Is this ball supposed to stretch out when inflated? I think it's fully inflated but only measures 65in circumference; GoFit says it should be 81in.

It does stretch. You should not inflate above the specified size. It will lose air from time to time. Also, you should inflate it to Your needs...hope this helps

Mine measures a good 72 inches. We used an air compresser to inflate it, and I would like to inflate it more, just haven't gotten around to do it. My grandson was a little cautious. Sorry it took me so long to respond.

The diameter should be 55 centimeters, from one side to the other side going through the center. I think some companies may make the same size in different colors. My understanding is that the size should be on your ball, either near the brand name or around the end where it is to be inflated. I would check for a size, perhaps you were sent a wrong size.

I think mine was closer to 28" full cuz it welt full. But I think it's bouncier when fully inflated

I am 5 4 and weigh 130. I ordered the blue ball which turned out to be way too big. Tried to return unsuccessively. Also, ball never leveled out. It is sturdy. Simply wrong size and poor customer service. Good luck!

That sounds truly strange as these balls are very sturdy. Is it possible it was defective in some way? I did, however, purchase a bigger ball. So far, it has held up pretty well. Check how long you've had it to see if it is still covered under their warranty, and let Gaiam know about your experience.

It's not FULLY inflated, but there should be SOME air in it. It's designed to conform to the curves of the head, which if it were fully inflated, it wouldn't do. But yes, there should be a small amount of air within the headband.

I have not tried to inflate a dryer ball. usually by the time one goes flat I have had it for quite some time so it just gets replaced. Sorry I'm sure that wasn't much help. Did you try contacting the maker about this matter?

I would assume it depends on the size ball you get. I got the smallest size, But I'm only 105lbs. I think if you look under details on the different sizes it will tell you the minimum and maximum weight and/or height.

My ball is a "Go Fit" and I think it is 65 cm. When I looked at it, the six is a little worn (the paint), but it is either a 55 or 65 and I"m betting 65 cm is kind of the standard. Mine fits perfectly and now I can use my ball for computer work or paper work and not worry about falling off, which I did a lot before. You can change positions, bounce, etc. It is GREAT. Susan

Hello and thank you for contacting Dazadi.com. The ball does come fully inflated. Please let us know if you have any other questions!

It's 65" inflated across. My daughter is 105 lbs and 5'1" and she fits in it and does fine. Loads of fun but will get punctured if rough play happens.

Mine fully inflates. Didn't notice anything on the ends to show that it is not the same as the rest of the unit. I do blow a few breaths in to it though. Might be a bad unit.

Well, I have had mine for months now and would suggest you check if it is has been inflated to the recommended measurement. If your ball has been inflated to the correct measurement, then you should not have the ball slipping through the hole as my mister weighs more than you do and he doesn't have a problem when he sits on this chair. That said, you might have a problem with maintaining the inflation, so when you inflate it take note of the measurement and re-check it in a few days. If you find it isn't a problem to maintain the balls inflation, try inflating the ball to maybe another inch larger as the suggested measurement is not "written in stone." Also, I saw on a previous answer that the back rest doesn't work?? I would love to know what that comment is about as the "back rest" is not meant for you to rest your back upon-- it was never meant to bear any significant amount of weight. It's there pretty much to make sure the ball doesn't roll off the ring.

This is being sold by a "third party" seller. You likely won't get help from them. The "fitness ball" needs to be about size 50, expanding to 60. Also, very heavy duty. So, you can search for the best deal on something that fits those specs, or check out the original product website: http://www.evolutionchair.com/faqs.htm which is evolutionchairDOTcom/faqs.htm if Amazon has stripped away the link from my comment.

Yes, the ball was inflated when it arrived. I made my purchase 8 months ago, and it's still inflated. Perfect for my 3.5-year-old nieces's little hands. Perfect "bounce" - when she kicks it, the ball travels, but not the inordinate distance one would get from the really bouncy thin balls. I highly recommend this product; very pleased the quality and durability.

I know this post is two months old, but I just received this exercise ball today. I'm also using it as a computer chair, and am replacing a previous ball that was a gift and my cat saw fit to use as a scratching post substitute. I have mixed initial impressions of this Max Fitness ball. It seems sturdy, but not tall enough for someone who's 6' 0". I'll try it out for a few days of course, but I'll be taking a look around Amazon to see if there's anything larger. Unfortunately I don't know the size or even brand of my previous ball so I can't compare, but it was noticeably bigger than this one.

I have mine on the 2nd hole from the bottom and from the floor to the top of the backrest, it's about 30". There are a total of 4 holes for you to adjust the height as you need. As for the ball, mine fits fine. I think the very nature of the ball causes it to expand after you've sat on it for a while. I agree, it feels like it's deflating, but I think more often than not, it just feels like that because the ball is being stretched out. I have mine in my office at work and I sit on it for 8 hours a day so it gets a lot of stretching. I just keep the pump that came with it in my desk and I'll re-inflate it as needed. No big deal.
