Rifton Compass Chair

The Rifton Compass Chair is ideal for promoting diversity, and suitable for use both inside the classroom, and at home. It allows people who are living with a disability or impairment to feel safe, comfortable and engaged, and it has a basic and elegant design that fits into any setting.

It has a curved seat, high armrests that are ideal for added support, as well as lateral thigh support – all of which help to establish boundaries on a sensory level. With ultimate stability, particularly in the feet, this chair is particularly suited to people who are prone to tipping their chair. The chair allows those with vestibular or tactile hyposensitivity to engage in movement that adheres to their sensory-seeking behaviour, with the chair built and tested to resist rocking motions.
