Power System Balance Pad – inflatable balance cushion for exercise and sitting

Power System Balance Pad (manufacturer product code 4015) is an inflatable balance and massage cushion that the manufacturer designed for exercise and for developing body coordination. The surface of the inflated cushion is not rigid like the floor or a regular chair seat; it gives way under movement. This means that while you are on the cushion, you have to keep adjusting your body position with small movements. According to the manufacturer, the cushion supports correct posture, balance and stability, and it is a suitable aid in exercises for strengthening the back muscles. The underside of the cushion has anti-slip nubs, and it can also be used as a seat cushion that supports the body while sitting. At Sportlab the cushion is available in six colours: grey, black, purple, green, pink and blue.

Inflatable design and anti-slip underside

Balance Pad is an inflatable cushion, not a rigid board or a foam base. The air-filled surface moves with your body, and it is this instability that makes the cushion a tool for balance exercises: when you exercise or sit on it, you have to keep your balance actively. The manufacturer calls the product a balance and massage cushion. The underside has anti-slip nubs that help the cushion stay in place on the floor or on a chair seat. According to the manufacturer, the product weighs 1.2 kg, so it is easy to take with you to training or to the office. The product page of the manufacturer does not state the material or exact dimensions, so they are not listed here.

How to use?

Place the cushion on a flat, dry floor or on a chair seat with the nubbed side facing down. When exercising, start with simpler movements and make them gradually more demanding as keeping your balance becomes steadier. For the first sessions it is sensible to keep a sturdy support within reach, such as a wall or the back of a chair. When using it as a seat cushion, place it on the chair seat, sit on it and keep both feet firmly on the floor. After use, wipe the cushion with a damp cloth if needed and let it air dry.

Who is it for?

The cushion is also a good choice for those who spend much of the day sitting and want to use a softer, slightly moving seat instead of a regular chair seat. As the cushion is light and takes up little space, it can be kept at home, in the office or in a gym bag. If you are just starting with balance exercises, do them at a calm pace and ask a coach for advice if needed.
