Flexible and active seating has become more and more common throughout classrooms with benefits including increased productivity, motivation, and engagement among students. Teachers have found that once students became more accustomed to flexible and active seating, which includes standing desks, rockers, swivel stools, and bucket chairs, behavioral issues improved almost immediately, and because students were more comfortable, they had a better attitude toward learning.
Endless Options, Find One (or Two) That’s Perfect for You!
There are countless product options available for flexible seating that allow students the freedom to move in order to improve concentration and ultimately help them learn. Here we highlight a few recently launched products that offer that modern design wow factor while offering teachers a versatile and functional seating option for their student-centered classrooms. For children who thrive in a responsive learning space and environment, interactive stools just might be the perfect solution.
Featuring a modern, sleek bentwood design the Makau Rocking Stool by KFI offers easy mobility and storage.

Similar flexible seating options provide both comfort and storage for students.

Luxor's stackable classroom stool boasts a durable plastic seat with a storage bin for pencils, notebooks, papers, and other classroom items right under the student's seat. There are also wheels on the bottom so they can wheel themselves around the classroom to collaborate with peers.
Adapting to shifts in posture is one of the hallmark design features of the 360 Series Chair by Haskell Education which allows students numerous ways to sit so they're always comfortable, plus select models include book bag racks underneath the seat for easy and accessible storage. These flexible and active seating solutions are great for children of any age who might not always sit in the same spot all day or need to store their book bags in an easy and convenient place.
