Investing in flexible furniture that is comfortable, promotes collaboration, flexibility and movement can reduce the amount of disruptive behaviour and help increase your students' performance. Here’s how ergonomic, flexible school furniture can benefit your students.
Studies have shown that students who are able to move around while sitting are more attentive in class. When kids are free to fidget and move whilst they're learning, they are expending their energy slowly throughout the day which will prevent them from growing restless and distracted.
For those students with attention deficit disorders, flexible furniture can be particularly beneficial with studies revealing that enabling fidgeting in students with ADHD are actually stimulating their brain which improves their cognitive function, allowing them to better retain information.
Using flexible furniture like wobble stools, exercise balls and sit/stand desks encourage movement and can all improve a student’s focus and aid in processing information.

By aligning your interactive teaching method with the appropriate flexible furniture like adjustable desks or flexible stools, you are effectively facilitating an active learning classroom that maximises the academic potential of your students, and improves their overall academic performance.
Genuine flexible furniture understands the importance of ergonomics in school furniture. Ergonomically height adjustable school furniture is known to improve student performance. The more tailored desk or chair is to a student, the more comfortable and productive a student will be – that’s ergonomics.
