How to safely inflate your Swiss ball

We recommend using a pump, which is sold separately



Before inflating your ball, leave it at room temperature (20°C) for 24 hours

Inflate the ball slowly so it does not get damaged

Inflate the ball to 2/3 of its max size, at a temperature of between 20°C and 25°C max, then wait 2-3 hours

Finish inflating it to the desired size but do not go over the maximum size

Leave the ball for 24 hours before using it and check the size and adjust it if necessary

Inflating your Swiss ball to the right size
