Children with Autism Helped by New Adaptive Furniture Options from Comfy Sacks

Parents know that their home presents some real practical challenges for their autistic children. But investing in the right furniture, like the foam-filled chairs and loungers from Comfy Sacks, can make all the difference.

St. Louis, MO, November 19, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Autism is the fastest-growing serious developmental disability in the nation, with more children diagnosed in 2011 than cancer and diabetes combined. Why the condition is increasing in occurrence isn't known, but as this number grows there are many more parents now searching for solutions to help their autistic children feel more comfortable in their home environment.

Repetitive fidgeting, rocking, slouching, sliding off the chair, the inability to find contentment or sleep in a standard bed are typical autistic behaviors. This makes most traditional household furniture impractical. Thankfully parents are learning that simply investing in the right home furnishings can make a big difference.

Adaptive furniture is about using different shapes, sizes and materials than regular furniture to accommodate those with special needs. It can also lead to happier autistic children, because their homes have become a more comfortable place to be.

The latest adaptive furniture options to address autism needs are large, foam-filled “bean bag” style chairs now offered by Comfysacks.com. The foam conforms to a person’s body, which can have strong calming effect and create feelings of security for those with autism. "It can provide the right surroundings for autistic children to play, read, watch television or sleep in total comfort," said Comfy Sacks owner Tyler Shearburn.

Though these furnishings are perfect for autistic children, they've become quite popular with other children and adults of all ages. Many dorm rooms, urban lofts, home theaters, schools, libraries, and even corporate headquarters like Apple and Amazon now feature Comfy Sacks.

But the company might be most proud of the benefits their furniture provides to autistic children.

One customer recently reported that her autistic son immediately fell in love with his new chair, sleeping on it the very first night. “It's created peace of mind for our entire family," she said. "It feels good to be part of the solution," added Shearburn.

Comfy Sacks is an industry leader in the field of adaptive furniture that can help children with special needs. For more information contact owner Tyler Shearburn directly by phone at: 877-884-3826 or via email at adaptivefurniture@comfysacks.com.
