Sensory Swing Benefits

Recommended for Autism & Sensory Processing Disorder

Swinging is not just for children but is enjoyed by people of all ages. Swinging back and forth, or linearly, is calming to almost anyone. Many look forward to taking a nap in a hammock.

The gentle sway reminds us of being rocked. By providing information about movement, swinging can stimulate our sense of motion and orientation in space.

About Sensory Issues & Autism

Self-Regulation

Children with autism often feel dysregulated, or confused and overwhelmed within their environment. They can over-react or under-react to various noises, sensations, sights, tastes, touch and more. Many of them find the smooth rocking and swaying of a swing to help them to relax and feel soothed. They may be able to concentrate and focus better during and after movement activities.

About Autistic Regulation

Vestibular Processing

If a child is struggling with vestibular processing, they seek out movement that interferes with daily activities, they are clumsy or uncoordinated, or they get motion sickness - then the compression sensory swing can be a great tool! Depending on how you position your body in the swing, you can receive linear vestibular input - back and forth or side to side, or rotary vestibular input - spinning.

About Vestibular Input
Sensory Swing Science

Vestibular Input & Deep Touch Pressure

Sensory swings offer vestibular input, which is the feeling of your head or body changing position or movement. This input helps the body understand direction, speed, and balance.

They also provide Deep Touch Pressure (DTP)—gentle, even pressure that can promote calm, relaxation, and better sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions

This is an optional description that can elaborate on the questions that are being asked.

  • Is there an age, weight, and height limit for the swing?

    The swing is designed for children 3 years or older. The swing is designed to hold up to 200 lbs and is wide enough to accommodate the height of a full sized adult.

  • Can I hang the swing outside?

    Our swings are designed for inside use only.

  • Does the swing work with tall ceilings? Is the swing adjustable?

    We recommend that the sensory swing be hung from ceilings 7.5 to 10 feet high.

  • Is the swing washable?

    Yes, to clean the swing we recommend using a damp cloth and mild soap. If needed, you can place in a cold water delicate wash cycle and hang to dry. Do not bleach.

  • Does the swing's ceiling hook have to drill into a ceiling joist, or can it attach directly into drywall only?

    You will need a solid wood ceiling joist in order to safely attach the swing ceiling hook. The swing will not be safe to use if attaching the hook to drywall alone.

  • Does it come with hardware?

    Yes, you have everything you need to hang up and use your swing right away: Ceiling hook, 2 Lag Screws, 2 Locking carabiners, Rescue 8, and a Daisy chain.

  • Can you spin while using the swing?

    The swing is intended to be used for static hanging and gentle swinging. Spinning is only recommended when using a 360º Swivel (sold separately). If you spin the swing without a 360º Swivel it can cause excess wear and tear of the swing fabric.

Money well spent! Infinite hours of fun!

I got this for my two children (2 and 4) and they spend hours a day playing on it and fighting over it. Install was easy and it’s super high quality! I’d recommend to anyone

the best thing I ever bought my kids

We had to buy new swing fabric because our other one ripped. It wasn't bad quality, the kids are just on it everyday all day, as much as possible. We had blue and we changed it to pink and we are all enjoying the change. My kids and their friends are on this swing non-stop - its part of their games, it's part of their exercise, and also helps them calm down. We have it in the middle of our living room/main living space so the kids can go on it while watching tv or just hanging out. Luckily, we have a big space so they can really swing. It is the most used thing I've ever gotten the kids. While it doesn't look natural in our living room design it is 100% worth it. I tell everyone to buy one!

We are so loving the swing. It’s made of top-notch materials, so easy to install and the kids are finding it fun and relaxing. Wish I had one as a kid!

Set up was tricky but not hard. Worth the money.

My son loves this thing! It's good material, love the color. Set up wasn't too difficult, although I did have to jerry-rig the swing set-up i already had. And it worked better than i thought. I might get a swivel hook for it at some point. Might be more fun that way. I do definitely recommend this product if your child has sensory needs and a regular swing just doesn't cut it.

Wax paper optional

My only complaint is that this thing would make a noise when swinging as the strap rode from one side of the u shaped ring to the other and with more weight there would be more noise. I tried silicone wd40 to no avail, then I wanted to try waxing it but I didn’t have a candle so I decided to just wrap a strip of wax paper around the strap and viola! Perfectly silent operation.

Grounding design, great quality, fun to use

Grounding design, great quality, fun to use:This product provides a very snug, grounding hold over its users that's both comforting and fun. The product's swing really does feel like you're being swaddled and brings an immediate sense of calm while using. The swinging motion further accentuates this comforting feeling and allows you to instantly relax while using the product. The quality of the materials used are also quite high, and all parts and pieces feel very durable and designed to last a while. The product is also just fun to use - even as an adult I love using this product and feel very carefree and calm while using.Overall, this is a good product and I would recommend.

