The Pod Swing Nook, also known as a cocoon swing, is a calming and versatile sensory space that supports both active play and quiet time. Whether children are swinging, spinning, reading, or simply relaxing, this swing adapts to a range of developmental and sensory needs. Hang it from one suspension point for 360° motion to encourage climbing, balance, and muscle development, or from two points to create a soothing, gently swaying nook. It’s widely used by occupational therapists and educators, particularly in sensory rooms, classrooms, and outdoor play areas. Crafted from waterproof terylene with a soft polyester filling, this swing is easy to clean and suitable for both indoor and outdoor settings. With a cocoon-like design that provides gentle pressure and movement, the Pod Swing Nook is especially comforting for children with autism or sensory processing challenges. Please note: the hanging strap is not included and must be purchased separately based on your installation needs. An optional extension strap is available for purchase once the swing is installed.
