Stimove - Weighted lapcushion - Yellow

This weighted cushion helps children to calm down, but also to sit still in class. The weighting cushion stimulates focus, attention and concentration. The fabric provides additional tactile stimuli. The irresistibly soft dotted cover provides tactile stimulation. Many children enjoy fidgeting and feeling to process stimuli in this way. Use the deep pressure cushion in the classroom, at home or on the go to support your sensitive child in case of imminent overstimulation.

Who is a weighted cushion for?

In general, it is mainly children with a certain concentration disorder who benefit from the use of a weighting cushion. For them it can offer a lot of benefits because stimuli are suppressed. Sitting still and concentrating becomes a lot easier for them when they have the pillow on their lap.

This is why we are increasingly seeing it used in the classroom. But it can also offer a solution at home, for example while doing homework. Of course it is not a panacea, but it is clear to notice that children experience a lot more peace and can concentrate better.

Do you think it would be a good idea to also purchase a weighted cushion for your child? Below we have put together when it can come in handy:

Children who are highly sensitive and react quickly and intensely to stimuli.
Children who suffer from a disorder such as ADD or ADHD.
Children who have difficulty sitting still for long periods of time, for example in class.
Children who linger in thoughts or are very easily distracted.
In general, we see that the weighting cushion is mainly used by children, but that does not mean that adults cannot use it. Do you also suffer from poor concentration, are you easily distracted or can't sit still for long? Then it is definitely worth giving it a try.

Both school teachers and therapists are positive about the tool. They therefore regularly use it to keep children calm during a long conversation.
