Whether as a cozy seating area, gentle shock absorber while balancing, or colorful accent in the room: The pad brings even more comfort and playfulness out of every Stapelstein.
Why is dynamic sitting important?
Children sit a lot today – but often too still.
The Base brings movement back into everyday life – naturally, through small, playful micro-movements while sitting.
This strengthens posture, attention, and self-regulation – scientifically proven, practically implemented.
Sitting ≠ Being still
Children spend today > 8 hours daily sitting – often motionless. Rigidly staying in one position strains the spine, metabolism & attention.
More health
The curved Base activates 360° micro-movements. Studies show: Dynamic sitting reduces intervertebral disc pressure & prevents back pain.
More focus
Just a few centimeters of rocking increase concentration and keep the brain more alert than rigid sitting.
Self-regulation & fun
Rhythmic movements help reduce nervousness and organize sensory perception – ideal for school, home office & therapy.
