i got one of the smaller ones and it is fine for me at 6'1. you may find it is hard to use it more than a few hours a day.

The first thing you should consider is the desk height. When you sit on a chair or a ball, the distance between your legs and the top of the desk should be a couple of cms. Depending on the height of the desk, you can make the first judgement call on the size of the exercise ball. If the height is adjustable, great. If not, measure the distance from the ground to the top of your desk. Next, if you read the forums, you will notice that they recommend the 65cm for a person of your height. Similar to another user, I went against that recommendeded size and chose the 75cm. However, I have not inflated mine to the full potential. The key factor is that your legs should form a 90 degree angle and still be able to plant both feet on the ground. I use the 75cm ball as a full time office desk chair replacement and am very happy with it. My desk is adjustable and hence this helped. The 65cm would have been a tad too low and hence my decision to go for the 75cm one. Hope this helps in your decision making process.

Smaller than the 75cm; however, make sure you pump it up more than I did, because I ended up not using it as a desk chair after a day.

I'm 5'4 and I think the 75" is the perfect height to sit me at the right level for my desk at work... also why I purchased this ball. Any smaller and I'd be sitting too low to reach everything appropriately.

I'm 4'11" and I can tell you that if you are lucky enough to find an office chair to fit petite frames, you've hit the jackpot. I like the chair, but I had to purchase the Obus Forme Ergonomic Orthopedic Low Back Support to shorten the seat length. That particular back support has a movable, velcroed cushion to add additional support where needed. This chair is as good as any, you will just need additional back cushioning for short legs.

The shape of the chair is adjustable, so i would think a 5' person would be fine in it. Since i bought it though, the kneeling pad completely flattened out and had no more cushion to it at all. It was like kneeling on plywood and made my shins numb. I am a lot bigger though, so maybe that had something to do with it, but it didn't end up being a good fit for me after a while

I was going to order this chair and stopped when I saw this post. I am 5'2", I never heard if a chair that doesn't adjust for someone my height. Is this true? Thanks

The best way is to sit on a tape measure, being sure the beginning end is just barely visible as you sit. Then look at the other end; if it is wider than 17 inches, go for the larger chair.

If you are talking about body frame... I would look at leg length and weight. I use both the 65 and the 75...I am lets say 'stocky"about 240-245 and 6 feet tall. I use the 75cm for a desk seat and the 65cm to exercise and stretch with. Some girls have long legsand they might like the 65 or even 75 if using for a desk seat. It sure has worked my back using it at my desk, works the legs too.I hope that helps, Bear

I suggest you go to a sporting goods store and get measured. They consider more than just your height. I got measured first then purchased standard but I am 5'5". I think there are at least 3 measurements to factor in. Be safe and take the time to get measured first.

I am 5'4" and I got the small or 19" size, my toes touch the ground when I am sitting on the seat so I suggest the medium or large size for your height. Remember that you can adjust the height of the handlebars and bike seat as well. I hope that helps!

Cannot measure chair right now. I'm 5'4" and put a pillow behind my back. High quality for the price

A low sitting beach chair would fit, I'm a little over 5 feet tall and I couldn't stand up in it.

The height should be okay. I purchased this for my mother who is 5'4". You should measure your hips for the width. Mine measure 43" and it's a comfortable fit for me. If your hips measure more than 45-46", I'd recommend the wider size. Hope this helps!

Go with a medium, I'm 5'10 and got plenty of space left over both height and width wise.

I'm 5'4" and have a little room to play, so I'd think you'd be ok. I did have to get a different seat for it--the one that comes with it was pretty hard for my toleration.

In my opinion, I think this size would be perfect for you. I am 5'8" and I think it is a little small for me.

Definitely not the small, it's made for a person 5'3". Go with the large or you can squeak by with a medium.

I see comments about it being too long for persons 5'4" and under. Please comment and make suggestions
