About this product

With its supportive seat, sturdy armrests, and stable frame, the new Compass Chair offers mildly involved students the support they need to feel secure and comfortable. At the same time, its simple and elegant construction lets it blend easily into any classroom environment without standing out or feeling clinical.

For teachers and therapists, finding the right adaptive classroom chair can be a challenge. The Rifton Compass Chair is designed to be the perfect inclusion chair—strong enough to provide stability but subtle enough to encourage independence and dignity. It is not just another special needs chair; it is supportive seating that enhances learning, interaction, and participation for children and adults of all ages.

Whether you’re looking for a chair for an autistic child, a student with mild physical needs, or simply a comfortable seating solution that promotes good posture and security, the Compass Chair is a classroom-ready solution that improves focus and confidence.

NEW Rocking chair base: Supports student focus and self-regulation. The rocking chair base provides controlled, rhythmic movement for students who require consistent sensory input to remain regulated in the classroom.
