Southpaw's Glider Bolsters are highly recommended for use in schools and clinics. These sensory integration bolsters are designed to provide numerous physical benefits that can help with a wide range of developmental challenges.
One of the key benefits of the Glider Bolsters is their ability to accommodate larger or more involved clients in all developmental positions. This is especially important for children who may have postural insecurity or difficulty with balance. The swing offers stability, allowing clients to feel safe and secure while they explore movement and play.
The Glider Bolsters can be hung from two or four points, and moved in smooth arcs or gently rocked depending on the need. This versatility allows therapists to create a customised sensory experience for each client. Additionally, the heavily padded, vinyl-covered base on either side provides two different levels of foam padding to increase client comfort.
Another great feature of the Glider Bolsters is their ability to encourage social interaction. The swing can easily accommodate several clients during an activity, making it an ideal choice for group therapy sessions. This can help children develop important social skills like communication, cooperation, and empathy.
The Glider Bolsters are also incredibly strong, with a working load of up to 180kg. This means that therapists can ride with clients and provide hands-on facilitation as needed. This is particularly useful for children who may have difficulty with motor planning or body awareness.
The Southpaw Glider Bolsters are an excellent choice for anyone looking to incorporate sensory integration into their therapy practice. They offer numerous physical benefits and can be used in a variety of settings, including schools and clinics. So if you're looking for a high-quality sensory integration product, look no further than Southpaw's Glider Bolsters.

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.
