Sensory Wedge Cushion

A Wedge Cushion is an air-filled cushion that when sat on tilts the pelvis forward slightly, enhancing the inward curve of the lower back and encouraging the user to sit more upright.

This encouragement to sit properly and correctly, reduces strain on the body’s joints and ligaments which in turn helps the proprioceptive sense (sense of body awareness). By improving posture and encouraging “active” sitting with a wedge cushion, children can sit and stay focused for longer, as body awareness is improved & the need to fidget reduced.

A wedge cushion can be beneficial to children who shift around or rock in their seat.

The cushion can be inflated as much or as little as required so the child can sit comfortably.   We don’t recommend over inflating as this causes a bulge and the cushion loses it wedge shape.    This can make it uncomfortable to sit on (thus reducing its effectiveness) and may cause the valve stopper to fly out if the cushion is sat on with force.  The cushion should just be partially inflated so it retains it wedge shape when sat on.

The wedge cushion has raised dimples on the surface for tactile input – or can be turned over if this is not required.   Wedge cushions are normally used on a chair, such as a classroom or dining room chair.

This cushion is PVC Free, non-allergic and non-toxic.
