Fitness Wheel Hammock
$219.99
The Fitness Wheel Hammock transforms your 5-ft Fitness Wheel into a suspended sensory swing that children love. Designed at the request of therapists and sensory experts, it turns the Fitness Wheel’s familiar bungee bed surface into a whole new experience of swinging, spinning, rocking, and balancing. Fleece-covered webbing keeps contact points soft against skin, while multiple loop placements let you adjust hanging height to match each child’s comfort and goals.

About the Fitness Wheel Hammock
What makes the Fitness Wheel Hammock valuable is how greatly it expands what the already versatile Fitness Wheel can do. On the floor, the Fitness Wheel is already one of our most engaging pieces of equipment. Suspended, it becomes a source of rhythmic vestibular input that helps many children feel organized and calm. The gentle swinging and rocking deliver deep sensory feedback that helps children understand where their body is in space.
The hammock itself is built with intention. Sturdy nylon cradles the Fitness Wheel securely, while premium soft webbing distributes weight evenly across the suspension points. Anywhere the webbing might contact during use is covered in soft fleece for comfort. Metal clips attach directly to the four D-rings on the Fitness Wheel, and adjustable webbing ensures a snug, secure fit that keeps the wheel firmly in place during active movement.
Because this is an accessory for the 5-ft Fitness Wheel (sold separately) and requires overhead suspension hardware (not included), setup planning matters. Your suspension point must support the combined weight of the wheel, hammock, and child. Most therapy clinics and sensory gyms already have ceiling-mounted hardware that works well with the Hammock’s loop attachment system.

Benefits of the Fitness Wheel Hammock
Emotional Regulation
Rhythmic swinging and rocking deliver calming vestibular input that helps children organize their sensory systems. The enclosed, cradled position of the wheel adds a sense of security that supports self-regulation.
Play
Children who already love the Fitness Wheel discover an entirely new way to play when it swings. The novelty of suspension turns a familiar favorite into something fresh, keeping engagement high across repeated sessions.
Strength
The wheel’s ongoing motion demands continuous core engagement to stay centered. Children build the trunk stability and postural endurance that support sitting, standing, and classroom readiness.
FAQs about the Fitness Wheel Hammock
On the floor, the Fitness Wheel primarily offers balance, strength, and play opportunities on a stable surface. Suspended, it adds vestibular input through swinging, spinning, and rocking that floor-based activities cannot provide. This makes the Hammock especially valuable for children who benefit from rhythmic movement to help with sensory regulation, body awareness, and attention.
Yes. Because you control the initial push and the hanging height, you can introduce movement very gradually. Many children who are cautious about vestibular input begin by simply sitting in the suspended wheel with minimal movement. As comfort builds, gentle rocking and swinging can be introduced at the child’s pace, with a therapist guiding the progression.
Yes. The Fitness Wheel Hammock is designed exclusively for the 5′ Fitness Wheel. Its shape, clip placement, and webbing dimensions are specific to that product, and using it with other equipment is not supported. The 5′ Fitness Wheel is sold separately on the Fitness Wheel product page.
The Hammock uses loop attachments at the top of the straps that connect to your overhead suspension point. Suspension hardware is not included. Your mounting point needs to support the combined weight of the Fitness Wheel, Hammock, and child (the user weight limit is 100 lbs). Most pediatric therapy clinics and sensory gyms have existing ceiling-mounted suspension systems that work well. Always verify the load capacity of your suspension setup before use.
The metal clips connect directly to the four D-rings on the Fitness Wheel, and the webbing adjusts for a secure fit. Attaching the wheel to the hammock is straightforward once your overhead suspension is in place. The Hammock itself is lightweight and can be stored easily when not in use.
Important Safety Information
Weight limit: 100 lbs. / 45 kg
The maximum user weight is 100 pounds. This limit applies to the child only; the Hammock supports this weight in addition to the weight of the Fitness Wheel. Always verify that your suspension point and hardware can support the total combined load of the child, Fitness Wheel, and Hammock.
