Favorite things giveaway: Swopper
Hi friends! How’s the morning going? Hope you’re having a great day so far.
I am so, so excited for today’s giveaway. I use this every day, and am actually using it while writing this post: my Swopper chair!!
(There are furniture moving disk thingies —scientific term— attached on the bottom to protect the floors.)
Not only is this chair extremely sleek and comfy, but it has hidden benefits. The beauty of this chair is that it allows for natural spinal movement: up and down, forward and back, and from side to side. If you’ll notice, in most desk chairs, you’re stuck in a stationary position. This can decrease circulation (as you’re not moving any muscles while you sit) and from that, decrease oxygen to the brain which can make us sleepy and not perform to optimum levels. The beauty of the Swopper chair is that it allows gentle movement in all planes, increases circulation, increases energy, and promotes improved posture. This is a huge one for me because I have horrible posture. When I’m in this chair, I feel comfortable, but am less likely to slouch.
We’ve just started to transition this little hallway nook into my office area, and the Swopper chair is my favorite piece.
The generous team at Swopper kindly offered a Classic Swopper chair (valued at $700+) to a very lucky reader.

I’m in grad school and spend a lot of time at a desk, so this chair would be an amazing thing to have!

I have been wanting something like this for my office for years! I am so afraid of the negative results of working a desk. I have tried to get a standing desk, and my company wont approve of the costs (I even tried to design my own but was told it was not allowed) this would be the perfect solution!!
Making me smile today – A Christmas date tonight with my fiance at Rolf’s which is known for it’s amazing Christmas decorations!!!!
my posture, especially at work, is terrible!
Great chair – I work for a Human Factor’s Engineering Company & this looks ergonomically friendly:) Thanks for hosting such a fabulous giveaway!
This would be THE PERFECT Christmas present for my new husband! He’s at his desk all day long and always complains of back pain. Really hope I win! Thanks!!
I would love to win this chair! I sit at my desk all the time studying and notice it a lot in my posture.
This is an awesome giveaway! I hope I win!
Oh wow, this would be so perfect. I’ve had a couple back spams in the last couple of months and the doc says is due to posture at work most likely. I’m guilty of slouching too. Need a solution big time!
What a cool chair!
I would love this! I’m a graduate student who has to spend a lot of time on the computer writing and doing statistical analyses and I have terrible posture and forget to get up and move a lot
I would love to win this chair, because it’s just fun looking, and would help with my horrid posture at my desk!

I’ve been looking into standing desk options lately for in-office work, but this may be a good alternative! I’ve never found a typical office chair to be comfortable and it’s typical that I’ll slouch into the curved back of them too. Not a good look for me or my spine.
I did your Kettlebell Rock workout this morning and just pulled a loaf of Paleo Bread out of the oven! Those are both making me smile this morning 😀
Cool chair!!

This chair is the answer to my dreams! I work from home and need something like this for my posture/back.
That looks absolutely awesome!!! I have problems with focusing after the morning work session, and I have been thinking about getting a chair such as this to try a different sitting environment. This would be PERFECT!

I would love to win a Swopper for my husband. he is in dental school and is constantly in a desk chair studying!
Wow! This is exactly what I need. I sit at a desk for over 7 hours a day. I’ve tried using a giant ball to mix it up a little. I love your blog and all your workout recommendations! Cheers!
i would really love to win this for my mom or dad … perfect for the home office.
I SIT for eight hours a day. Would love something like this!

I spend so much time at my desk and I could use all the help I can get making sure I don’t slouch!
I’ve never heard of these before! As a law student, I’m chronically sitting and chronically uncomfortable (aaand no end in sight to either) so this is my dream chair!
Love this giveaway. I also have horrible posture!
this is great! plus we have a very tight space in our office, so this would be perfect.

My spine needs this Swopper chair!
This chair looks awesome! As a singer I’m always looking for ways to help myself as a musician. I’m singing at Disneyland today!
Oh how I need this! I currently sit on a stool in our pantry/office and it’s so bad for my back! I ache after a few minutes and have to get up to move around frequently.

This chair would be perfect between working and starting graduate school in January, I’ll be doing a lot of sitting.
I’ve got a bad back and I think this chair would really help me out at work!

what a fantastic alternative to a desk chair! It would be so helpful in rehabbing my current hip injury to be able to run that half marathon I am signed up for in March.
I would love to win this! Right now, I have a fitness ball to sit on at work but it’s a tad too big so I’m either leaning forward or bouncing to stay on. This stool would be perfect!
I would love this chair! I’m a student so I end up sitting all day in class or at my desk going work. I’m constantly trying to remind myself to sit up straight but it’s tough when you’re tired or when you know slouching is so much more comfortable. 😉
I would love to have this in my office!
This would be awesome to win! I need a new desk chair. 🙂

I’ve been looking for a new office chair. I like how the Swopper doesn’t take up much space. I would love to try one!
I would love this chair for my 10 hour work days just to fight against some of the sitting I do.
As I sit here, hunched over at my desk, I can’t help but think that this would be amazing! I try to move around, but any little thing to help would be great.
I would love this! I work from home all the time and I just realized how important a good desk chair is after a bout of sciatic pain brought on by my beautiful (but not ergonomic) world market desk chair.
There is also a puppy curled up in my office that is making me smile as he snores on his pillow 🙂
How cool! I love the name!
I spend so much time at a desk and chair- this would be amazing !
