About this product
Mudai Ottoman — Flexible, Supportive Seating for Dynamic Learning
The Mudai is a purposefully designed, alternative seating option for primary school students — developed to support movement, comfort, and engagement in the classroom. Unlike traditional school chairs that limit flexibility, the Mudai enables students to sit or straddle in a range of positions, promoting self-regulation and improved focus.
Available in three sizes — Small (Kindergarten to Year 2), Large (Years 3 to 6) and Floor Cushion the Mudai is made from high-density Dunlop Enduro foam that provides the ideal balance between cushioned comfort and supportive structure. Its lightweight construction means children can easily move it around, encouraging autonomy and self-directed learning.
The triangle shape allows for seamless nesting and compact storage when not in use. For floor-based activities, a complementary diamond-shaped cushion is also available.
Upholstered in GECA-certified 100% eco-polyester, the Mudai features a removable, stain-protected cover that can be professionally cleaned or replaced over time — helping maintain a fresh look and feel year after year. Choose from four Junior accent colours inspired by the Australian landscape to bring biophilic colour theory into your learning space.
Named after the Dharug word "Mudai", meaning soft, this ottoman is part of the Learn by Koskela range — designed with movement, wellbeing and sustainability in mind.

We recognise that the long-term durability of Koskela’s furniture is a critical success factor for your project. Throughout Koskela’s 7-year Warranty, if you do require assistance or maintenance, reach out to us and we can visit site and perform a Maintenance Service.
During the visit, our skilled Maintenance team will ensure you are happy with the installation. If any structural defects become apparent during a Maintenance visit, the team will rectify the issue on the spot, or lodge a job and organise its repair within 30 days.
We will create a Maintenance report for you, which itemises your Koskela furniture and makes recommendations for refurbishments that occur due to wear and tear. Ongoing maintenance will improve and extend the quality use of your furniture.

Our products are designed to be the highest standards of quality and functionality. While we believe our furniture will last as long as possible, if something does go wrong, we are here to help.

After this time, if something does go wrong, you can contact Koskela customer service and we’ll let you know if we can fix it for a reasonable cost.
