Description
The P‑Pod Postural Support Seating System is a beanbag‑based alternative seating solution from Specialised Orthotic Services (SOS), also marketed as Inspired by Drive in some regions. Designed for 24‑hour positioning needs, it combines a familiar, non‑clinical feel with structured postural support for children and young adults in home, school, and therapy settings. A heat‑treated moulded foam pod provides alignment, while the soft bean bag base enhances comfort and relaxation. Lightweight and easy to move, the system supports symmetrical seating as standard, with custom‑moulded options available.
