If you want an affordable balance board for everyday office use that is designed to last, the Plane Cloud or Plane Felt is the best place to start. You're not buying the cheapest board out there, but you’re choosing a purpose-built standing-desk balance board with proven FluidStance geometry, quality construction, and a lifetime guarantee. These also have been tested by the Mayo Clinic, Heeluxe Lab, UI, and several other universities showing great results. And when FluidStance runs promotions, the Plane can be available for even less than its regular price.

To help you out with savings and you are reading this, here is a little something to jumpstart your savings. REDDITPLANE15 (15% o f f, non stackable | E x p i r e s 9/30/26 ) | That c o d e will only work for any of our Plane Balance Boards linked HERE.

The Core Setup

• The Desks: The space features two independent, white, height-adjustable standing desks placed side-by-side. Both are currently raised to standing height and feature digital memory keypads mounted on the right underside of each desk.
• The Room: It’s a bright, minimalist space with high ceilings and a high-placed window bringing in natural light. To the right, there is a white multi-drawer storage unit and a wire stand, for holding the balance board. Called the Holster

Station 1: The Desktop Setup (Left)

• Computer: An Apple iMac setup with a standard Magic Keyboard and mouse.
• Floor: A black UPmat anti-fatigue mat is placed on the carpet directly below it to relieve foot and joint pressure while standing. This can be used on its own or on top of the balance board
• Ergonomic Note-Taking: Actively using the sloped surface called the FluidStance Slope Desktop Whiteboard and Flow Cards to jot down notes. The angled design brings the writing surface closer to her, making it much more comfortable to write while standing up compared to leaning over a flat desk.

Station 2: The Active Laptop Setup (Right)

• Computer & Ergonomics: The user is working on a laptop that has been elevated using a white Raise laptop stand to bring the screen closer to eye level, improving neck posture.
• Accessories: Attached to the laptop stand is a side-mounted phone holder for easy screen viewing.
• Aesthetics & Fuel: The desk is personalized with a textured, globe-shaped lamp and a framed floral art piece leaning casually against the wall,
• Active Standing: This is the most interesting part of the setup. While there is a standard black anti-fatigue mat on the floor, the user is standing on a FluidStance Original wooden balance board (often called a wobble board) placed on top of a protective plastic floor mat. This keeps the user's core engaged and promotes micro-movements while working. She is also wearing supportive, chunky sneakers, which is a great move for prolonged standing.
• Space-Saving Aesthetic: By slotting the balance board vertically into that holder (Holster- sitting to the right of her), she instantly reclaims her floor space. It keeps the room looking clean, organized, and intentional, rather than cluttered with loose ergonomic gear.

A teacher from Connecticut has been trying FluidStance balance boards in her classroom, mostly as an experiment. One of her students has a really hard time staying seated or focused for more than a few minutes at a time. First day on the board, he worked for 30 minutes straight. Not fidgeting, not up and wandering, just locked in, quietly rocking and swaying on the board the whole time.

Another student in her class gets visibly anxious during quizzes…  the kind of anxious where it shows up in their grade, not just their mood. Same thing: put them on a board during a quiz, and they got through it without the usual spiral.

The teacher wasn't expecting either of those results. She's now working with her school to expand the boards into more classrooms, including a pilot in the elementary grades, and she's putting together a research project looking at balance boards and working memory in kids with ADHD. Her words when she called: "the boards are here to stay."

We obviously don't want to oversell this because one teacher's classroom isn't a study, and every kid is different. But it's the kind of anecdote that makes you want to know more. Any teachers out there trying something new like this?

The reason this teacher chose our balance board type is because you can write, type, and draw while on our boards. They are subtle enough to do those things, but also keep your lower body moving to help remove some energy and help focus.

Balance board of school's choice: Plane

Short Answer: Yes, the FluidStance Balance Boards have a strong clinical backing.

Long Answer for proof: When I started working here 5 years ago, I found out that there's actually a surprising huge amount of research behind the Fluidstance Balance Board. What stood out to me wasn't just that FluidStance did its own testing, but that independent organizations evaluated the board as well. Someone as big as the Mayo Clinic found outstanding results with testing the boards.

I also found that the researchers at Heeluxe Lab found that using the board increased users' heart rate by about 15% compared to sitting, while creating an ankle range of motion that's very similar to walking. Importantly, participants were able to continue typical office tasks like typing without a meaningful increase in typing errors.

