Birthing balls

I need a good quality birthing ball for my workshop this weekend. i have a small, cheap one, for exersizing, but it's not large enough for my course, unfortunately. What are some good brands? Where could I buy one? And does it have to cost a fortune to be good?

I bought 2 exercise balls at Aldi for $12.99 each. They are 65 in diameter and work great!

I've seen high quality exercise ones at Ross for great prices. Guess I'm assuming most people know what Ross is sorry if I'm way out in left field.

I got mine at Wal-Mart. I can't remember exactly, but I believe it was less than $16. It's the Danskin brand 65 cm. and is burst resistant. I really like it.

i get them at marshalls or tjmaxx for around $12, though i think i once paid about $40 for one at relax the back....live and learn!

you could probably get one on ebay pretty cheap too and i don't think the exercise ones are really any different at all but thats just my experience
