Would the smallest Peanut Ball work as a lumbar support while sitting in bed?

Hi, all I can tell you is that the large is huge. Much larger than expected. About the size of a blimp! I would call isokenetics before purchasing. Btw, the quality of the ball is top notch. Good luck.

I am not entirely sure, but it always safer to have a firm base underneath the mattress for good lumbar support. :)

Yes. Any candy small and round works. Jelly beans, M&M;'s, Reece's Pieces, gum balls, etc. I love this machine. It was one of my favorite Amazon purchases!

This product would be O.K. to use as a guest mattress for a night or two, but I can't imagine it being used for this purpose for very long. It is just too small. Great for occasional uses such as a spare chair or sofa however.

Definitely, yes. It would be fluffy enough, but not big enough in surface area. I didn't realize that the company made a less-fill pillow though, so you might want to email the owner and see if they have a larger one? It can't hurt to ask!

Maybe a cold gelpak, something that is non-rigid. I don't have the mat with me at the moment, but based on my memory I think you could fit in something malleable that's no higher than 1-2".

That might work OK, but keep in mind that the pillow is quite small. Folding it in half would make for a tiny pillow.

It's a pretty big ball. I suppose it would fit in a chair, but you wouldn't be able to then sit on it.

If u are laying down the peeramid pillow will work, but if ur sitting in a chair prob not. U might want to use a tv tray or hospital side table that is adjustable.

I don't think so. The ball still helps you sit up straight, which strengthens your back muscles, which are part of your core. You might not get glamorous abs from this chair alone but I still think it's a great tool and helps people with sedentary job get at least a little movement in during the day.

I found this bed rest to be too soft. I wanted to use it to sit up in bed to read. It did not provide the support I was looking for - not very firm.Personally, I found sitting in a recliner or sofa worked best for me when feeding my baby.

Not having tried it. I don't know. But the pressure in a big air mattress while large may not be a great as an erecise ball under load. But for the few dollars involved. Try it before you chuck yhe exercise ball

No, I wouldn't. The sides are very soft; bean bag like. I don't think it will work well until a child is able to sit up unsupported.

When I sit in the chair, I feel it supporting my lower back. The back curves in to give support, but there isn't anything extra there. [special pillow or pump] It would depend on how much lumbar support you need. It works well for me.

If you like a really small pillow. I use it mostly in my recliner as an extra head support. It's good for airplanes too.

The chair comes with it's own ball, and a circumference tape to check inflation. If the ball is sinking through it is underinflated. I had that problem in the beginning, and once properly inflated (by air compressor not the cheesy hand pump)it has been fine. I'm sure you could use a larger ball, I tried one but it was actually too tall once in the chair frame and I went back to the original. And yes you do lose the back support with a larger ball, but the whole point of the chair is to engage your lower body, so the backrest has always seemed more cosmetic than functional to me.
