The Southpaw Cuddle Swing is an excellent tool for providing deep touch pressure and vestibular stimulation. The swing is made of soft, stretchy nylon mesh and long-lasting Cordura® fabric, which provides a comfortable and supportive environment for individuals to relax and unwind. The swing is available in two sizes, an Adult Cuddle Swing and a Child Cuddle Swing, to accommodate individuals of all ages and abilities.
One of the primary physical benefits of using the Southpaw Cuddle Swing is that it promotes postural flexion. Postural flexion is the ability to maintain a flexed posture, which is essential for proper alignment and stability. By lying in the Cuddle Swing, individuals are encouraged to engage their core muscles and maintain a flexed posture, which can help improve their overall body awareness and stability.
In addition to promoting postural flexion, the Southpaw Cuddle Swing also provides deep touch pressure and vestibular stimulation. Deep touch pressure is a calming and organising input that can help individuals regulate their sensory system and promote a sense of calm. Vestibular stimulation is essential for the development of balance, coordination, and spatial awareness.
The Southpaw Cuddle Swing is particularly useful in schools and clinics because it can be used for a wide range of activities. For example, it can be used to promote relaxation and calmness during sensory breaks or downtime. It can also be used to facilitate postural control and stability during functional activities, such as sitting at a desk or participating in fine motor activities.
Southpaw's Cuddle Swing is an excellent tool for occupational therapists, physical therapists, and educators who work with individuals who have sensory processing difficulties or motor coordination challenges. It's soft and supportive construction, as well as its adjustable working load, make it suitable for individuals of all ages and abilities. Whether you are looking to promote postural control, deep touch pressure, or vestibular stimulation, the Southpaw Cuddle Swing is a versatile and effective tool
that can help you achieve your goals.

If you are looking to have a Southpaw swing installed on a ceiling by anyone other than Southpaw UK engineers - then the installation of forged ceiling eyebolts is your responsibility, and must be to the proper specifications. We always recommend that you have the ceiling tested by a structural engineer to ensure that your ceiling can carry the appropriate working loads. Please read our Safety and Working Loads pages thoroughly. Other elements of safety include the layout of the clinic or therapy space, the implementation of a systematic equipment inspection program, proper matting, and personal protection.
