Think Outside the Box with Flexible Seating
They're in every classroom: squirmy sitters, kids who find traditional, rigid chairs painful or constricting. The struggle to find a comfortable position can hinder their concentration and even distract others. Physical activity is essential for children's minds to thrive, but it can be difficult to translate healthy movement from the court to the classroom.

The solution might be as simple as swapping out the hard seating for something a little more flexible.

Wiggle Room

Students and teachers have reported that "flexible seating" improves attention spans and willingness to learn. A padded rocking stool encourages students to move while reading or working out a difficult problem. A ball chair allows them to bounce lightly in place. Wobble stools let students readjust their weight without risk of tipping over.

These simple, repetitive motions can help children dispel excess energy that would otherwise manifest in doodling on desks or whispering to their friends. The classroom floor is lava and flexible seating can be you and your student's savior!

Get Cozy

When they're sitting for an average of 4.5 hours every day, you want to make sure your students are comfortable. Save room with multi-tiered soft seating that students can lounge on during study time.  This stadium style seating can be configured in large or small spaces. Add to classroom corners as a reading nook or install them in a library as a touchdown space. Tiered soft seating from Marco Group Tiered soft seating from Marco Group

Mixing and Matching Collaborative Desks and Soft Seating

Sometimes desks are a necessity, but they don't need to be uncomfortable. Choose soft seating around a coollaborative worksurface. Mixing and matching collaborative desks and soft seating is a great way to ensure your classroom dynamic is healthy and conducive to learning.
