Description
Built for Clinics
The Boundex Cuddle Box is a steel frame wrapped in foam and several layers of lycra. The overall impact of the Boundex Cuddle Box lies in the exceptional sensory motor experience it offers a child. In simple terms, the following support-to-development is observed as the child moves on the apparatus:
Triggers the child's drive to explore and challenge gravity using the total body.
Elongation, activation, strengthening and grading core muscles of the body.
Develops strength and stability of the shoulders, arms and hands through grasp, weight bearing, and weight shifting.
Promotes 3 dimensional, refined movement of hands through expansion and gradation.
Develops strength and stability of the pelvis, knees and feet through weight bearing, expansion, weight shift, and gradation, which leads to 3 dimensional, refined movement.
Facilitates stability with mobility throughout the body (no fixing/holding or compensatory patterns)
Vestibular, somatosensory integration is promoted with each action for improving balance and coordination.
Increases depth and variability of respiration/encourages vocalization.
The child's movement actively facilitates integration of primitive reflexes allowing the emergence of 3 dimensional motor patterns.
The child's movements develop controlled gradation of multiple muscle synergies, i.e. top/bottom, left/right, front/back, diagonal/rotational.

FAQs
Is the Boundex Cuddle Box mobile? Can it store away?
Absolutely! The Boundex Cuddle Box was designed with parents and traveling therapists in mind. The frame quickly breaks down to fit nicely in the back of your car for easy transport or in your closet when not in use. It also includes a convenient storage/transport bag.
What is the weight limit for the Boundex Cuddle Box?
The Boundex Cuddle Box, designed by Eileen Richter, was originally created as the "Baby Boundex" for clinical settings, supporting children weighing 20–40 lbs. Smaller, younger children have more opportunities for movement when using the Boundex Cuddle Box, increasing the benefits of the product. Through ongoing design enhancements, it now safely accommodates individuals up to 100 lbs. The Lycra’s stretchy, responsive fabric offers a dynamic way to challenge core strength, balance, and sensory feedback. Users over 40 lbs can enjoy gentle, soothing movement within the supportive material; we recommend adding a Teddy Bear Mat or other landing mat beneath the Boundex Cuddle Box. A good rule of thumb is, if the child can climb out of the product or sinks to the ground the product is no longer therapeutic.
How do I clean the lycra?
To clean, machine wash and hang dry the lycra.
