An anti-burst ball deflates slowly if punctured rather than exploding, so a user sitting or lying on it lowers gently to the floor. The kg rating (300kg or 500kg) refers to static load, not user weight limit — both are safe for standard use, with 500kg preferred for studio and clinical settings. Why do studio mats have eyelets? Eyelets let mats hang on a wall rack, which keeps them flat, dry and off the floor between classes. It is the standard format for studios and clubs storing 20 or more mats. What size swiss ball do I need? Sit on the ball — hips and knees should be at roughly 90 degrees with feet flat. As a guide: 55cm up to 1.65m tall, 65cm for 1.65m to 1.85m, and 75cm above that.
