The SupaCush is the ideal pneumatic pressure relief cushion for those who suffer with intense pain from prolonged sitting.

The SupaCush is inflatable, this allows you to adjust the amount of air in the cushion so that it is exactly to your comfort.

Air-filled products like the SupaCush are far superior to their memory foam counterparts, as when pressure is applied, the cushion supplies counter pressure to other areas. This results in the pressure on each point being equal – providing maximum comfort.

The SupaCush is also lightweight and portable. You can use it on your wheelchair, in your car, on long flights and much more.

The design of the SupaCush prevents overheating and adapts well to any seat curvature. The rectangular multi-tube design helps provide stability together with padded comfort.

The front and back edges are ergonomically sculpted with shaped inflated rolls, to maximise comfort to the thighs.

The SupaCush is very versatile, and can be used for more than just a bottom cushion. With the central slot positioned vertically and the two outer rolls underneath, your face will be fully supported when the the SupaCush is used as a massage cushion. You can also turn the lower roll up to create a wedge shape – this is great for use as a back support.

Fidgetbum – weighted blanket alternative

  • Sleeping aid for children with sensory processing disorder – recommended by Occupational Therapists
  • Superior alternative to a weighted blanket
  • Made out of a high quality, thin four-way stretched cotton fabric
  • Lightweight and breathable
  • Helps your child sleep better and longer at night
  • When zipped-up, the fidgetbum applies a gentle pressure that calms and makes your child feel secure
  • Feels like a nice, reassuring, warm hug
  • Easily foldable for travelling or sleepovers

  • When not in use, the ends of the fidgetbum sit neatly under the covers allowing your child to enjoy their favourite bedding.
  • 95% cotton and 5% Spandex
  • Machine washable and suitable for tumble driers

The fidgetbum compression blanket aids sensory children to sleep longer and better at night, making them happier and more playful in the day.

It works by applying a gentle pressure to your child that simulates the feeling of a nice, warm, secure hug. This reassures, calms and comforts your child as they sleep.

Many fidgetbum customers claim to have been able to fully replace the use of Melatonin and other medications directly as a result of the fidgetbum.

Ideal for children with autism and related sensory processing disorders who find it difficult to acclimatise to sleep at night – the pressure applied across the whole of the body and skin brings positive proprioceptive input needed to give the child a sense of where they are and how their body lies/is positioned during sleep.

The fidgetbum comes in a wide range of sizes to fit children of all sizes and adults – including all different sizes of bed.
