Today on the Willowbrook Blog we are talking about all things comfy!

Flexible and comfy seating has now become a trend in educational settings, and with students sitting for up to 7 hours, it is important for them to be comfy. Allowing the children to sit comfortably will reduce the amount of effort and energy wasted trying to stay upright, this means that the children you’re teaching will find it easier to carry out activities.

Here are 5 benefits as to why comfy seating would benefit your classroom…

Development

Not only can comfy seating benefit the children’s learning in the classroom, but it can also allow for further development of postural control, increasing independence. A comfier, more upright position can improve head control, eye contact communication and social skills.

Improved Learning

When a child is in a classroom that they love and enjoy, their learning will improve. A child with a relaxed mind learns better. So, if you’re wanting to improve the concentration and learning levels in your classroom, look at their surroundings… what could you change or add?
