The TFH Bouncing Chair does something simple chairs cannot: it moves with the child. Every shift of weight, every subtle lean forward or back, sets the chair in motion - and once moving, kinetic energy keeps the gentle bounce going until the child needs to re-engage to continue. That perpetual interplay between child and chair is not just fun. It is, for many children and young people across North America, one of the most effective ways to stay regulated, focused, and comfortable throughout the day.

Available in four sizes from The Sensory Supply, the TFH Bouncing Chair is designed for children from early childhood through to approximately nine years of age, and sized to grow with them.

Key Features of the TFH Bouncing Chair

• Perpetual Motion Bouncing Mechanism - The chair responds to every shift in the child's weight so that kinetic energy sustains the bouncing motion, encouraging continuous active engagement without caregiver assistance and reinforcing cause-and-effect understanding through movement
• Vestibular and Proprioceptive Input - The rhythmic bouncing motion stimulates the vestibular system and delivers proprioceptive feedback simultaneously, supporting sensory integration, body awareness, and self-regulation throughout the activity
• Four Sizes Across Two Frame Types - Small (Light Blue), Medium (Dark Blue), Large (Red), and Large & Deep (Green) allow accurate sizing by the child's weight, height, and seat depth requirements so the chair fits correctly and functions as designed
• Colour-Coded Cover System - Each size has a distinct colour to make identification simple in multi-user environments such as therapy clinics, schools, and sensory rooms
• Deluxe Harness Included - Every chair ships with a deluxe harness to secure the child during use, supporting safe and confident bouncing for children who need additional postural stability
• Sturdy, Durable Construction - Built to withstand active daily use in both home and institutional settings, with robust materials selected for longevity in high-use therapy and classroom environments
• Replacement Covers Available Separately - Covers can be replaced independently, extending the product's lifespan and maintaining hygiene standards in clinical and school settings
• TFH Compatibility - Compatible with TFH labelled products, items, and accessories only, ensuring quality and safety standards are maintained throughout the product's use

Vestibular Input, Sensory Regulation & Sustained Attention

The vestibular system governs balance, spatial orientation, and the body's response to movement. For children who seek vestibular input - those who habitually fidget, rock, seek extra movement, or find it difficult to remain still - a chair that provides gentle, sustained movement throughout seated activities can make a significant difference to their ability to concentrate and self-regulate. Rather than fighting the urge to move, the TFH Bouncing Chair channels it productively.

The rhythmic, repetitive nature of bouncing also serves a calming function. Gentle, low-amplitude movement has a well-established settling effect on the nervous system, and many children find the continuous bounce soothing during transitions, sensory breaks, or quiet activities such as reading. The chair works whether the child is actively generating the bounce or simply sitting still and benefiting from residual motion.

For occupational therapists building sensory diets, the TFH Bouncing Chair offers a functional way to incorporate both vestibular and proprioceptive input into a seated activity rather than requiring a separate movement break. It is equally at home in a sensory room, a calm corner, a classroom reading nook, or a living room.

Sizing Guide for the TFH Bouncing Chair

Selecting the correct size is important - the head is the heaviest part of the body and has the most leverage in the chair, so fitting by weight and height rather than age alone is recommended.

• Small (Light Blue) - for children weighing approximately 16-20 kg; recommended up to age 6
• Medium (Dark Blue) - for children weighing approximately 20-25 kg; recommended up to age 6
• Large (Red) - for children weighing approximately 25-30 kg; recommended up to age 9
• Large & Deep (Green) - for children weighing approximately 25-30 kg; recommended up to age 9; greater seat depth for additional postural support

Ideal for

• Children who benefit from vestibular and proprioceptive input as part of their sensory diet
• Children who seek movement during seated activities or find stillness challenging
• Occupational therapists incorporating active seating into sensory integration programmes
• Classrooms, resource rooms, and calm corners seeking movement-based alternative seating
• Sensory rooms and therapy spaces in schools, clinics, and rehabilitation centres
• Families creating sensory-supportive home environments for children of all abilities
• Children and young people who find rhythmic movement calming and grounding
