Laya, I've also had a look at your other thread to see your finished work as a whole. Hand or powered sanders for simple curved surfaces are not available mainstream; and forget compound curves. You'll have to really dig deep to find what you want or make your own. The smaller bobbin sanders shown earlier are typical of what's available.
The first image shows a sander a luthier modified to sand the waists of a guitar. The blue piece is a very short length of foam rod typically used as a flotation device in swimming pools and commonly called foam spaghetti. The obvious flat side enables the transfer of the orbital motion from the sander plate. In this case the opposite side is untouched but there no reason why it couldn't be re-radiused to various curves. Indeed, you could make your own curved block the full size of the sanders pad from high density foam.
