Shop sensory swings in Australia for every age and space. Our range covers indoor and outdoor swings. You can hang them from the ceiling or set them up on a freestanding stand.
Choose from stretchy wrap swings, enclosed pods, adult nest swings and full stand sets. Compare the styles below to find the right fit for the person using it.
Each style feels different. Enclosed swings wrap around the body for deep pressure and calm. Open seats and nests give more room to move, which adds vestibular input (the sense of balance and motion). Stand sets suit homes without a strong ceiling beam.
Which Type of Swing Suits Your Needs?
Wrap Swings
Wrap swings use soft, stretchy fabric that hugs the body. They give gentle movement and deep pressure, and they fit small indoor spaces. Many families hang a wrap swing from the ceiling as an autism swing. It works well in a bedroom or calm-down corner.
Pod Swings
A pod swing is a stable seat that wraps partway around the user. It fits easily in a bedroom, playroom or therapy room. The kids pod swing is the most popular size, and larger pods suit teens. Browse our pod swings.
Nest Swings & Larger Seats
A nest swing has an open seat with room to sit or lie down. Larger adult nest swings work well in the backyard. They make a great outdoor sensory swing the whole family can share.
Swings with Stands
No ceiling beam? A freestanding frame needs no drilling. You can set it up indoors or outdoors, so it suits renters too. Browse our sensory swing with stand sets.
Frames & Hanging Hardware
Already have a swing? Hang it safely with our swing frames, ceiling mount kits and swivels & carabiners.
How to Choose the Right Sensory Swing
Start with who will use it. Our range covers babies through to adults. Then match the swing style to their needs and your space. Before you order, check the product page for the weight limit, seat style and setup.
| What to Check | Why It Matters | Our Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Age & Weight Limit | Safety comes first. OTs (occupational therapists) say to check the weight limit for older kids, teens and adults. | Our adult sensory swing range holds up to 150kg. Check the rating on each product. |
| Fabric | Each fabric feels very different on the body. |
Lycra/Nylon: Stretchy, with a firm hug (deep pressure). Cotton/Canvas: Soft and steady. Great for reading or rest. |
| Indoor or Outdoor | Sun and rain wear out fabric and hardware faster. |
Indoor: A ceiling mount or compact stand. Outdoor: Weather-resistant fabric and a strong frame. Bring the fabric inside when not in use. |
| Therapy Goal | Each swing suits a different goal, such as calming, movement or motor skills. |
Wrap swings: Spinning and movement (vestibular input). Pods: Calming down and managing big feelings. |
Setup & Safety Tips
A safe install keeps the user safe. Read our guide on how to install a sensory swing and avoid common mistakes. Then follow these simple rules:
- Use a solid fixing point: Fix ceiling hooks into a solid timber beam, joist or concrete ceiling. Never fix them to plasterboard alone.
- Add a swivel for spinning: If the swing will spin, you must use a heavy-duty swivel. A fixed hook will wear out the fabric and hardware.
- Leave clear space: Keep space around the swing so it can't hit walls or furniture.
- Check it often: Look for wear on the fabric, stitching, carabiners and fixing points.
- Stay close: Always supervise children and anyone who needs support while swinging.
- Disclaimer: You are responsible for installing your swing. If you're unsure, hire a qualified handyperson. This is not medical advice. Talk to an OT when choosing a swing for disability or therapy use.
NDIS Funding & Support
Many customers claim an NDIS sensory swing under “Consumables” or “Low Cost Assistive Technology.” Your funding depends on your plan. The swing must also meet the NDIS “reasonable and necessary” rules.

How to install a sensory swing?
There are a few ways on how to install your sensory swing indoors:
Connect the hanging screw hook to the ceiling
- Connecting the hanging screw hooks
- Find a joist in your ceiling
- Installing your sensory swing
Equipment you need:
Drill
Pencil
Drill Bit
4.Draw the hole location
- Use the ceiling hanging kit to measure where you can drill the holes. Mark its holes with a pencil.
- Please note: The majority of the joists are in different sizes, so some are not wide enough to drill those four bolts.
Solution: Drill at least 2 blots along the joist. Sometimes, two bolts will be enough to support the seat.
Using the drill, drill into the joist where the pencil markings are. Drill each hole. - Clean out the drill using a vacuum, brush, or blowing into the bits. Always use a protective face shield, sunglasses to protect your eyes and not get dust in them.
- Insert the hook into the hole and screw the bolts through the ceiling hook.
- Tighten all the bolts using a screwdriver.
- Connect the carabiner to the sensory swing hook that’s already installed.
- If it’s too high from the ground, you can use a hanging chain kit to extend the seat lower to the floor.
Are sensory swings safe?
Before your child/children use the swing, pull it down as hard as you can to ensure that it’s installed correctly and can carry your child, if there’s no issue, let your child play away!

Hanging Safety Instructions
- An ideal safety precaution for hanging sensory swing is to put a mat under the sensory swing in case the child falls so it'll not result in any serious injury to the user.
- It's a must that the distance from the ground should not be more than 35 cm.
- All sensory swings are ideal for gentle swinging only and not for strong swinging.
- Always keep the area from where the sensory swing is installed free from dangerous objects such as toys on the ground, or any other object that might cause tripped over, or a nearby object that can bump the sensory swing.
- Requires adult supervision.
Additional information for adults to instruct children to:
- Dress appropriately while using the swing
- Avoid ponchos, scarves, and any loose-fitting clothing that are potentially hazardous
- Ask your child to sit in the centre with full weight when swinging alone.
Additional important information for adults to instruct children NOT to:
- Walk close to, in front of, behind, or between moving items.
- Get on/off the swing while it's still in motion
- Attach any hard objects or items to the swing.
Do Sensory swing work?
Yes, sensory swings can be very effective. They help calm the body and mind, improve balance and coordination, and support emotional regulation . Many parents and therapists find them helpful for children with sensory processing challenges, including autism and ADHD .
What is the difference between a therapy wrap swing and a pod swing?
A therapy wrap swing is usually made of stretchy fabric (like nylon/lycra) that provides deep pressure therapy and allows for bouncing and spinning. A pod swing is typically made of cotton or canvas, offering a stable, semi-enclosed space perfect for reading and calming down.
What should I choose if I do not have a hanging point in my ceiling?
If drilling into the ceiling isn't an option, start with a Sensory Swing with a Stand, or browse our standalone frames before choosing your swing.
Do these swings come with installation hardware?
Most of our swings include basic hanging hardware (like ropes and carabiners), but specific ceiling mounts (like concrete bolts or wood screws) may need to be purchased separately depending on your home's ceiling type. Always check the individual product description for exactly what is in the box.
Which options are suitable for adults?
Adult suitability depends entirely on the individual product’s physical size and weight capacity. Please compare each listing carefully rather than assuming the whole range is adult-rated. To make it easier, you can browse our dedicated Adult Sensory Swings category.

Comfortable cushion, great service!
I ordered a new cushion for my very old and tired egg chair. I was delighted the cushion turned up in only 3 or 4 days, and it looks great. Perfect timing for spring - I can now retire to my comfortable chair with my book in the sunshine. Very pleased!