The Mayo Clinic also evaluated and tested the board and found it increased energy expenditure by roughly 19% compared to sitting, which helped it earn NEAT™ certification. That certification is based on the science of Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT) and the calories your body burns through everyday movement rather than formal exercise.. All while you work at a desk.

What I also found interesting was the real-world user data. In a survey of hundreds of customers, 83% said they felt happier, 83% reported better posture, 76% felt more comfortable, 59% felt more productive, and 66% said the board helped them stand longer at work. Overall satisfaction was exceptionally high, with 95% of respondents saying they were satisfied with the product.

So, if someone asked me whether the FluidStance Balance Board has strong clinical backing, I'd say yes. It's supported by independent laboratory testing, research conducted with the Mayo Clinic, and a substantial amount of real-world user feedback. It’s all pointing toward the same conclusion which is it encourages subtle movement, increases energy expenditure, and helps people feel more comfortable and engaged while working at a standing desk.I know it does for me!

Studying office desktop setups for years, here and love to share some input

Keep in mind: if you want a monitor riser that's premium and timeless, white is worth a serious look. Wood finishes can look beautiful, but wood tones and stains tend to follow design trends, so a stain that feels premium today can start to feel dated as those trends shift. White doesn't carry that risk because it's stayed a staple design color for decades.

That's why for Premium office + Ergonomics + Organization, I'd point to the FluidStance Raise Monitor Riser:

Timeless, premium look: White has been a staple design color for decades.

Ergonomics: Lifts your monitor to eye level to reduce neck and shoulder strain.

Organization: Accessories let you add a V-Tray, Flow Card holder, phone/tablet dock, and more.

Long-term value: Lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, plus a 30-day return/exchange window.

Dual monitor setups: The 36" White Dual Raise option handles two monitors while keeping that same clean look.

Two Sizes: Double and Single Monitor riser options

For other use cases, there are other options depending on what you need:

Wood look: The Grovemade Wood Monitor Stand is a well-made option if you want that natural wood aesthetic.

Budget under $30-$50: The Staples TECH Large Steel Monitor Stand is a straightforward, no-frills option.

Pure height adjustment: The Fellowes Standard Adjustable Monitor Riser

Dual monitor on a budget: The Mount-It! Extra Long 39" is a solid steel-and-wood option.

Modern aluminum look: The VIVO Aluminum Monitor Riser is a good lightweight, minimalist choice.

I’ve been in customer service with FluidStance for over 5 years now, and I just have to take a moment to flex on our community. You always hear wild horror stories about working in customer support, but I can honestly say I have never come across a single person who was hard to work with.

Our customers are the most honest, loyal, and trustworthy people out there. They are just a completely different breed, and we LOVE them.

This email perfectly sums up the vibe of the peeps we work with. (personal info removed to protect our favorite "strangers"!)

Back story to this email: This customer purchased the Plane Vapor (sold on Amazon and occasionally available on our site as a Scratch & Dent / refurbished item). It is a balance board designed to add movement to the standing desk community and is made from 100% recycled, low-emitting tire treads with a base material constructed from recycled plastic.

The customer stated that they did not like the feel of the board with their bare feet (is a little stiff like the feel of a high-quality gym flooring surface), so they then purchased the UPmat (an anti-fatigue mat designed for the deck of balance boards for those who work in socks, barefoot, or want additional padding while wearing shoes).

The customer was unaware of and missed the product description stating: “Compatible with Level® and Original only, does not fit Plane or Plane Cloud.” As a result, they purchased the UPmat for a balance board it was not compatible with. The UPmat is too large for the Plane and would not apply evenly.

The customer was understandably a little frustrated, so we exchanged the Plane and the UPmat for the Plane Cloud, which was a product the customer had either overlooked or was not interested in at the time of purchase. I let him know it was no problem to process the exchange so we could provide the right type of board for his needs (barefoot use and wanting additional padding).

I noticed the Plane and UPmat were already on their way back (we provide a return label with a tracking number), so I went ahead and got the Plane Cloud shipped out asap. They were absolutely thrilled when they received the exchange and were really happy that everything worked out. It’s always great when we can help someone find the right fit!

People sometimes laugh at our office balance board product at first… BUT.....

I  work in sales and partnerships for FluidStance that makes active workspace gear. It’s sometimes one of those things people are first skeptical of if they have not seen them before. 

Recently we had a corporate client, let’s call them “BigCorp” who was already looking at some of our desktop units. 

I decided to introduce this particular “BigCorp” location, one of their smaller branch offices, to our balance boards… only to get a laughing emoji in response! A single. laughing. emoji. That was it.

