Frequently Asked Questions
What is the P Pod seating system?
The P Pod is a specialist indoor seating system that combines a custom-moulded seat with a conventional beanbag-style base. The “P” stands for postural, reflecting its focus on supporting people who need additional help maintaining a comfortable, supported sitting position. Unlike a standard beanbag, the P Pod incorporates dedicated postural support technology and is designed to accommodate complex seating needs in home and day-care environments.
Who can benefit from using a P Pod?
The P Pod is designed for children and adults with disabilities who require additional postural support when sitting. It can be particularly useful for people who find it difficult to maintain a stable sitting position independently or who need a supportive alternative to conventional seating. Its adaptable design allows it to accommodate different positioning requirements, with the appropriate size and configuration selected according to the user’s needs.
How does the P Pod provide postural support?
The P Pod combines three main components: a moulded seat, a bolster support and a beanbag-style base. Together, these components provide a supportive seating environment that can accommodate the user’s body shape and positioning needs. The design allows changes in sitting position while maintaining support, making it a practical option for people who require specialist seating during everyday activities at home or in day-care settings.
What accessories are available for the P Pod?
A range of accessories is available to adapt the P Pod to individual requirements. Options include a mobile base to move the seat around indoors, a powered tilt mechanism, a growth liner, a free-standing tray, a flip-over headrest and an adjustable foot bolster. An activity frame is also available to support play and activity-based use. Accessory suitability depends on the user’s needs and the chosen P Pod configuration.
Is the P Pod suitable for use at home, and is it easy to clean?
Yes. The P Pod was developed to provide specialist postural support in domestic and day-care environments where larger pieces of rehabilitation equipment may be difficult to accommodate. Its lightweight design makes it easier to handle around the home, while the quilted stretch-velour covers are available in a range of colours and can be removed for cleaning. A mobile base can also be considered for larger P Pod configurations where moving the seat between rooms is helpful.
