What we looked at
Stated weight capacity, anti-burst design, and price.

If you want a higher stated weight capacity of up to 330lbs (150kg) with a non-slip surface, the Trideer is the pick at £14.44, though it costs £2.45 more. If you would rather pay less, the Amazon Basics ball is the value option at £11.99, rated to a slightly lower 136kg static weight capacity and sized specifically at 22.9cm for between-the-knees exercises.
A £14.44 exercise ball rated to 330lbs (150kg).
