The wonderful thing about the Swopper from Aeris is that it is ideal for those who want to engage in active movement throughout the day. Bounce, Lean, Tilt, or Spin – the Swopper excels at all of these. Sitting atop the Swopper’s large cushioned seat is an experience in both movement and comfort. While the Swopper is new to our site, it has a long history, having been introduced almost 30 years ago.

The core of the Swopper is the Aeris 3D design. The large circular base ensures a stable platform regardless of the degree of movement. Incorporated into the base is a unique tilting mechanism that permits the entire seat to angle up to 12.5° from vertical in any direction – forward, backward, and sideways. The simple intuitive adjustment to the centre of balance in the desired direction will have the seat leans and support this movement. The seat also rotates a full 360° so it is easy to turn to the sides when working in a corner workstation, to turn away from the workstation and get up, or just to spin for the sake of spinning (who didn’t enjoy that as a child?). However, these are just the icing on the cake. The true joy of the Swopper is the incredible experience of being able to “BOUNCE” - as little or as much as is desired - your way through the day. Others in the office will not fail to notice the increased vim and vigor those using the Swopper bring to the office. The large spring below the seat even has a tension adjustment to accommodate weights from 110-264 pounds, and is also equipped with a standard gas spring that has a 3” adjustment range, independent of the primary coil spring action to better accommodate varying heights.

The Swopper is the perfect solution for applications where movement is either required or desired. The range of movements will keep muscles engaged on an almost continuous basis – ideal for those who need to burn off energy or have that innate need to be moving in order to maintain focus on the primary task. For those who have have tried using an exercise ball and find it either awkward or a bit unstable, the large base and more traditional stool design of the Swopper can provide the same benefits but without the bulk of an exercise ball. The Swopper is also permits a range of sitting positions and encourages a much greater degree of movement than can be achieved on an exercise ball.

The Swopper comes in Black artificial leather, with matching black spring strut and base. Available with Hard and Soft glides or soft lock-on-load castors for ease of use when moving the Swopper between locations.

The Muvman from Aeris is a premium leaning seat designed to encourage active movement throughout the day while working at adjustable or elevated workstations. The movement is achieved through a pivot joint at the base that accommodates movement in all directions. As the range of movement is explored the torso and hips become actively engaged in making continuous subtle adjustments. This means that rather than simply reducing the weight on the legs (as traditional fixed lean-to stools accomplish), this pivoting capability allows the Muvman to continuously adjust to movement throughout the day. The Muvman is also ergonomically beneficial in that it encourages an upright posture, and when used as a leaning seat it greatly reduces the strain on the lower spine when compared to a traditional seated position.

The well-padded Flexzone Seat (available in fabric or leatherette) on the Muvman has a slight convex contour that lets the seat mould itself to the body, preventing pressure points. The seat also easily rotates to the left or right, offering extended movement range while at a workstation, but has a spring-assisted “return to neutral” feature that ensures the seat is always centred and ready for use. The raised handle at the rear makes movement of the lightweight (13.9 lb) Muvman very simple but also serves to encourage one to adopt an optimal seating position. The seat on the Muvman is supported by an adjustable column that leans forward at 4°, encouraging a forward tilt on the pelvis to help support a healthy S-Curve in the spine. From the default position the column can also tilt about 7° throughout the full 360°. Easy-touch buttons on the underside of the seat facilitate infinite height adjustment between 20" and 33.5". The broad range makes the Muvman suitable for heights ranging from 4’6” to over 6’, while also accommodating a range of seating positions. The Muvman also becomes an in-between seating option for short-term tasks, making the transition to and from a standing position become almost effortless.

The 15” diameter base is equipped with non-slip rubber to ensure safety on any flooring, and because the Muvman has a limited tilt angle it also ensures that the overall footprint of the seat is limited, keeping the base in close proximity to the torso.

The SAIPH Foot Brace Rail is designed for those who would like to brace their feet against a sturdy, slip-free support, or when one would like to prop one foot up from time to time when standing to alleviate strain on the lower back.

Caution: The Muvman should not be used with a standard foot rest, especially those with non-locking foot platforms.

Note: Anyone familiar with the discontinued Mobis or Mobis II seats from Focal Upright may be interested in considering the Muvman as the movement is very similar.
