Create a more comfortable, flexible and sensory-aware environment with Grass Padding, a purpose-designed compliment to the Aalto Storage Ottoman Base

Measuring 110cm x 60cm, Grass Padding adds a comfortable cushioned surface while introducing a distinctive faux grass texture. The tactile finish can contribute to sensory variety within classrooms, libraries, breakout areas, sensory spaces and other inclusive environments where individuals may benefit from having different textures and seating experiences available.

Designed specifically to complement the Aalto Storage Ottoman Base, the padding attaches using a hook-and-loop fastening system to help keep it securely positioned during use. This creates a practical seating or relaxation surface that can be incorporated into flexible learning and shared environments.

The upholstered construction can also contribute to the acoustic qualities of a space by helping absorb some sound, making it a useful addition to environments where managing background noise and creating a more comfortable atmosphere is important.

For schools and education settings, Grass Padding can support flexible learning by creating an inviting space for reading, quiet activities, small-group interaction or independent work. In allied health and occupational therapy environments, it can be incorporated into sensory-friendly spaces where access to different textures and seating options supports individual choice and engagement.

The nature-inspired faux grass finish provides visual and tactile interest without compromising the professional appearance of the environment. It can work particularly well in libraries, collaborative learning areas, reception spaces and contemporary sensory environments.

Grass Padding is designed for indoor professional and educational environments and is made for use with the compatible Aalto Storage Ottoman Base. It is not a standalone ottoman or seating base.

Why Choose This Product

Grass Padding provides a practical way to combine comfort, sensory variety and flexible space design in education, allied health, community and professional environments.

Rather than simply adding another conventional upholstered surface, the tactile faux grass finish introduces an additional sensory element that can support environments where individuals are offered meaningful choices about how and where they engage.

For educators, this can contribute to flexible classrooms and breakout areas that support different learning needs. For OTs and allied health professionals, it can become part of a thoughtfully designed sensory environment where texture, comfort and environmental choice are considered alongside functional participation.

The secure hook-and-loop attachment also makes Grass Padding a purpose-built addition to the compatible Aalto Storage Ottoman Base, providing a coordinated seating solution rather than a loose or improvised cushion.

For schools, libraries, clinics and community environments looking to create inclusive, comfortable and contemporary spaces, Grass Padding offers a distinctive sensory feature with practical everyday functionality.
