Swopper

The wonderful thing about the Swopper from Aeris is that it is ideal for those who want to engage in active movement throughout the day. Bounce, Lean, Tilt, or Spin – the Swopper excels at all of these. Sitting atop the Swopper’s large cushioned seat is an experience in both movement and comfort. While the Swopper is new to our site, it has a long history, having been introduced almost 30 years ago.

The core of the Swopper is the Aeris 3D design. The large circular base ensures a stable platform regardless of the degree of movement. Incorporated into the base is a unique tilting mechanism that permits the entire seat to angle up to 12.5° from vertical in any direction – forward, backward, and sideways. The simple intuitive adjustment to the centre of balance in the desired direction will have the seat leans and support this movement. The seat also rotates a full 360° so it is easy to turn to the sides when working in a corner workstation, to turn away from the workstation and get up, or just to spin for the sake of spinning (who didn’t enjoy that as a child?). However, these are just the icing on the cake. The true joy of the Swopper is the incredible experience of being able to “BOUNCE” - as little or as much as is desired - your way through the day. Others in the office will not fail to notice the increased vim and vigor those using the Swopper bring to the office. The large spring below the seat even has a tension adjustment to accommodate weights from 110-264 pounds, and is also equipped with a standard gas spring that has a 3” adjustment range, independent of the primary coil spring action to better accommodate varying heights.

The Swopper is the perfect solution for applications where movement is either required or desired. The range of movements will keep muscles engaged on an almost continuous basis – ideal for those who need to burn off energy or have that innate need to be moving in order to maintain focus on the primary task. For those who have have tried using an exercise ball and find it either awkward or a bit unstable, the large base and more traditional stool design of the Swopper can provide the same benefits but without the bulk of an exercise ball. The Swopper is also permits a range of sitting positions and encourages a much greater degree of movement than can be achieved on an exercise ball.

The Swopper comes in Black artificial leather, with matching black spring strut and base. Available with Hard and Soft glides or soft lock-on-load castors for ease of use when moving the Swopper between locations.

• Spring Strut for “Bounce”: The Swopper seat is mounted to a spring strut that makes it a true pleasure to use. The traditional gas springs that most chair are equipped with provide a small degree of cushioning, but that is more of a simple shock-absorbing action when weight is lowered onto the seat. In the case of the Swopper, the coiled steel spring strut by nature has stored energy potential that lets it actively respond with the application of any downward force, immediately releasing that energy back into an upward motion. It is this “Bounce” that makes the Swopper not only unique but amazingly comfortable, especially for someone who has the innate need to move throughout the day.
• 3D Action: The spring strut that supports the seat on the Swopper is mounted to a 3D joint in the base. This joint lets the Swopper follow the orientation of the torso as one moves throughout the day. This means that the seat will angle up to 12.5° in whatever direction movement takes, throughout the full 360° range. This encourages continual movement that triggers repetitive core muscle activation as positions change.
• Adjustable Tension: The tension on the spring strut is adjustable to provide a range of resistance to movement, as well as to accommodate weights from 110 – 264 lbs. As one increases the tension adjustment it increases the upward pressure to require more active effort to “bounce” while simultaneously increasing the resistance level for leaning.
  In addition to the spring strut that gives the Swopper its bounce, there is also a traditional gas spring that provides a 4” range of height adjustment using the release just below the seat. The gas spring also lets the seat rotate or spin a full 360°, making it virtually effortless to turn in any direction.
• Designed for Standard Height Desks: The Swopper is ideal for use at standard 29-30” desk heights or with adjustable keyboard trays
• Adjusts to Fit the User: The 4” adjustment range will provide a suitable sitting height for individuals up to at least 6’1”.
• Comfortable: The slightly crowned cushioned seat is comfortable for a traditional seated position as well as adopting a perching stance towards the front.
• Storable: Since the Swopper can be lowered to 25" it can easily be stored out of the way when desired, even just tucked under the desk.
• Multiple Materials Options: The Swopper is available in both Leatherette and Fabric
• Glide or Castor Options: The Swopper is available with either Glides or Lock-on-Load castors to provide stability at all times. The castors roll freely when not seated for easier movement between locations.
• Wide Weight Rating Range: The Swopper is rated to support from 110 – 264 lbs (50 – 120 kg).
