Did you know bean-bag–style seating isn’t just for comfort… it can also provide meaningful sensory support?
In this photo, you’ll see the Protac SenSit®, a sense-stimulating easy chair designed for both children and adults who experience mental or physical unrest.
It uses a mouldable filling of sensory balls throughout the seat, back and side flaps. These balls stimulate touch, muscle and joint position senses, creating calming deep-pressure input and enhancing body awareness.
With its four wrap-around side flaps, the chair gently “hugs” the body, offering a strong sense of safety, grounding and emotional security; something so many adults benefit from, especially mid-week when stress and sensory load start to peak.
This moment was captured at the 2025 OTA Conference in Adelaide, where our Clinical Lead, Belinda, spent time exploring and discussing tools that support regulation and comfort for people of all ages.
And while the Protac SenSit® offers specialised sensory support, it’s also a great reminder that bean bags and soft, adaptive seating can be incredibly calming too.
Sometimes mid-week wellness looks like giving your body a softer place to land, and a moment to unwind.
