Bean Bag Furniture And Autistic Children


Therapists that work with autistic children recommend different types of therapy that involve exposing children to different textures and levels of pressure on the body. Sensory integration therapy helps autistic children learn how to manage sensory input, and deep pressure therapy provides stimulation to the nervous system that helps them calm themselves and focus. Many occupational therapists recommend beanbag furniture as a part of sensory integration and deep pressure therapy with children.

There are many benefits to beanbag furniture for sensory integration therapy. The unique soft, squishy texture of beanbag chairs, pillows and loungers allows children with autism to learn about texture. Children can toss small bean bags, carry medium sized bags around, hug them, or simply flop onto a large beanbag chair to feel the texture all over their body. The experience of the softness of beanbag chairs can also be very calming and relaxing.

Beanbag furniture is the perfect product to provide safe and therapeutic deep pressure for autistic children. With deep pressure therapy, children need to feel pressure on their bodies to stimulate their nervous system. This stimulation allows the child to relax and focus. Since this furniture is filled with shredded foam, children can safely flop onto it or be squished in between two beanbag chairs. The shredded foam provides pressure but is soft enough not to harm the child.

As well as helping autistic children experience textures and pressure, beanbags also offer benefits to parents and therapists. Many beanbag furniture companies offer many different sizes and colors at low prices. Parents can choose from pillows, bag chairs small enough for one child or large enough for several people, as well as many different color options for covers. Many autistic children love one color or texture, so the choice offered by bean bag furniture companies can make buying bean bags for autistic children easy.

Parents and therapists of autistic children can also benefit from the portability and easy cleanup offered by beanbag furniture. A play or therapy area filled with bean bags is easy to rearrange, and most beanbag furniture is light enough to be easily picked up and stored when not in use. Beanbag furniture also comes in covers made from space-age fabrics that can be easily wiped off with a sponge or tossed in the washing machine.

Another great benefit of beanbag furniture to parents and therapists of autistic children is saving money. Not only are most beanbag chairs very affordable, they can be considered tax deductions because they are being used as therapy tools.




With the many features and benefits of a bean bag, buying one which provides the comfort and affordability necessary to meet your needs is crucial. Comfy Sacks has bean bags in a wide variety of sizes and colors. Instead of being filled with beans, they are filled with a proprietary blend of shredded polyurethane foam. This guarantees that it will be soft, and durable for years to come.
