This Therapy Pod Sensory Swing with Steel Hammock Chair Stand is made from a special material - waterproof oxford polyester. This sets it apart from regular cotton sensory swings, allowing it to be used outside without moisture damage.
Why is Therapy Sensory Swing with Hammock Chair Stand this one so popular?
It is popular with both kids with autism and occupational therapists for its soothing effect. The stand makes it very convenient to set up, without the need to install anything in the roof. If you want to use the swing outside, you'll only need a tree strap or rope - the material is suitable for outdoors, and the water resistance also makes it easier to wipe down and clean.
Some children like to add a soft blanket around the outside of the seat. This makes the seat warmer and flatter.
Provides a fun and comfortable experience
The 100% cotton canvas material is very soothing, warm, and breathable making it a great choice for comfort when sitting while reading, watching, or playing! It's one of our best-selling and great choice for Occupational Therapists for their clients.
100% safety is our priority
The sensory swing's design with reinforced nylon edgings and double stitched to increase safety, and soft PVC air cushion make you don't worry about mould problems. The swing can support up to 80 kg. It can be easily taken down and stored away at any time to make more room.
Can be set up in an indoor or outdoor setting.
Our Therapy Sensory Swing is great for indoor or outdoor use. Whether you hang it from your ceiling or thinking about hanging it from a tree. Besides, it would make a great addition to a child's room, especially as a reading nook.
Very easy to install
It's easy to hang and with an optional hanging kit, it can be hung to a stand, tree branch, or even mount to your ceiling!
The matched stand is designed for indoor use, so the swing can be used both indoors and outdoors - indoors with the stand, or outdoors with a tree strap.
Not everybody is able to install a screw hook into their roof to hang a sensory swing, so that's where the stand comes in handy. You can set it up in the child's bedroom, play area, verandah, or other area and move it as you please.
The stand is 2.1 m tall, it's easy to assemble, and it comes with additional accessories that let you adjust the hanging height - a chain, carabiner, and S-hook.

How to install a sensory swing?
There are a few ways on how to install your sensory swing indoors:
Connect the hanging screw hook to the ceiling
- Connecting the hanging screw hooks
- Find a joist in your ceiling
It's much better if you have a stud finder tool, so you can easily locate the joist.
What to do if you don't have a stud finder?
A quick tip: Knocking the ceiling. If your knocking sounds solid, then it must be one of your joists. If it's hollow it isn't. Try another direction of your ceiling. Majority of the joists only direct in one direction.
Now you've located the joist, you can start to locate anywhere from those joists you're planning to hang the sensory swing seat at.
3. Installing your sensory swing
Equipment you need:
4. Draw the hole location
- Use the ceiling hanging kit to measure where you can drill the holes. Mark its holes with a pencil.
Please note: The majority of the joists are in different sizes, so some are not wide enough to drill those four bolts.
Solution: Drill at least 2 blots along the joist. Sometimes, two bolts will be enough to support the seat.
- Using the drill, drill into the joist where the pencil markings are. Drill each hole.
- Clean out the drill using a vacuum, brush, or blowing into the bits. Always use a protective face shield, sunglasses to protect your eyes and not get dust in them.
- Insert the hook into the hole and screw the bolts through the ceiling hook.
- Tighten all the bolts using a screwdriver.
- Connect the carabiner to the sensory swing hook that’s already installed.
- If it’s too high from the ground, you can use a hanging chain kit to extend the seat lower to the floor.