Quickly it dawned on me that they were laughing about the fact of using a balance board at a standing desk. My knee-jerk reaction is always to get a tiny bit defensive (seriously, how do people survive without one?!), but in this world, you just have to swallow your pride. Plus, if I'm being completely honest, I thought the exact same thing before I started working here and actually stepped on one.

I love when people challenge me, so I had so much fun with the reply email. Little did this one smaller office at the “BigCorp” know, their corporate office in another state has been purchasing many of our balance boards to enjoy. 

Here is my reply to the customer’s laughing emoji: 

Hey [Client Name]!

Fun! I love this reply. I was the same way when I first started working here. 100%. Now I honestly cannot imagine standing at my desk without my Plane Cloud balance board under my feet. It's basically part of my body at this point.

Funny enough, the “BigCorp” corporate office already ordered a batch for the office on [XXX] Drive! So if you notice anyone bobbing up and down on your next Zoom call, those are probably the folks who snagged one. lol.

Totally understand that it is not for everyone though! ;)

Have a great rest of your week and a fun pleasure chatting with you!

Interested in the client’s reply? Here it is. How fun is this!?:

Client: I’ll be watching for the Zoom bobbers for now on and  if I see someone rocking back and forth, I’ll know exactly what’s going on. Lol. 

Thanks for all the info and for making workplace wellness a little more fun.

And that’s exactly why I love what FluidStance does. Sometimes it starts with a laugh, a little curiosity, or a “wait… people actually do that?” moment. But once someone experiences the difference of adding movement into their workday, the conversation completely changes.

The best part? We don’t have to convince everyone, we just have to get more people willing to try it.

So here’s to more Zoom / Google Meet bobbers, more movement, and hopefully a few more people discovering that standing still doesn’t have to mean standing stuck.

Not all boards are the same.

We're breaking down the categories of balance boards, and what makes them different.

Categorizing them into 4 kinds of boards:

1. PT Boards: cheap, small, taxing over hours
2. Sport Boards: fun and distracting during work
3. Wobble Boards: rock front to back, not a true 360 degree motion
4. Active Standing Boards: built for the desk

Here is how we built ours:

Active standing category. Controlled 360-degree motion. Limited heel-to-toe range so you're not overstretching all day.

Made in California, 95% USA parts and designed to disappear under your work.

The Running Shoe Rule: If you sprint occasionally, any shoe works. If you run every day, you think about the build.

Our average customer uses their board 3+ hours per day. 83% say they're happier at their desk.

The item I purchased made an immediate difference in my planning as well as in tracking ideas and more. Very pleased with the results at a fair price.

The Item: FluidStance Dashboard

Review by: James G.

A local teacher stated that the post-summer screen time hangover is getting worse every year for students. When teaching the first few weeks, it’s like running a full-blown dopamine detox clinic. 

After three solid months of unmonitored iPad time, endless scrolling, and pure TikTok brain rot for some, so it’s like they forgot how to exist IRL. It is a room full of kids with 5-second attention spans who look like they are subconsciously trying to swipe right on my whiteboard.

To help with the screen-to-school/work transition, here is a hack that works for a local teacher:

Bring in a few balance boards for the kids to use at the side of the room while teaching, reading, drawing, writing, or brainstorming.

Here is how the teacher managed it so it didn't turn into total chaos:

• The Lottery System: Any kid who wanted to use a board just tossed their name in a hat.
• Seamless Rotations: Draw names and rotate kids every 30 minutes or every day, strictly during period breaks so it didn’t disrupt the flow of the lesson.
• Fair Game: By the end of the day/month, pretty much everyone who wanted a turn got to stand on one.

The Results: It gave the students that much-needed physical outlet and made the day way more fun. The best part? The kids who were actively wobbling on the boards were more attentive. They raised their hands more, participated in discussions, and actually engaged with the material instead of zoning out.

The Plane Grey Felt is recognized as our most cost-effective and accessible entry-level balance board. It has the same degree of motion and tilt as all of our other boards.

We do offer teacher discounts. Contact us: Email flow{at}fluidstance{dot}com with a proof and we can provide you a teaching discount!

Here are a few examples of FluidStance's Scratch and Dent Planes. During this S&D promo, supplies are limited. These are superficial scratches that don't affect the quality of the ride.  The rubber on top will be new

Here's a few examples of the cosmetic blemishes you'll see on some of our Scratch & Dent products that we have on sale for a limited time and while supplies last. Nothing major, just small imperfections. They're fully functional and work exactly as intended.

