 | "Swopper presents a unique alternative to traditional seating by providing a new approach to correct sitting postures and directly addresses the real issues that make sitting such an unhealthy activity."

|  | Sit Smart on Swopper!
Sitting still for long periods is exhausting and very damaging for your spine. Now we have the solution.
Swopper is an evolutionary seating platform that allows you to access motion in all directions while you sit. We call this "Sitting in Motion". |

| a. Why doesnt Swopper have a back? - Swopper does not have a back because the whole objective here is to strengthen your lower back muscles by way of unsupported sitting. You already have a back ("your own") but you have become accustomed to not using it. As a result, de-conditioning of the spine and muscles of the back occurs, most commonly resulting in low back pain and discomfort. By sitting on Swopper, you are able to assume correct posture easily, even while forward leaning, thereby eliminating the need for a back support. This is one of the reasons why Swopper received the prestigious Gold Award for Workstation Task seating at NeoCon 2001. |
|  | | b. Why doesnt Swopper have arms? - Swopper does not have arms because they would be far too restrictive as well as further promoting a static sitting posture. One of the key health benefits of sitting on Swopper is that it gives the user access to a full range of unrestricted, natural, fluid and intuitive movement in all directions simultaneously. In addition, when the user is moving while working they gain the added health benefit of increased blood flow to all areas of the body. |

|  | | c. Why doesnt Swopper have casters? - Swopper does not have casters because there are a lot more health benefits related to having to get up and go to your fax machine, filing cabinet, printer or whatever, than there are with "scooting" across the floor. In fact, this bad habit is the cause of a lot more accidents at work than you would believe, and is responsible for many low back injuries. Swopper is very easy to move about, weighing just 23 pounds. If you have a "U" shaped work--station and have two different work areas in close proximity, it is worth noting that your range of motion from your seated position on Swopper is drastically increased from that of a conventional chair with casters. This means your reach is extended while maintaining correct posture. If this is not possible, then the compact nature of Swopper does allow for two units to fit in a compact work area if you so choose. It can also be fun and energizing to move from one to the other. |

|  | | d. Why does Swopper have a "convex" vs. a concave seat? - Unlike all other conventional seats, Swoppers unique convex seat pan allows the pelvis to assume the correct position to improve the users posture with ease, no slumping! Additionally, circulation is not restricted and, in fact, with the motion one experiences on Swopper, circulation is actually improved "while sitting". |

Swopper, when used under normal conditions for an individual user (or under single-shift commercial applications), is guaranteed to the original purchaser to be free from defects in material and/or faulty workmanship for a period of up to five (3) years from the date of purchase (multiple-user, 24-hour commercial applications carry a one (1) year warranty).
