The compression sheet provides proprioceptive input as you lay underneath it. You can adjust your body to get comfortable and adjust the sheet to cover your entire body or just your legs - whatever feels good! Because it’s breathable, you can also safely lay fully underneath.

Whether it’s going for a run, watching your favorite show, talking with a loved one, or some other remedy, find it and implement it as soon as those anxious feelings start rising. Being able to receive this type of relief while not changing your sleep environment too drastically can make it a seamless transition and happy compromise for you and your partner. The Importance of a Comfortable Home Environment If you are planning to introduce a new sensation via a blanket or sheet to a child who is very sensitive to sensation, be mindful how you introduce it. Slow and steady is best - let them explore at their own pace alongside a safe and connected adult. That safe and connected adult will be responsible to keep the child regulated during the introduction of this new item since it may invite dysregulation simply due to its novelty. You may introduce and invite the child to feel it on their body over multiple days so it can become familiar. Have you ever consulted with an OT who has determined that your child would benefit from proprioceptive input? This cozy blanket is not only portable because it is a blanket; it is also portable because you can wear it. Due to its compression and ability to open at the top and bottom, you or your child are able to pull it all the way up your body and roll it up your legs and walk around. It's the perfect balance of compression without feeling restricted.
