Cloud-Like Standing Desk Accessories

'The Plane Cloud' From FluidStance Provides All-Day Comfort

— September 28, 2018 — Art & Design
With standing desks and open office spaces growing in popularity as consumers realize the detriments of a sedentary lifestyle, solutions like the ‘The Plane® Cloud’ from FluidStance® have hit the market.

The Plane® Cloud works by providing just the right amount of underfoot instability, activating a greater range of motion so that consumers can keep more of their body engaged as they work. This extends all the way up to the core muscles, which kick in to maintain the user’s balance. All of this causes the heart rate to elevate, making it easy to increase activity levels and lead a more healthy lifestyle.

Apart from boasting great health benefits, The Plane® Cloud is incredibly comfortable to use. This is due to the 100% recyclable attached foam top that’s made with non-microbial materials, which prevents any odors from arising. Due to the cushioned top, The Plane® Cloud prevents the user from growing tired as they use it, helping them to maintain their energy levels throughout the day and get more work done. Additionally, it's thick enough to provide all the support needed, allowing it to be used without shoes. This deck offers the same geometry and functionality of the category-creating Level®, but in a tighter package.

What’s more, The Plane® Cloud is fun to use, with employees from some of the world’s most innovative office spaces like Google, Apple, and Pixar, stating that they feel happier at work while using the balance boards.

The Plane® Cloud and other balance boards can be found at the FluidStance® website.
