FluidStance Plane Cloud

As humans we aren’t designed to be sat on our butts all day, it’s bad for our bodies and our minds. So, it can be difficult if your job keeps you tied to a desk all day, however that’s no excuse to keep moving. The FluidStance Plane Cloud is a balance board that aims to keep your muscles constantly working (in a gentle way not in a boot camp way) whilst you are at your desk.

The Plane Cloud is designed with an eco-friendly EVA foam top that’s soft enough to stand on all day but still firm enough to keep your balance in check. It’s like a yoga mat and a balance board had a baby. If you stand barefoot or in socks while working, your feet will thank you.

Underneath, it’s made from recycled plastic and has a slightly curved base that gives just the right amount of movement. It’s not wobbly or unstable—it’s more of a subtle, constant shift that keeps your body engaged. You’re moving without really thinking about it, which is great for improving posture, reducing fatigue, and avoiding that locked-in “standing still” stiffness.

In terms of size and practicality, it fits nicely under most desks and is light enough to move around easily. It’s also super quiet, so you won’t be creaking around during calls or disturbing your coworkers (or cats, in my case). It’s worth getting something to pop underneath it to protect hard floors, Fluid Stance have the Base Mat but its not cheap at £87.

One of the biggest pluses is that it just makes standing more enjoyable. It sort of scratches a fidgety itch I tend to get whilst working at the deskI find I can comfortably stand longer, and I feel less stiff at the end of the day, particularly in my knees. It’s a small change that adds up, especially if you’re trying to be less sedentary.

On the downside, it’s not the cheapest option out there and its rather limited in what else it can do, and if you’re looking for something more intense—like a full-on balance trainer for workouts—this isn’t it. But for what it’s designed to do, it nails it.
All in all, the FluidStance Plane Cloud is a simple, comfortable, and surprisingly effective way to stay active while you work. If you’re standing more and want to level up your setup, it’s well worth considering. RRP £152
