The Snooza Chair

Providing a sanctuary space and sensory experience for individuals with seizures, cognitive impairments, increased tactile sensitivity, low or high muscle tone, muscle spasms, or reduced postural stability, to name a few.

The Snooza Chair is a game-changer for those seeking a soft seating solution. Whether the goal is behavioral change, relaxation, social inclusion, or helping the user maintain a safe mid-line position, the Snooza delivers it all.

This all-foam chair harnesses gravity to naturally create a safe, comfortable, and supportive postural management environment for the user. Its modular design, lightweight build, and fun aesthetic make it ideal for use in homes, schools, special educational needs facilities, and other environments.

Caregivers love it too! When the user is content, it often makes the difference between completing daily tasks or catching a much-needed break and not.

The Snooza Chair is the result of careful listening to what caregivers and users want: inclusive seating that feels like a "hug," is colorful, super light, robust, extremely comfortable, compact, functional, modular, inviting, and equipped with exceptional posture control. Available in six vibrant colors and four sizes, the Snooza Chair is as customizable as it is practical.
