Cotton-Covered Exercise Ball

NOHRD VivaBall

The NOHRD VivaBall is a 75 cm exercise ball with an inflatable PVC core wrapped in a removable 100% cotton cover, and an artificial leather grip band around it. The cover comes off and goes in a washing machine, the part of the design that separates it from a bare PVC gym ball. Its slightly unstable surface keeps you moving as you sit, which makes it an active seat at a desk as well as a training ball. Its user rating is 200 kg (441 lb). It comes in a single size and a single cover, ready to inflate at home.

The 75 cm diameter is the standard large size for an exercise ball, and it suits most adults for yoga, Pilates, functional training and stretching, as well as for sitting on at a desk. The cotton cover changes how the ball feels under a hand and against a bare arm, and it changes how it looks in a room that is not a gym. The grip band in artificial leather gives you something to take hold of when the ball is being carried between rooms or held in place during an exercise.

Assembly is required, which on a ball means inflating it to size before first use. Nothing else needs doing: it has no frame and needs no fixing or power. A VivaBall lives in the corner of a room the way a piece of furniture does. It comes out for a session and goes back with the cover washed whenever it needs it.

VivaBall Build

How it works

The VivaBall is a cotton cover over a PVC core, with a grip band around the middle, and each part changes how the ball feels and how it lives in a room.

The Washable Cover
The cover is high-quality 100% cotton fabric, removable and machine-washable, and it comes off whenever the ball needs freshening. A bare PVC ball picks up sweat and hand marks and there is no way to deal with it beyond wiping the surface; this one strips down, goes through a wash and goes back on. A ball that lives under someone at a desk all day takes a different order of wear from one that comes out twice a week for training, because it collects hours of contact on every working day and meets forearms and hands as well as the weight of a person sitting on it. Washing the cover keeps a ball like that presentable in a home office or a clinic room long after a bare PVC ball would have been thrown out. Cotton also feels warmer and drier against a bare arm than plastic does.

Ball Size
The VivaBall is 75 cm in diameter, the standard large size for an exercise ball and the one that suits most adults. On a ball this size a seated adult of average height has their feet flat and their thighs roughly level, and that geometry makes it the usual pick for a ball used at a desk. For yoga, Pilates and stretching it gives a large enough curve to lie back over.

User Rating
The VivaBall carries a user rating of 200 kg (441 lb), which covers a heavy adult sitting at a desk or bouncing through a session. The ball itself is carried one-handed by the grip band.

The Grip Band
An artificial leather grip band runs around the ball for easy grip and handling. A ball this large is awkward to carry with two flat hands and awkward to hold still during an exercise, and a band solves both. Holding it still matters in more positions than carrying does, since a hand or a foot resting on the ball during floor work has nothing to grip on a smooth cotton surface. The band gives that contact a fixed point on a ball that otherwise slides away under pressure. It is also the visual detail that stops the ball reading as gym equipment in a living room, alongside the cotton. The band is part of the cover assembly and stays with the ball.

Cover, Size And Air

Frequently asked questions

It measures 75 cm in diameter, the standard large exercise ball size and the one that fits most adults. One size covers the line.

Yes. The cover is 100% cotton, removable and machine-washable. Take it off the ball, wash it, and put it back on.

A user of 200 kg (441 lb) is within its rating, a high figure for an exercise ball. The rating applies with the ball inflated to its full size, so keep it topped up.

It is made of a PVC core inside a 100% cotton cover, with an artificial leather grip band around the outside. The core holds the air and the shape, the cover handles contact and washing, and the band gives you a handhold.

Yes. Assembly means inflating it to size before first use, with a standard exercise ball pump. Bring it up to size, leave it an hour to settle, then top it back up before anyone sits on it.

Yes. Active sitting is one of its uses, and it is the use that asks most of the washable cover.

NOHRD covers it for one year from the date of initial shipment, for private and commercial use, and registering it within the first year extends the cover to two years on all components, wooden components included.

The VivaBall is used for yoga, Pilates, functional training and stretching, along with balance training, and a ball this size is large enough for all of them. The four ask the same curve for different things, since stretching lies back over the ball, Pilates work kneels or lies along it, functional training moves the body against it from the floor, and seated work wants both feet flat and the thighs level. One ball covers strength, balance and mobility work at that diameter.

The difference is the cover and the band. A standard gym ball is bare PVC with nothing to hold and no way to clean it beyond wiping it down; the VivaBall wraps the same kind of core in a washable cotton cover and adds an artificial leather grip band. Both changes suit a ball that lives in a home office or a living room.

Inflate it to size at the start, keep the cover clean, and there is nothing else to do to it. Pressure is the one thing worth watching, so check the ball against its full size every few weeks and put back what it has given up. Send the cover through a machine wash whenever a busy month has earned it one.
