Your 3pm slump isn't inevitable
Your energy dips, focus fades, and sitting still only makes it worse. So we didn't just make claims: researchers at the University of Idaho, Mayo Clinic Arizona, Westmont College and Heeluxe Lab have each measured what happens when your body keeps moving at work.
of 464 surveyed customers said the Level® increased how long they stood at work.
Lab figures measured on the Level® Balance Board
University of Idaho · Peer-reviewed
17%Higher oxygen consumption than sitting, and the highest energy burn of all three working positions tested. A randomized study of 30 desk workers, published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise (2018).
Westmont College
21%More oxygen consumption than standing still, about 14.8 extra calories an hour under study conditions. The comparison that matters most if you already own a standing desk.
University of Idaho · Heeluxe Lab
Keep WorkingNo significant difference in typing speed or accuracy versus sitting or standing: 52.7 words per minute on the board, 51.9 sitting. Heeluxe Lab also found no increase in typing errors.
Every controlled study found more activity on the board than its comparison, whether sitting or standing still.

Straight from the work athletes
4.8 out of 5 from 529 board reviews
"By 3pm I used to be a puddle. Now I'm still shifting, still moving, still sharp. The Level turned my standing desk into the best part of my day."
"Started on the Plane because of the price, and now I use it at my desk and at the gym. The cushioned top is the reason I stopped shuffling around all afternoon."
"Built my Original in walnut to match the desk and it looks like furniture. Six years in, it moves exactly like it did on day one."
Before you jump on
Start with the Plane® if you want the easiest way in, a lighter board, or something that moves between your desk and the gym. Choose the Level® if you're on your feet for full working days and want the aluminum base with a wood or foam top. Go with the Original if you want to build your board exactly your way — base color and top deck. All three share the same 360° tilt geometry, so the motion itself is identical.
None are required — every board works straight out of the box. The Base Mat is the most popular add-on: it protects hard floors and gives your board a firm surface on carpet, and it fits every board. The Holster stores any board upright when you sit. For the Level® and Original, the UPmat adds foam cushioning for all-day comfort and the Challenge Cap raises the balance point for short, more intense sessions.
Yes — the Fleet bundles five balance boards with a Hi-5 rack to store them, at exclusive bundle pricing. Choose Original, Level® or Plane® Cloud boards. If you already have boards, the Hi-5 Rack is sold on its own too.
Not at all. Our boards are built for subtle, natural movement — small shifts underfoot, not a wobble you have to fight. You stand normally and let your body drift within a gentle range, and it's comfortable for every fitness level.
Yes — every board fits any standing desk setup. The compact footprint tucks under your desk when you're moving and slides out of the way when you're not. No mounting, no adjustments. Step on and go.
The Level® and the Original are built on military-grade die-cast aluminum bases and support up to 350 lbs. The Plane® uses a recycled plastic base in a lighter, more compact build. All three are made in the USA to take daily use for years.
Research using the Mayo Clinic protocol found a 19.2% increase in energy expenditure compared to sitting, and independent testing at Heeluxe Lab measured a 15% higher heart rate and ankle motion close to a natural walking stride. 83% of our users report being happier at work. Read the white paper.
Every order ships within one business day. Shipping on balance boards is a flat $ 9, whichever board you choose.
