Swopper Classic

swopper classic

The swopper is the only seat in the world that can adapt to all three dimensions of human movement. This means that the Swopper moves forward, backward, sideways, all the way around, as well as up and down! You can also adjust the tension and movement of the spring, and change the lateral movement, so it can become more or less stable.

This movement, sometimes called "active sitting" or "sitting in motion" has been shown to be the basis for many beneficial health effects. A person no longer needs to lean forward towards the table and flex their spine to work, as the Swopper's flexible centre spring will bend forward, so there is no one-sided pressure on your intervertebral discs.

Ideal for the office and home, for physicians and therapists, artists, musicians and even corporate events and trade shows! The use of the chair is only limited by your imagination.

When you sit on the swopper, you...

  • strengthen your back
  • train your muscles
  • keep your intervertebral discs, tendons and joints fit
  • breathe deeper
  • improve your posture through active sitting, relieving the pressure on painful discs
  • stimulate your circulation
  • create a fun way to sit, keeping the mind alert and focused
  • develop your core muscles (back and abdomen) - it is in fact a muscle toning device

Swopper Cover Seat Covers
Branded microfibre fabrics in many attractive colours. Attractive, good feel, breathable and easy to clean. Very robust: abrasion resistance = 50,000 Martindale rubs.
Swopper Movement Sideways Movements
You decide how much you want to move. The sideways movement is decisive for training the back muscles. You adjust this with the handwheel under the spring strut. We recommend setting it a little firmer at first, then later as flexible as possible. The essential criterion: your personal well-being.
Swopper Spring Spring
The free-moving spiral spring made of high-quality steel enables the actual swopping - the up-and-down movement when sitting that is unique in the world. You can set the spring hardness individually according to your weight. In most cases the spring colour matches the seat.

Using your Swopper: Start slowly.
We recommend you start with 30 minutes of continuous use, and gradually build up each day by the same amount, depending on your level of fitness. Because you are actively using your muscles, it is important you do not go straight into doing an hour on the first day!
