How Bean Bag Chairs Are Used to Help Autistic Kids

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) includes three known variants with autism itself forming its core; asperger syndrome and atypical autism (otherwise known as Pervasive Development Disorder Not Otherwise Specified) make up the other two-thirds of the disorder’s makeup.

Regardless of which one a sufferer is inflicted with, all share many common traits. However, often overlooked, is their need to feel safe. Autistic children possess a strong desire to be alone, to do tasks by themselves. Keeping company with no one offers them a position of safety. A disorder present in 1 of every 150 children demands heavy research in regards to easing the child’s discomfort. [...]

Update on our Helping Haiti Fundraiser

Since starting this campaign in early January donating a portion of our sales to the victims in Haiti, $1260 has been raised and was donated to the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund! We thought we would get the money to the people of Haiti as quickly as possible instead of wait until the end of the month.

Thanks for your ongoing support and we also appreciate the great feedback we have received from many of our customers. If you would like to donate money in addition to the $20 we are giving for each order, please donate directly to the organization of your choice. (Several people have contacted us about donating for the cause and they can do that directly through the Clinton-Bush Haiti fund http://clintonbushhaitifund.org/ There are many good organizations to choose from but make sure you do your research.

We can all make a difference!

Comfy Sacks Bring Comfort to Autistic Kids

More and more children are being diagnosed with autism each year. The U.S. Department of Education says autism diagnosis is growing at a rate of 10 to 17 percent a year, leading the Autism Society of America to predict the number of autistic people living in America could hit four million within the next decade.

When working with an autistic child, it is important to make them as comfortable as possible. Being in a secure place of comfort makes it easier for autistic children to focus and remain calm.

Using a Comfy Sack when working on therapy and learning activities can be a big help for autistic children. We’ve heard from many parents who have told us about the positive difference having a Comfy Sack has made in their lives and the lives of their children.

The Comfy Sack is a next-generation bean bag chair filled with high-quality, furniture-grade polyurethane foam. It is not noisy to sit in like a conventional bean bag chair, and it is firm enough to hug your body without being stiff or hard.

Comfy Sack beanbags put no pressure on the body, making it easier to sit for long periods. It also provides a place of comfort and safety for the child. Some parents even report that their children prefer to sleep on their Comfy Sack rather than in bed because the feeling of being surrounded by the sack is very comforting.

Parents can sit with their child on the Comfy Sack and spend time working on educational activities, reading or just being together. Using a Comfy Sack will improve bonding with your child and make activities more fun for both of you.

Comfy Sacks can be covered with cotton twill or high-quality microsuede, which is the preferred choice for kids bean bag chairs. This soft but durable fabric wears well and is nice to touch. The cover is removable and machine washable.

We’re so confident in the ability of Comfy Sacks to help children with autism, we’ve advertised our products in The Autism Advocate magazine to spread the word about how Comfy Sacks beanbags can help.

Feeling safe, secure and comfortable is so important for people with autism. The Comfy Sack bean bag chair can help your child feel more secure and help you both enjoy activities together even more than you do now. Your Comfy Sack will become the favorite place for family fun or one-on-one time that is so important for your autistic child.

Comfy Sacks Teams Up with Rupert Boneham to Help Kids

If you’re one of the more than 38 million people who voted for Rupert Boneham on “Survivor: All Stars,” helping him win $1 million, you probably already know what a great, charismatic and generous guy he is. But what you may not know is that he used most of his winnings to start a charity, “Rupert’s Kids,” which empowers young people to find their inner strength, self worth and value to society.

Comfy Sacks, a maker of premium bean bag furniture, believes in the mission of Rupert’s Kids to provide mentoring and educational programming to youth as well as developing housing options for low-income families and facilitating community partnerships to help disadvantaged people of all ages.

“We fell in love with Rupert when we saw him on ‘Survivor,’ but we liked him even more when we found out about all he has done and continues to do to help kids,” said Tyler Shearburn, founder of Comfy Sacks. “We jumped at the chance to help. But instead of just making a donation, we wanted to develop a product that would reflect Rupert’s larger-than-life personality and generosity.”

The Rupert Edition Comfy Sacks are covered with super-soft tie-dyed fleece and range in size from 3.5 feet round to the massive eight-foot Comfy Sack, fit for a crowd. Comfy Sacks will donate $25 from the sale of each Rupert Edition Comfy Sack to his charity.

“Rupert loved the Comfy Sack so much he asked for an eight-foot model for his office in

Indianapolis,” Shearburn said. “He uses it every day when he’s not on the road sharing the good work of Rupert’s Kids.”

Comfy Sacks are not your mama’s bean bag furniture. Made with high-quality, furniture-grade foam, they are incredibly soft and comfortable, supporting your body without being stiff. The foam has incredibly memory and does not flatten or make noise like the traditional foam used in bean bags. ComfySacks are perfect for lounging, watching movies, playing video games, reading, even comforting autistic children. Learn more at http://www.ComfySacks.com.

Comfy Sacks was founded about four years ago when Shearburn was looking for the most comfortable seating possible for watching movies and playing video games. Unable to find what he was looking for, he developed Comfy Sacks as an extremely comfortable and reasonably priced alternative to couches and chairs.
