I've seen other ball chairs like this that are not recommended for people under 5' - can this chair adjust to sit low enough for a 4'10" woman?

Because of varying body shapes and preferences, it's hard for us to give a perfect height recommendation. However, if you want to estimate the seat height before you buy it, we have found that if the ball is inflated to it's proper size of 52cm (this is key), a 135 lb person would sit about 19" off the ground; 150 lb person, 18.5"; 175 lb, 18" and 200 lb, 17.5". The average seat height of an average chair runs around 17" to 18". If it's too high, some air could be let out. Hope this helps.

I don't think so, my sister in law is short not that short though and she likes it. I got mine and I'm short 5' 2", but I give it away because it hurt my hips. I have back problems and thought it might help, but made it worse. The ball inflates to what ever size you like as well as hardness, but it was not for me. Audrey

My daughter uses it to do her homework all the time and I would say she is about 4 foot tall. She does not have a problem using it.

I am 5'4" and have not had any issues. I am sure you would be fine using it, and it is adjustable since you can always release/add air to your comfort.

I am 5'3 and have the seat on the lowest possible level. My feet barely touch the floor. It's not designed for short people. I don't think you should have a problem.

Hi Lee. My instinct would say no. I am 5'4" and i am comfortable. I do ride with the seat close because you dont want to over-extend your knees, but I dont know if the chair can go back enough. Hope this helps. :-)

Yes, I am 5' 10" and my chair just barely goes as low as I'd like. First there is a lever that raises and lowers the seat. Second, how low it goes depends in part on weight, as the spring is keeping it at a certain height. I have the spring set to maximum compressibility, so the chair goes as low as possible under my weight, which gets me just to the 90 degree angle.

I am only 5'5" and it is fine on my back for the most part. Sometimes I use a lumbar pillow though bc of the curve in the back is a little higher than where i need it to be. It is probably built for a taller person. The good thing is the back is totally adjustable to any position, including the arms. They go up, down, foward and back. It is a very comfy chair

The legs adjust easily. I am 5'4" and there was space to go either way, taller or shorter. It should be fine for you.

I am 5'4" and find that it is the perfect height for me. For someone who is tall you would probably find it too low.

No the leg height cannot be adjusted up or down. The height of the seat from the floor to top of seat is about 18". My Mom is 4'10" does not have any problems sitting on chair, but needs to scoot back a bit after she sits.

It gets about as low as any regular chair, but the seat is really wide and deep. I'm 6 foot and had some issues with the depth of it. A shorter person might have even more issues with this chair.

I am 4'10" and it does not restrict my movement by any means. It does not fit tight around your waist, but rather sits on your hips, so it should work quite well for you.

Yes. I spent a lot of time looking for a chair before choosing this one and now I look for excuses to go to the beach and use it. It is really comfortable for hours at a time. I'm 6" and my girl friend is 5"2 and she loves hers as well. Good luck!

The seat can only be adjusted vertically which only affects the distance between the seat and knee pads minimally. I'm tall 6' 2 1/2 ", I find the chair works well at the lowest setting. My wife is short, 5' 3 ", and does better with the seat much higher.

The legs do not adjust. It is probably most comfortable for someone mid range in height. My mother is rather short and it is comfortable for her. Not sure about the 19". But it has been an awesome chair for her and I have no complaints.

It's already a bit low for me, 5'5". I'd imagine you'd find it even lower than comfortable level. I don't think the height is adjustable. Check with manufacture to be sure.

This chair is for shorter individuals. It fits my mother perfectly and she is 5ft. Im 5 (8) and when I sat in the chair it was uncomfortable because I'm taller. I think this chair is for petite people anyone over 5ft 5in should look into a chair for taller people.

You can adjust this to sit lower, I have mine adjusted to sit at my hip but will adjust longer and I am 5'5"

Yes - at 5'7" I'm very comfortable - the back of the chair is higher so you should not have a problem. Plus, the chair back is curved and conforms to your body.
