We compared two different formats of balance trainer: the Yes4All T3VS Plastic Wobble Balance Board and the Tumaz Wobble Cushion.
What we looked at
Trainer format (standing board vs seated cushion), and price.
The verdict
If you want a rigid, 360°-rotating standing board rated to support 136kg for core training and standing desks, the Yes4All is the pick at £22.81, though it costs £4.74 more. If you would rather pay less for an inflatable seat cushion that adds a wobble surface to any chair, the Tumaz is the value option, at £18.07.
A £22.81 rigid wobble board rated to support 136kg.
An £18.07 inflatable wobble cushion for active seating.
