Wobble Cushion - Junior
This Wobble Cushion is 30cm diameter and has a maximum weight of 200kg/32 stone
What is a wobble cushion?:
Wobble cushions (sometimes called disc cushions or instability cushions) are small round inflatable cushions, strong enough to sit or stand on. They are designed to offer the user a seat that can improve their posture and help with reducing the need to fidgeting or perform repetitive actions by creating "active sitting". It can also use whilst stood on to build core strength and practise balance.
How does it work?:
- If the user sits on the cushion they will instantly become unstable (they will wobble!) and are encouraged to engage their back and core muscles.
- Ideal for encouraging 'active sitting' for children and can be particularly effective for kids with ADHD.
- Sitting on a wobble cushion is similar to sitting on a therapy ball – only smaller, portable and more convenient.
- The instability engages the core muscles improving posture and core stability.
- The wobble effect makes sensory seeking user focus on how they sit, reducing fidgeting and helping to improve focus on the task in hand.
- The cushion can be used on a chair or on the floor.
- They are strong enough to be stood on to build core strength and practise balance.
Inflating the cushion:
They have a small valve in the back so the cushion can easily be inflated by blowing directly into the valve (they don’t take much to blow up) or using a bike pump or any other type of pump. The cushion can be inflated as much or as little as required.
Tip!: Don’t over inflate the cushion – it requires just enough air to make it wobble when you sit or stand on it.

Good to know:
- Measures 30cm diameter.
- Made from flexible PVC free & latex free material.
- On one side there is an anti-slip surface while on the other side there are tiny bumps that are designed to stimulate sensory receptors.
- Wobble cushions are not meant to be too comfortable!
- They are meant to be unstable and slightly uncomfortable to make sitting down a physical exercise – they will never be as comfortable as slouching!
- Sitting on a wobble cushion engages the core muscles helping to improve core stability – so it is effectively an exercise.
- It is recommended that the cushion is not sat on all day – about ½ hour at a time is long enough. Put it to one side for a while and then use it again at regular intervals throughout the day.
- The cushion can also be great fun to stand on to build muscle tone and help balance and concentration. Stand on both legs, one leg, make a tree shape etc…..be creative and have fun!

Our Story
When my son was born with autism, my world changed and Sensory Direct was born
Ethan had been prescribed different forms of medication, and although they helped a little, I didn’t want to become reliant upon them, so Ethan’s Paediatric Consultant suggested a Weighted Blanket. I remember hearing this and thinking ‘what on earth is a Weighted Blanket’? At this stage I was blissfully unaware of how life changing that Weighted Blanket would become.
