Tactile Wriggle Cushion – Active Seating for Focus, Movement & Participation

The Tactile Wriggle Cushion is a versatile active seating and balance cushion designed to support comfortable seated movement, focus, concentration and participation during learning, therapy, work and everyday activities.

Featuring dual textured surfaces, the Tactile Wriggle Cushion provides tactile input while encouraging subtle movement and balance adjustments when seated. This makes it a practical option for individuals who benefit from movement opportunities while remaining seated.

The cushion is available in two sizes to accommodate different seating preferences and requirements: Blue at 33cm diameter and Green at 38cm diameter. Its adjustable inflation allows the firmness to be modified using the included hand pump, helping users find a level of support that suits their comfort and activity needs.

Designed to support users up to 250kg, the Tactile Wriggle Cushion can be incorporated into classrooms, occupational therapy settings, home learning environments, workplaces, community programs and other seating situations where active sitting may support participation.

Rather than requiring a separate movement break, the cushion allows subtle movement to be incorporated into seated activities. It may be useful for individuals who experience restlessness, benefit from tactile input, or find controlled movement helpful when concentrating on a task.

Occupational therapists and other allied health professionals may consider the Tactile Wriggle Cushion as part of an individualised approach to seating, postural control, movement and participation. It can also be used alongside broader strategies designed to support functional participation and comfortable engagement.

For NDIS participants, suitability and funding should be considered in relation to the individual's goals, functional requirements, support needs and current NDIS funding criteria.
