There's room for more than one rider on the Southpaw Glider Bolster Swing, and that changes what a swing session can look like. It's strong enough for a therapist to ride along and steady enough to welcome younger or more cautious swingers, which is why we're proud to offer it to families and professionals across Canada & the US.

Key Features of the Southpaw Glider Bolster Swing

• Room for Larger Riders in Every Position - Accommodates larger riders and those who need more support in all developmental positions, so one glider bolster swing can serve a wide range of therapy goals.
• Strong Enough for a Therapist to Ride Along - You can sit beside your client and provide hands-on facilitation right on the swing.
• A Stable Base for Cautious Swingers - Offers stability for younger or posturally insecure riders, helping them settle into vestibular movement with more confidence.
• Two- or Four-Point Suspension - Hang it from two or four points, then move it in smooth arcs or rock it gently, depending on what each rider needs.
• Space for Several Riders at Once - Easily holds a small group during an activity, creating natural opportunities for social interaction and shared play.
• Reversible Dual-Density Foam Base - Flip the heavily padded, vinyl-covered base to choose the high-density side or the softer low-density side for each rider's comfort.
• Removable Wraparound Vinyl Cover - Comes off easily for cleaning or replacement, and replacement covers are sold individually.
• Made in the USA - Manufactured by Southpaw in the United States.

Why Linear Gliding Supports Sensory Integration

Back-and-forth gliding is a staple of OT gyms for good reason. The predictable movement gives the vestibular system clear input to process, while holding a position on the bolster keeps core and postural muscles working. For neurodiverse riders and anyone with sensory processing differences, that rhythm can support calm and self-regulation as part of a sensory diet planned with an occupational therapist. For everyone else, it's simply a great ride.