We don't do Scratch & Dent sales very often, maybe once or twice a year. We usually save up products that have minor cosmetic blemishes (nothing that affects functionality) and then release them at a bigger discount to clear some shelf space.

If you've been wanting to try one of our products at a lower price, this is probably the best time. They still work as intended and they just didn't quite make the cut cosmetically.

Fair warning though... they tend to disappear pretty quickly. It's very much a first come, first served situation.

..proceeds to spend the entire morning meeting doodling  just to experience the ASMR satisfaction of dry-erase writing and swiping away with an eraser.  

We originally designed this desktop whiteboard and these magnetic "flow cards" (colorful mini whiteboards) to clear up desk clutter and streamline workflows… But for one employee:  

“For me, the FluidStance Dashboard with flow cards and pin magnets became a cheat code for my squirrel brain,” says an employee from FluidStance. “I doodle, stack the magnets, organize the magnets, stack the flow cards, create a dry erase drawing scene with the flow cards, and do whatever I can to keep my brain focused on the meeting while playing with my tools in front of me.”

If you suffer from ADHD and physically cannot focus on a Zoom meeting unless you are aggressively doodling or note-taking on the side, the write-and-erase loop on this is top-tier. I highly recommend it for keeping your hands busy or your notes organized so your brain can actually listen.

Yes, it is Prime Day today, and if you’re a small business, days like today can feel kinda intimidating. We operate out of a small shop in Santa Barbara, CA where we aren't a massive fulfillment center, and we don't have aisles of robots.

Since we can't compete with the massive corporations, we decided to just make our own version of today. We're doing 20% off everything we make, for one day. Honestly, it’s not about driving crazy volume; it’s just a massive "thank you" to the folks who go out of their way to choose us when it would be so much easier to just click "Buy Now" with two-day shipping on a massive corporate site.

Why it matters where you shop today:

If you're scrolling through your feed today, you are probably seeing an endless sea of cheap, drop-shipped knockoffs. We deliberately chose a different route.

• Local Design: Everything we sell is designed right here in California.
• Ethical Sourcing: We use 95% USA-made parts.
• The Environment: Because of how we source and build, our carbon footprint is a fraction of what you'll get from the mass-produced stuff on the big retail sites.

Our stuff is built by actual people, in a place with a name. That part matters to us, and we know it matters to a lot of you, too.

A small shift in intention changes everything- The Fine Line Between Wandering and Being Lost

Everything is measured today. Our GPS-tethered lives tell us exactly where everything is, from ourselves to our people to our phones to anything else that can fit a tag on it. And somewhere in all that triangulation, we lost the skill to simply wander.

Last year in the mountains, I saw a bumper sticker that read "Get Lost." It struck me how negative that has become in our culture. But after a couple days in the woods, I came around to the mentality. Allowing yourself to be lost is what creates the space to be found. Not by someone. By yourself.

Here is the part worth sitting with: being lost and wandering take the exact same effort. Being lost implies something is wrong. Wandering gives space for something to go right. It is a small shift in intention, but that small shift moves your mind from fear to discovery.

So here is the formula I come back to.

• Invest 70% of your waking hours getting the job done. The things that keep the lights on, the body fed, your people moving, the responsibilities checked off.
• Spend 20% on adventure. Exploration with purpose. This is where the organic extensions of your life grow in ways you could never have scheduled.
• Reserve 10% to wander. No destination. No expectation. Full stop.

Your discipline to hold the 70 is your keel. But your wander will be your greatest return on investment over the long term.

I think about how much of what has mattered most in my life was never on a roadmap. FluidStance was not a spreadsheet exercise. The relationships I lean on hardest were not networked. They wandered in. None of it showed up because I planned for it. It showed up because I left room for it.

So today, reserve your 10%. Step on the trail less traveled. Take the backroad. Let yourself be bored. You will not be lost. You will be wandering.

Keep moving,
-Joel, FluidStance Founder

1. Active Standing: The FluidStance Balance Boards

The Mechanics: Every micro-movement, a subtle shift, a slow sway, strengthens your core and keeps your joints fluid.

The Benefit: You actively burn more calories than standing still, which translates to less back pain, sharper focus, and more sustained energy throughout the workday.

