Desk Movement Board Rubber Mat - 60cm L

$19.00

Most of us sit for six, seven, eight hours a day. Not because we want to — because that's just how the day goes. And by mid-afternoon, the stiffness in your lower back, the tightness through your hips, the heavy legs — that's not laziness. That's what happens when a body built to move is held still for too long.

The Desk Movement Board Kit is the simplest answer to that problem. It lives under your desk. You don't have to schedule it, remember it, or think about it. Your feet find it and the movement just happens.

Movement that fits into your day

The Desk Movement Board sits under your feet while you work. Rock side to side, swivel, shift your weight — it's gentle, continuous movement that keeps your lower body active without interrupting a single thing you're doing.

It's not a workout. It's not a routine. It's just your feet moving the way they were meant to, through hours you're already spending at your desk.

The board works on carpet and hard floors alike. If you're on hardwood or tiles, grab the rubber mat from the 'Do you also need section above — it protects your floor and keeps the board in place.

Two minutes of rolling. Surprisingly effective.

The Cork Half Roller turns your board into a walking simulator for your legs and hips. The side-to-side rocking action mimics the natural movement of walking, keeping your lower legs, ankles, and arches quietly working through the day.

Off the board, you can also stand on it directly, one foot at a time, to stretch and open the foot arch, toes and calves. It's not a routine. Just a couple of minutes when your feet feel heavy, and your body needs a shake up.

Natural cork grips without slipping. Firm enough to be effective, forgiving enough to stand on when you need.

What our Desk Movers Say

★★★★★

It's so good to be able to move my feet while working at home. Great alternative to standing up when you're in the middle of something. It's the perfect height and size for me. So glad I discovered it.

— Katalin M. · Verified buyer

★★★★★

I bought this for hip pain as I wanted some gentle movement while at my desk at work. I got to use a colleagues gully board and after 10 minutes my pain was gone and hips felt looser, all day.

So glad I have my own now, it's become a normal part of my day and my back is much better for it.

Thanks!!

- Carla De Silva (Verified buyer)

★★★★★

The board has two different modes — one side is more subtle and the other is great for rhythmic patterns. Great quality product.

Before you decide

Will I actually use it?

It lives under your desk. You don't have to do anything differently — it's just there when your feet need it. Most customers tell us they stop thinking of it as a conscious decision after the first week.

Is it worth the price?

It's handmade from Australian hardwood and built to last a lifetime. This isn't something you'll replace. It's something you'll still have in ten years — and probably wonder how you worked without it.

What about my standing desk?

Research tells us standing is only marginally better than sitting at your desk and that people with a sit stand desk on average only stand 32% of the time, meaning you're still sitting for 68% of your day, with little to no movement.

Got hardwood or tiled floors?

The Desk Movement Board can create small marks on unprotected hardwood or tiled floors over time. The rubber mat sits underneath and protects your floor. Most of our customers on hard floors grab one. It's $19 and worth it.

Handmade in Melbourne

Every Desk Movement Board is made by hand in our workshop in Melbourne. We use sustainably sourced Australian hardwood — finished in a natural hardwax oil that brings out the grain and protects the timber for life.

No two boards are identical. The grain, the colour, the character — that's the timber, and it's different every time. What you're getting isn't a mass-produced product. It's a handmade object built to sit under your desk for years and still look like it belongs there.

frequently asked questions

100% satisfaction guarantee. If it's not right for you, get in touch and we'll make it right.

Orders ship within 1–2 business days. Most customers receive their board within 3–7 business days depending on location across Australia.

Most people feel it within the first few days — lighter legs, less stiffness by end of day. How much you notice depends on how long you're sitting. The longer the day, the more obvious it is.

Not at all. In fact it's really not for balance at all. It's for movement and it's gentle and natural. Anyone can use it from the first session. This isn't a pro balance board — it's designed for everyday desk use.

Carpet works well and holds the board naturally. For hardwood or tiled floors, add the rubber mat — it protects your floor and keeps things stable during use.

Yes & No. It is possible to use while at a standing desk, but it moves, a lot, when standing. This will be too much for most people to comfortably work at a standing desk. We do have a specifically designed standing desk movement board for this purpose. If you just want to have a little balance while standing, by all means, it's pretty tricky.

No. As the board is used while sitting, the majority of weight is carried by your chair, no the board. However please be mindful of the underlying surface - carpet may leave a small indentation and the board should be used with a mat on any hard timber or tiled surface.

Definitely helps with sports recovery!

I absolutely love this! As an active person on the weekends, Mondays were usually stiff and sore affairs. I feel like my recovery is sped up by getting some mobility in earlier, and I’m so glad I purchased one after sitting on it for a while.

Hi Elyce, we're so happy to hear that the Desk Movement Board Kit is helping with your recovery! Thanks for sharing your experience and for choosing Gully Boards. Keep moving and feeling great! Cheers Mark

Really satisfying to balance on but..

I’m happy with my purchase, however I wish I had known before that it’s not really suitable to use directly on a wooden floor (eg wood board touches wood floor) because the point of contact is so small and solid that it has dented my floor.

Also, the board itself was a little rough, so I sanded it down a bit and now it’s more comfortable for bare feet

Hi Elsa, thank you for your feedback. Glad you’re happy with the board. For reference, we do highlight that if the board is being used on tiled or timber surfaces it's important to add a mat to protect both the board and underlying surface. The board is supplied with anti slip oil that is rough in texture (To provide extra grip), we also offer the board to be supplied with a standard finish for anyone with sensory issues. Cheers Mark

Personal and professional use

I initially purchased the board for home use, but quickly recognised its value within my professional environment as a therapeutic resource.