Great swing

I got it for my nephew with autism and he loves it. He enjoys swinging on it for hours. It’s very relaxing and peaceful for him. Comes with everything you need to hang it up and use it. I love how it’s great quality and easy to assemble. So much fun for the kids

Des heures de plaisir

Cette balancoire sensorielle est un must pour les enfants qui adorent bouger. Elle s'installe facilement à l'intérieur comme à l'extérieur. Bien sûr, il fait s'assurer de faire une installation sécuritaire à l'intérieur pour ensuite s'amuser des heures. La sangle incluse permet d'ajuster la hauteur peut importe nos besoins. Le crochet est solide et massif. Cependant, aucune instructions papiers n'étaient incluses. Il fallait visionner une capsule vidéo. Personnellement, j'aurais préféré avoir les deux afin de pouvoir choisir ce qui me convient.En somme, l'ensemble est de bonne qualité et les enfants peuvent s'amuser de diverses façons.

Great Product for Relaxation and Comfort

My child uses this at his therapy center, and it’s one of his absolute favorites. It helps him relax, feel happy, and sometimes even fall asleep. I knew I had to get one for home. The fact that it’s in his favorite color, blue, made it even better. It’s incredibly sturdy and can hold my weight without any problem. Honestly, it’s not just for him—I love using it too! I’m thrilled with this purchase, and my child uses it every single day. This has been one of the best investments I’ve made for him, better than many other things I’ve bought. I’ll continue to monitor its durability, and if anything changes, I’ll be sure to update because I know how important safety is for parents.

Great quality

Wow! Amazing quality! I'm 205lb, and this has with stood me for a whole month. I love the info video of how to set it up, was so easy after watching, I'm a 25yr girl and did it myself! My nephews cannot get enough of this swing when they come over!

Easy and Fun!

This kit is very nicely put together and would make for a wonderful gift or personal item. I love that all the hardware is included but haven't installed the hard point that was provided.****This review is using different hard points from the ones provided****As a grown adult weighing around 150lbs, I was concerned I was going to tear through the fabric or that it wouldn't hold me. However, it was flexible enough to be comfortable yet strong! I enjoyed the comforting hug feeling. When using it as an actual sit down swing, the fabric and weight end up making my legs sore after a short time, but it is definitely doable.The silky texture is really nice too and the looping onto the ring was very easy. The carabineer held strong and everything seems of great quality! Recommend it for sure!

200 lbs?

This sensory swing is great and my kids love it (ages 8 & 11). I'm too nervous to test the weight on myself. It's very big and roomy for my kids.

Great quality

Wow, you can really tell the love and pride that went into this sensory swing. The quality of the materials is above and beyond. The material is soft and stretchy, but durable. The hardware is heavy duty and can be used with different types of swings. Assembly and install was very easy after finding the joist with a stud finder. My daughter loves to swing and this is perfect for rainy days and expends extra energy. She would swing and spin for hours if I let her.

Nice but way too pricey

This is a very nice sensory swing however the quality is on par with other ones we have that we have gotten for 1/5 the price that this one is. The hardware is nice but most of the cheaper ones also come with the same hardware.

My kids love them and they've held up well

We have three of these now. Two have been installed for nearly 2 years below our 2nd story deck (above our ground level patio). The third we just got for our youngest to enjoy soon. I think I brought the 2 originals in for a couple days when we had some bigger storms, but otherwise they've been outdoors the whole time. The bright blue fabric has a little sun fading after 2 years, but otherwise they're still like new - the hardware is still looking nice and the swivels still work perfectly, even through midwest rains & snow. My kids still enjoy them quite a bit, and their friends always enjoy them when they come over. Harkla also has great support/instructions when getting them set up for the first time.

Kids love

These “swings” have been a huge hit in my kids playroom! They are constantly fighting over whose turn it is! They can do so many different tricks on them, has been great for building strength. The material is so soft as well! Love the neutral color.

product as shown

Super impressed with the heavy duty hardware that comes with this thing. The fabric is thin but feels good quality and like it should hold up to wear and tear. It took a bit of thinking to loop it through the metal doo-hickey like they show; I didn't take the time to look up the video and it was def doable and easy-peasy. The booklet that comes with is well done and has clear pictorial instructions. Overall, impressed so far. Now to find somewhere very sturdy to hang it...

Fabric is thick and heavy

Great quality on this kids swing. The fabric is really good quality. The hanging kit was top of the line and worked well to get securely attached to the stud. Hangs well.

One of the best things we got for our kid, period

We got our first Harkla sensory swing when our kid was finishing kindergarten and the virus hit and everything was shut down. Gosh, this swing provided endless exploration of movement and sensation for our kid, who later was diagnosed with sensory disbalance - he is avoiding a lot of tactile experiences such as hugs, kisses, he has tons of preferences regarding clothes - but spends hours in that swing. he's now 10 and still enjoys it, and even his older friend who is 11 prefers this swing to a couch or bean bag.Highly recommend!!!!

We LOVE Harkla

Imagine a company that cares as much about everyone’s learning as they do the quality of their products? That’s what we have found in Harkla. Their educational content has been consistent source of support and we love having their products in our home.This greige is the perfect color and it is light years above the quality of previous sensory swings we have had in the past. If you look closely you’ll see a hidden passenger on big brother’s back :). It’s fun for all the ages in our house.

Soothing

There are never too many tools when it comes to expressing our emotions, and the earlier we can learn how to identify and express our emotions in a healthy way, the better off we will be. This swing is effective at helping to gain calm emotions when your child is tired or cranky. Assembly is simple, and it is easy to use.
