made of PVC the Aeris Swopper is made of high-quality materials, Made in Germany.
