Saw a fab ball chair today and wondered where to buy one

I went to visit an ASD unit today and a chair caught my eye. It is basically a gym ball suspended In an office type chair with back support and castors.

It looked so fab I asked the unit leader how much it cost. She told me it was about £40, but I have searched unsuccessfully on the web to find something in this price range.

Would anyone know where I can get one in that sort of price range? I think it would make an excellent Xmas gift for my (as yet undiagnosed) ASD 8 year old son Grin.

No price on the site here but looking round about £60 seems to be RRP

could only find this one on amazon, but it would be £90 inc. delivery Sad

It's disappointing, my budget for Xmas present is max £50 per child Sad.

The ASD unit leader must get big discounts!

Oooh that chair looks brilliant! .. But I need to know is there a bit of bounce factor in it?

Yessssssss, it comes out of the frame and needs occasional top up pumping like a gym ball.
