Sansemotorisk Tyngde-tæppe

Poul is a sensory-motor weighted blanket and lap pad designed for children and adults who experience restlessness, anxiety, or a tendency to become overstimulated. The comfortable weight and various tactile details can create a sense of calm, security, and clear body boundaries.

Stimulation from the Sensory-Motor Weighted Blanket

Poul’s ears are designed to provide tactile stimulation when they are rubbed and touched. The head is soft and comfortable, while the tentacles have a textured underside that resembles small suction cups.

At the end of each tentacle is a pouch filled with granules. This provides additional sensory stimulation for curious or restless fingers. The tentacles can also be wrapped around the hand, allowing the user to hold Poul’s “hand”.

Weight

Poul’s constant deep pressure provides a sense of security that can promote relaxation, contributing to better sleep quality, reduced stress, and improved well-being in everyday life. Poul can therefore be particularly beneficial in environments such as sensory rooms and Snoezelen rooms, where sensory stimulation and relaxation are important. Deep pressure often has a positive effect on a stressed nervous system because it can support the body’s release of oxytocin, a hormone associated with calm and well-being.

Ease of use

Poul can be used in many different ways. For people who are largely sedentary due to physical challenges and experience restlessness in the body, Poul can be a great support. Place him across the legs and feel how the weight can help calm restless legs. Poul can also be used at bedtime or during time-out periods, where he is placed across the stomach and chest while the user rubs the soft ears or explores the tactile details. For wheelchair users, Poul can be placed across the lap because the weight is distributed beneath the body. Poul’s tentacles can be wrapped around the user, creating a comfortable, embracing sensation. The gentle pressure against the body can enhance body awareness and contribute to a calming effect, as pressure stimulates the proprioceptive sense and may support the release of oxytocin, a hormone associated with relaxation. Poul is therefore a flexible sensory-motor weighted blanket that can be used in everyday life, during rest, and in situations involving restlessness or overstimulation. Poul is machine washable.