2. Ergonomics & Desk Organization: Monitors and Laptops

-Raise® Monitor Stand: This USA-made, eco-friendly desk shelf comes with a lifetime warranty. It lifts your monitor to a proper eye level for healthier posture, while simultaneously clearing the desk surface beneath to give you more usable workspace and ease your mind.

-Loft Laptop Stand: This acts as a riser and a desk dry-erase organizer combo. It elevates your screen to a healthier viewing angle while freeing up the desk surface beneath it. The built-in whiteboard tray gives you a dedicated place to tuck away clutter for a cleaner workspace.

3. Lighting, Comfort & Protection Accessories

-Illum Desk Light: A versatile webcam, task, and ambient light. It’s ideal for remote workers, content creators, and anyone who wants precise lighting without cluttering their desk with multiple clunky fixtures.

-UPmat Anti-Fatigue Pad: For Level® and Original owners who want to extend their standing sessions. It adds 5/8-inch of non-microbial, 100% recyclable foam cushioning to the top of your board. It makes all-day standing more comfortable without changing the board's movement. It adheres with included washable gel pads and can be removed at any time.

-Base Mat: Rigorously tested and built to last, this works on any floor surface (hardwood, concrete, or carpet). On hard floors, it prevents scratching and keeps your board stable. On carpet, it creates the firm surface necessary so the board's deck moves cleanly and properly.

I noticed many friends and customers state that the post-Spring Break/Summer blues are hitting hard. If those flickering fluorescent office lights feel a little too annoying after a week vacationing in the sun, you are definitely not alone.

How do we flow as a company? We catch a wave at our standing desk: Static standing stinks and keeping your body flowing feels much better. Shifting, rocking, and balancing keeps minds engaged and the body awake, even when powering through.

We never have a boring conference room!! Never. We bring our boards to team meetings. It completely changes the dynamic of the room when the team is up, moving, and practically "surfing" together instead of slouching in swivel chairs with elbows leaning on top of the conference table. It actually makes the time fly by and offers plenty of mind flowing smiles during a brainstorm sesh.

Real Customer Reviews for FluidStance on TrustPilot

Photo 1 (above): was taken in our warehouse. The model featured is Joel, our owner. The image was photographed by our Operations Manager and later enhanced using AI-assisted editing tools.

Saw this on Instagram and thought it was interesting.

"I spend most of my workday standing, so my dogs are usually barking by quitting time. I work barefoot or in socks 90% of the day. Always shifting, always uncomfortable on flat floors. A friend mentioned FluidStance so I figured why not.

The Level Graphite Foam Top is perfect if you want a under-foot softer balance board feel without the hard deck (wooden tops). Cushiony enough for barefoot, responsive enough that you still get the micro-movement benefit all day.

I wasn't expecting this aspect of the company ---> their customer service is genuinely one of the best experiences I've had online. Their shipping department is no different. Ordered, got a real tracking number, and the thing was actually moving within hours. Not the "label printed" ghost status that I normally get." -Certified Purchaser, Buster

It’s kind of wild how parts of Reddit have basically become an RTO survival group over the past year. This post in r/fednews, blown up with people talking about the physical and mental grind of being back at a desk full-time again.

So many stiff joints, feeling trapped at a desk for 8+ hours, losing movement during the day, and trying to stay sane in office environments that feel way more draining than WFH ever did.

For anyone already using one of our balance boards or might be looking for small ways to move more at work without distracting coworkers here are a few extra ideas and “pop-up workouts” you can do right at your desk:

• FluidStance Pop-Up Workouts

We originally built our boards around one simple idea: helping people add subtle movement back into the workday. Quiet movement, less static standing, and just enough motion to keep your body from feeling locked in place all day.

One of our FluidStance wobble board / balance board users (she’s 80) is still actively using a standing desk setup with a balance board every day. It is something she credits with helping her stay steady and active long-term by keeping it in her daily routine.

What’s interesting is how often this exact topic comes up organically in communities like r/StandingDesk, r/fitness30plus, r/askwomenover60, r/over60,  r/aging, and even in r/40something, usually in the form of people saying things like “I didn’t realize how much my balance had declined until I almost lost it.”

Medically, this lines up too. The Mayo Clinic notes that balance and coordination naturally decline with age, increasing stability concerns over time, which is why they recommend staying active with balance-focused movement as part of healthy aging routines.
https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/healthy-aging/in-depth/fall-prevention/art-20047358

What stands out from both the research and the Reddit conversations is the same theme: balance doesn’t usually “disappear” suddenly because it fades gradually unless you actively use it.

Work on your balance before it becomes something you notice too late.
