Compass Chair

Made for your classroom

The perfect inclusion chair.

With its supportive seat, sturdy armrests and stable frame, the new Compass Chair offers mildly involved students the support they need to feel secure and comfortable. At the same time its simple and elegant construction lets it blend easily into any classroom environment.

New Features for the Compass Chair

  1. Height adjustment: New legs offer double the height adjustment range, so you can find the perfect fit for your child.
  2. Dynamic feet: For students who benefit from movement and sensory input, the new dynamic feet give the chair a subtle bounce and a softer feel. It’s just enough movement to help a student focus and release energy while still providing a sense of security.
  3. Stability feet: The new stability feet clip on or off the front and back legs independently. They enlarge the chair’s base of support to accommodate more active, tip-prone students.
  4. Low friction legs: The optional low friction legs allow the chair to slide more easily.
  5. Easy installation: The new legs and feet are compatible with any Rifton Compass Chair. No tools required.

Coming Soon:

A compatible rocker base and an anti-tip platform to ensure that all four legs stay on the floor.
