We loved our new Vivora exercise ball! It is high quality and beyond what we expected. Not just good for exercise and sitting, but it actually looks nice. The material or fabric is very well made. We are very happy with our purchase!

I started telecommuting during the pandemic and the chair I was using was causing some serious low back pain. I started sitting on an old yoga ball we had laying around the house but I saw these with the nice cover and thought I would buy one for me and my wife.

Pros:
The bottom has a grip to keep it from sliding

Also the hemmed ring around the bottom keeps it from roll

The handle makes positioning easier than the just plain yoga ball

Cons:
This ball seems to loose air pressure quicker than my other yoga ball

I love my new sitting ball. I noticed a lot of people had an issue with blowing the ball up and I had a similar experience. Fortunately, I had access to an air compressor and that made the whole difference! Otherwise it's quite a struggle to get the last 10% of the ball filled up to fill the cover. I wish the cover was a little softer. Feels more like wool than flannel, but I just make sure to wear long pants and I'm sitting at it. I ordered a Max and at 5'11" I think it is a better fit than the standard would have been. Better a little too tall then too short, I would think. I have not had any problems with the ball sliding out from underneath me. All in all a good purchase and I would recommend.

My grandsons have loved playing with rubber balls we've owned before that had a handle to allow them to ride the ball like a cowboy on a horse. Recently, our older grandson also wanted a ball to sit on at his desk in place of a chair. This ball and cover works for both purposes, plus looks dressy enough to fit in an office environment.

The one big challenge is getting the rubber ball inside the fabric cover and properly inflated. The ball comes with a plastic inflation pump similar to ones we've previously used to blow up balloons for balloon animals. Although the instructions say not to use an electrical pump to inflate, I'm unwilling to spend the stated 10-20 minutes pumping by hand, so used our good quality electric bike pump. That handled the task well in under 5 minutes.

The one obvious fail in the design is that the fill point on the ball has to be centered below the top of the cover opening zipper, which is difficult to arrange because the zipper is not exactly at either the top or bottom of the ball. That made it a bit inconvenient during the early parts of the fill, making sure the fill opening remained right below the top of the zipper opening.

Once the ball was fully inflated and its stopper inserted, zipping the cover entirely closed was easy. We'll see later how often the ball has to be refilled.

Overall, a good choice for a fabric-covered ball chair with a handle.

I debated getting this instead of a plain ball for when I was pregnant. I'm glad I splurged bc this can be used as so much more than an exercise ball! It's now my office chair and looks great. Pictures are pretty accurate to actual item. Only qualm is the fabric isn't as soft as I hoped but still fine.
