What does it do: The durable plastic seat is just the right height to use at your desk. It has no backrest and compresses when you sit, allowing for continuous movement of your core and back muscles, which, over time, will strengthen them. The seat holds up to 250 pounds. Feet must reach the floor for proper use, but they will be coming out with a version for kids. The seat sells for $100.
