Sitting doesn’t have to mean sitting still
The best posture is your next one.
Not a workout, and nothing to schedule. It gives a little and moves with you, from the first coffee to the last game of the night.
No backrest and no arms: if you need back support for long stretches, keep your desk chair too.
There’s more to it than air.
An exercise ball is one skin of vinyl. An Air Chair is built like the sofa beside it, with the air in the middle.
The cover
Upholstery fabric, sewn panel by panel, with a zip that tucks its slider away while you sit.
Five layers, opened
The air makes it move. Everything around it makes it a chair.
Furniture you can move on.
Kneel on it, perch on it, roll it over to the window. It looks like it belongs in the room, and it moves a little with you every time you sit.
- Upholstered exterior upholstery-grade fabric in ten sewn panels: it looks like furniture, not gym kit
- Felt temperature-balancing, so the seat feels like upholstery, not plastic
- High-density foam spreads your weight, so it sits like a cushion, not a ball
- Ripstop nylon a tear-resistant layer that protects the air core inside the cover
- Adjustable air core latex-free, rated to 300 lb; more air sits taller and firmer, less sits softer

Five ways to dress the same chair.
43 finishes in five collections. Pick one and it goes straight into your setup. Not sure about a fabric? We’ll post you free samples.
Standard Fabric · 23 fabrics
Upholstered like the sofa it sits beside.
Twenty-three upholstery fabrics — faux linens, bouclés, a herringbone, faux velvets and a few woven or printed patterns. The chair that settles into a room instead of standing out in it.
Solar Series · 5 printed planets
Some seats are planets.
Earth, Moon, Sol, Jupiter and Mars, printed edge to edge on the upholstery. The one guests ask about.
Sports Series · 7 printed balls
Seven balls, sized for sitting.
Basketball, soccer, baseball, golf, tennis, pool and bowling. Small fits kids’ rooms and game rooms; Large, the desk of anyone who still keeps score.
Pendleton Wool · 6 colours
Pendleton wool, by the chair.
Six solid Pendleton wool colours with a heavier hand and deeper colour than the standard fabrics — and a matching wool Sitting Cushion for each.
Pendleton Jacquard · 2 patterns
Woven, not printed.
Two Pendleton jacquard patterns, cut and tailored panel by panel around the chair. One per room is usually plenty.
From desk to sofa to floor.
Three heights for three parts of the day. Moving between them is how a day of sitting turns into a day of changing position.
At the desk
Large Air Chair · 65 cm
Upright at a standard desk, working, and shifting without thinking about it.
By the sofa
Small Air Chair · 55 cm
Sofa height, for lounging, leaning back and putting your feet up. An extra seat when friends come over.
On the floor
Sitting Cushion · 14.5 in
Cross-legged with a book, kneeling at a low table, stretching out on the rug.
The Movement Room
Dress the whole room.
Start with your chair. Try a coordinated room, then make each piece your own.

At a standing desk
I love my air chair! It is comfortable and beautiful (love the Firefly fabric!) and really well made. The air chair works great with my stand-up desk. My body thanks me every day for these alternatives.

The chair is beautiful. The seams are smooth and flat, which is incredible given you're wrapping a sphere in non-stretch wool and stitching through thick padding. Proportionally it's very comfortable (it puts my elbows at just the right height for typing), and as I'm rolling around my ankles are brushing soft wool, which feels a lot nicer than the rubber of my old ball chair. Overall the Venn chair is heirloom quality and if I had kids it’s the kind of thing I would pass down to them á la Herman Miller.