I added the board, ball, and balancing blocks to the resource corner in my office and let clients know there were new items available. Neurodivergent child clients were immediately drawn to the board and ball for sensory input, using them to pretend they were surfing or skateboarding, or playing catch with their parents.

Anxious teens also responded well to the products. Some enjoyed the gentle movement of the board under their feet while seated in session, while others found the firmness of the ball grounding to hold between their hands while talking.

The balancing blocks were especially popular with younger children. However, for neurodivergent clients or those who prefer uniformity and predictability, it may be helpful to mention beforehand that the blocks are slightly different sizes.

Overall, these are great products and have been a valuable addition to my therapeutic space.

It’s encouraging me to stand and move!

I have a sit-stand desk riser. Found I wasn’t using it as I didn’t like standing - stand still made my legs and feet restless and “uncomfortable”.

The Gully Board is a game changer for me. I love standing up regularly now as it’s fun! Really truly, it’s fun!

Pricey piece of kit, but it’s well made, looks great, and I like that I am supporting a small Australian business.

Fidget? It’s a winner

I can’t sit still to save my life. The board gives me something to fidget with while I’m working. I alternate between the cork with the sphere facing up and just the board with the sphere on the ground. Gives me a bunch of alternative ways to fidget and different sensory inputs. If you have adhd like I do, it’s an absolute winner

Thanks Marc, that's amazing feedback!

Love stimming with this board!

Late-diagnosed AuDHD-er here. I’ve spent so many years twiddling my feet or putting pressure on them for sensory input, but didn’t know why. Sitting is boring for my brain, but the Gully board helps me move and then my focus improves. I like the two different modes; one side is more subtle and the other is great for rhythmic patterns. Thanks for a great quality product!

Hi Sahpee,

Thanks so much for the feedback, so glad that the board is helping you out. Cheers Mark

Love the Gully Board

It's so good to be able to move my feet while in working at home. Great alternative to standing up when you're in the middle of something. It's the perfect height and size for me. So glad I discovered it. Almost tempted to ask for one at work as well.

Awesome to hear Katalin and you should totally nag your boss about one for the office 😉

Betcha By Gully Wow

In answer to your question I’m not in a position to rate your product. The gully board was a gift to my daughter-in-law, who discovered the item. She’s the expert who should be asked to rate it.

The only thing I can say was her response when she opened her Christmas gift: “Wow! Thanks, Dad.”

Thanks for letting us know Luis. Feel free to forward the email to your daughter. But we always do love a 'Wow, thanks Dad!' Cheers Mark

Awesome Christmas gift!

Bought this for my adult son as he gets lots of calf cramps. Also ADHD so he is loving the gully board! 😍

Great to hear Susan! Cheers Mark

a gift of self care

Very comfortable sitting at my computer with my feet on the desk movement board. My knees are almost level with my hips now and the constant movement is helping the stiffness in my lower body.

Great product, perfect for an under-desk fidget

I have a tendency to break most footrests in my office at work because I wiggle or move too violently - this board is not going to suffer the same fate! It's perfect with the cork roller for a left/right alternating movement, and if I flip it over onto the domed side I get a less exaggerated but more varied range of motion and can keep the ankles moving as well.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.

Wow, thanks Lani! That might just be the best feedback we've ever had! Cheers Mark

Awesome desk movement board

Love this product. Great way to move whilst working. Well crafted. I would recommend to everyone

Thanks for the great feedback Judy, really appreciate it 🙌

Great quality, makes me stand more!

I originally bought a gully board to use sitting down at my sit/stand desk, but I find it's so fun to swivel and balance that I stand alot more and for longer! It's great to be able to shift your weight in different ways so I feel less stiff at the end of the day. Love it! Good quality too.

Game changer

I brought this for hip pain as I wanted some gentle movement while at my desk at work. I got to use a colleagues gully board and after 10 minutes my pain was gone and hips felt looser, all day.
So glad I have my own now, it's become a normal part of my day and my back is much better for it.
Thanks!!

Thanks for the awesome feedback Carla, great to hear it's working well for your hip. Cheers Mark

Love my Gully Board

I keep my Gully Board at my desk, it reminds me to keep moving and helps to prevent a stiff back. Thanks

Thanks Karen, Awesome feedback 🙌

Great for WFH office

I bought this for my husband to use in the home office. He has a few tennis injuries, sitting still all day wasn't helping the healing. He says he is surprised that the little movements help his legs not feel sore by the end of the day and he can concentrate better in his online meetings.

Desk & Mini Balance Board Rubber Mat

The best

I use this daily for working from home and it’s fabulous!

Best birthday gift

Bought these for my sons who have office jobs where they sit far too much. At least now I know they will get the health benefits of using the Gully Board to counteract sitting at a desk all day.

Hi Louise,

One time curious IG user come big believer and sans achilles tightness and soreness.

I spend a lot of my day sitting behind a screen and have struggled with Achilles issues, tightness, and soreness. My GP initially prescribed anti-inflammatory medication and therapy, but after just a week of using the Gully Board while working, I feel significantly better—loose and pain-free. I’ve even been able to stop the medication. I was skeptical at first, but I can confidently say this product is like the "chicken soup" for sedentary work life—it just works!

Ordered as a bday gift. They sit at a desk all day, and said their Gully Balance Board has been great! Successful pressie 🎁 It came packaged well & wood was nice quality - Aussie made also swayed my purchase!

Thanks for the great feedback! Cheers Mark

Quality Product

Great service and comms.
Love the product. I spend more time than I'd like in the car and at a desk. Not great for running, product is helping me to reduce the toll of sitting and driving so much
