OrbitSeat™ Sensory Spin Chair

As a pediatric occupational therapist, I’ve worked with dozens of kids who crave vestibular input. Spinning is often the most regulating activity for them since it helps calm the nervous system and improve body awareness. This chair offers the kind of rotational input I typically only see in clinic-grade equipment, but it’s compact, sturdy, and affordable for home use. I’ve recommended it to several families, and the feedback has been incredible. One parent told me her son now spins before dinner instead of melting down. Tools like this give families the power to carry over therapeutic gains at home, which is everything.

My 5-year-old son has autism and struggles with frequent meltdowns that leave us both drained. We’ve tried weighted blankets, chewy necklaces, noise-canceling headphones… nothing could ever stop the spiral once it started. But this? Within seconds of getting in the chair and spinning, I could see his body relax. It’s like it gives him back control. It's a bit embarrassing, but when he stopped screaming and hitting, I cried. Not from sadness, but from relief. This chair didn’t just help him regulate...it gave me peace of mind again.

My daughter is 7, has ADHD and sensory processing disorder, and is in constant motion. We homeschool, and keeping her on task used to feel impossible. She would literally bounce between subjects, sometimes under the table, because she just couldn’t sit still. Now we start each lesson with 3 minutes of spin time. It sounds silly, but the difference is night and day. She sits longer. She listens better. And more importantly, she enjoys learning again. It’s not a magic fix, but it’s the closest thing we’ve found.