I have always wanted to sit on a yoga ball at my deck, but the aesthetic was never right. My pilates instructor suggested I check out Venn Design. When I saw the Greenery Air Chair I just had to have it. The color fits in perfectly with my office decor. Tyler was so responsive and patient with me when I had some issues setting it up. Great service and support to go with a great product!
Amy H. · Verified buyer At home
Love this! It fits so well with my living room color scheme and is functional enough to use as an extra seat or even provide support for stretches. Highly recommend.
Francisco V. · Verified buyer Every day
Absolutely love it use it every day for work!!! And a wee bit of exercise
Leigh Ann A. · Verified buyer On the price
I wanted this for a few years but hesitated because of the cost. I'm so glad I finally got one! It makes it so much easier, and more fun, to stretch. Particularly my hips, which are always tight. Love it!
Kate D. · Verified buyer Two sizes
I love having a small and large chair so that I can sit on the small one and put my elbows on the large as I'm watching tv. It's fun and I can play around .…
I love having a small and large chair so that I can sit on the small one and put my elbows on the large as I'm watching tv. It's fun and I can play around . The design of the Firefly is beautiful - both are but the Firefly has a greener tinge than I would have liked and didn't see on the website. The thickness of material was surprising . They are well made and I'm enjoying using them separately as well. I'd love to get the moon design eventually .

The Venn Sitting Cushion is very well made. I think it will last many years. The fabric is thick and it has heavy duty zippers. It's the perfect height for sitting cross legged or semi-kneeling. I really like the buckwheat hulls side which is super comfortable.
Lee B. · Verified buyer On the floor
I love this sitting cushion, it is so comfortable. I use it to sit on floor at my coffee table or to sit on the floor near my dog. The color is perfect with my furniture.
Kelli M. · Verified buyer Worth it
The Desert cushion is very comfortable and quality made. You get what you pay for, and Venn Design makes quality products. I'm thankful to have something like this for our livingroom.
D'Edra F. · Verified buyer A doubt about fabric
I really like the Earth design, it's perfect for my office at a university. The fabric is soft and comfortable so far, but I'm not sure how the synthetic fabric will feel when it gets warmer.…
I really like the Earth design, it's perfect for my office at a university. The fabric is soft and comfortable so far, but I'm not sure how the synthetic fabric will feel when it gets warmer. (Despite AC, the room can get hot.)
I've had a hemp denim for 5 years in my home office, which feels comfy in all temps. The hemp one is also starting to stretch out at the seams, so hopefully the extra inner nylon layer on the Earth reduces stretching.

Is it comfortable?
It feels like a firm cushion that gives a little, not like a balloon: there is felt and foam between you and the air. It is an active seat, so it feels different from a chair with a back, and it may not suit every person or every task. You can try it for 30 days.
How is it different from an exercise ball?
- What you touch
- Upholstery fabric or Pendleton wool, not bare vinyl
- Under the cover
- Felt, high-density foam and ripstop nylon, not nothing
- The air
- A separate latex-free cushion rated to 300 lb that you pump to your height
- The cover
- Sewn panels and a zip; it comes off for dry cleaning
- After you use it
- It stays out, like any chair
Which size should I get?
Large (65 cm) is the task-chair size for a standard desk and suits people 5′1″ and taller. Small (55 cm) sits at sofa height — better for kids, people under 5′1″, coffee tables, stretching and lounging. If it is mainly for a desk, choose Large.
Can I sit on it all day?
It has no back or arm support. That is what keeps you shifting, and also its limit: if you want support for long stretches, switch to a chair with a back for part of the day.
Can I change the height and firmness?
Yes. Pump air in for a higher, firmer seat; release a little for lower and softer. The cushion stretches after the first inflation, so expect to top it up in the first week, then every month or two (about 10–15 pumps).
What comes in the box?
The upholstered cover, the latex-free air cushion, a hand pump, plugs and instructions, packed flat (the Air Chair box is 8 × 12 × 16 in, 7 lb). Setup takes a few minutes — there’s an inflation guide video.
Why add a Sitting Cushion?
It covers the part of the day spent lower down: kneeling at a coffee table, sitting cross-legged to read or meditate, playing on the floor with kids. Buckwheat hulls on one side, wool trimmings on the other, so you can flip it for firm or extra firm.
How do I care for it?
The upholstery cover is dry-clean only. Vacuum or spot-clean between cleans.
More questions
How much weight does it hold?
The air cushion is rated to 300 lb. Treat it like furniture, not gym equipment — no jumping on it.
Is it good for kids?
Yes. We recommend the Small size for children; it sits lower, at sofa height.
Do you ship outside the US?
Yes. We ship to Canada and internationally; rates are shown at checkout.
