Our flexible seating range is designed to help children move, focus, and learn comfortably at home or in the classroom. Recommended by occupational therapists, these seating options including balance cushions, therapy balls, and posture supports — encourage active sitting to improve core strength, posture, and attention. Flexible seating is especially helpful for children with sensory needs, ADHD, or those who benefit from movement while working, reading, or doing homework. By allowing safe fidgeting and better body awareness, flexible seating can support self-regulation, reduce restlessness, and create a more inclusive learning environment for every child.
Flexible Seating to Support Every Child’s Way of Learning
Children experience and process the world in many different ways. Some concentrate best when they can move, some feel more comfortable with extra postural support, and others simply benefit from having a choice in how they sit. Our flexible seating collection is designed by occupational therapists to help create learning spaces where every child, neurodivergent or neurotypical, can feel comfortable, engaged, and ready to learn, whether at home, in the classroom, or during therapy.
Supports Movement While Staying Engaged
Many children’s bodies need to move in order to focus. Tools such as balance cushions, therapy balls, peanut balls, sit-and-twist cushions, balance boards, and spinning chairs allow safe, gentle movement without leaving the workspace. This movement helps regulate sensory input, keeps children alert, and reduces the discomfort that can come from having to stay completely still.
Promotes Posture & Core Stability Without Restriction
Some learners find sitting tiring because maintaining posture takes effort. Products like Movin’ Sit wedge cushions, balance cushions, and therapy balls naturally encourage upright sitting, strengthen the core, and support comfortable body alignment, making writing, reading, and listening more accessible and less fatiguing.
Fosters Focus & Attention in a Child-Friendly Way
Small, controlled movements can help many learners sustain attention. Flexible seating gives children a safe way to fidget, wiggle, or shift, supporting focus without stress or constant reminders to “sit still.” These tools are especially useful for neurodivergent learners, including autistic children and children with ADHD or sensory processing differences, but can benefit any child who learns best when movement is part of the process.
Offering a variety of seating choices helps classrooms and learning spaces feel welcoming, inclusive, and neurodiversity-affirming. Flexible seating allows each learner to choose what works best for their body, whether that’s a balance cushion for gentle movement, a therapy ball for active sitting, or a wedge cushion for extra postural support.
Encourages Self-Awareness & Autonomy
When children can notice what their bodies need and select the seat that feels right for them, they practise self-awareness and develop regulation skills. Choosing between options such as a sit-and-twist cushion, spinning chair, or balance board empowers learners to take ownership of their comfort and focus in a way that supports both wellbeing and participation.
