Stability Ball recommendations

I have a FIRM stability ball that's a year or two old, and it seems to be losing air quite a bit. It came with a DVD for $20, so I'm not sure if it's a cheaper piece of equipment, or if this is the normal lifespan.

I was wondering if anyone had an recommendations for me. How's Cathe's? I notice Perform Better has a couple of choices, and I've found others via Google. Anyone happy with their stability ball?

Thanks! :)
 
I have a Gaiam & it's perfect. I've had it for years. Once in a while I have to inflate it a bit, but it's definitely high quality & very durable.
 
I love my new Cathe stability ball. I had a very cheap one that I used for several years. I can not believe the difference it makes to have a good quality stability ball!!
 
I have a pink Danskin no burst (or whatever they are called) that I got at Marshall's. I love it. It is very thick and a complete difference from others that I have had (even the no burst kind that I had before). After a number of months, it has lost no air either.
 
Okay, I have a stability ball question.

I just got Cathe's. It comes with a measuring tape to make sure you inflate it to the proper size. Awesome foot pump, by the way. Way better than the hand thingy I have from the FIRM.

Did anyone else have to let the ball stretch a bit after inflating part way? I've filled it to where it's super tight and feels like it ain't gonna stretch any more, but it's no where near the circumference of the supplied measuring tape.

I googled some basic info, and one site said anti burst balls can be like this, and one often needs to partially inflate it, wait a day, and then inflate the rest of the way. Makes sense, but I thought I'd ask you guys as well.

My FIRM ball inflated to it's total size right away, but it also seems to be made of slightly thinner material.

Thanks!
