Designed and invented by a pediatric school-based occupational therapist!
The Hip Hugger Seat Cover (H2SC) was destined with the wiggly student in mind!
Does your child or student have a hard time sitting still in their chair to learn or eat a meal? Often times this child is seeking out sensory input from the surrounding objects nearby, the desk/table, chair legs, floor, other people, etc. Or they may have some proximal stability weakness stemming from their hip area.
Students with ADHD and/or those on the autism spectrum often struggle with their ability to remain seated for the expected amount of time as compared to their peers. The Hip Hugger Seat Cover is the answer to these challenges. The Hip Hugger Seat Cover provides just the right amount of subtle sensory and input (proprioception, vestibular & tactile) to the child’s hips in order to remind their body to stay in a more stable position i.e. Stay in their seat!
This has been used in case studies to demonstrate its effectiveness by allowing the students who typically sit on the edge of their seat, those who side sit, sit upon their legs or feet, or those who make contact with the seat with only a portion of their “sitter” (vestibular &/or proprioceptive dysfunction). With The Hip Hugger Seat Cover these children are able to feel the right spot where their hips go, they are cued to stay in this optimal learning posture and are able to attend and focus longer than before. Students have been seen to sit throughout expected task time work session with the use of the Hip Hugger Seat Cover, whereas before were up and down, leaning on others, falling out of their chair, or fleeing.
The Hip Hugger Seat Cover is designed to fit most typical school chairs. It comes in 3 sizes that have adjustable fabric to conform to the chair yet not allow the hip supports to move out of place. See Size Chart in the SHOP.

Why the Hip Hugger Seat Cover?
Today’s students are expected to sit for longer periods of time while actively participating in the classroom. Many students have an intrinsic need for movement to learn. When looking at school chair options on the market, educators want subtle and simple designs. When a student is in need of discrete seating supports, they don’t want anything that makes them stand out from their peers. The Hip Hugger Seat Cover (H2SC) is the only school chair option that works exclusively for the movement seeking student without fitting them in a large bulky wooden chair built with specific positioning accessories.
Why not use a ball chair or air seat cushion?
Dynamic seating options such as a ball or air cushion are great options for specific students with dynamic needs including vestibular input, however, these options are not always the best fit. Students may be seen misusing these options if their sensory needs are not being met comprehensively. The H2HS provides the tactile and proprioceptive security to the child’s hips with gentile reminders of where their body positioning is optimal. The H2SC is the ideal support for students who have not shown success using the ball or air cushion seating devices.
Is it only designed for school?
It has more versatility than just being used in school settings. It can also benefit the child during homework or meal time at home (as long as it fits the measurements of the chair at home).
