Students need to be able to move around throughout the day. Having flexible seating, especially wobble chairs allow students move their bodies while being seated. For example, they can rock, bounce, lean or stand, which in turn increases oxygen flow to their brain, increases overall blood flow, and strengthens their core. All of this not only helps keep young minds more alert and focused during demanding academic lessons, but also helps burn calories and increase metabolism.
Overall, flexible seating leads to increased student engagement which is linked to higher motivation and academic performance as well as improved overall behavior.
