The high quality, translucent yet resistive fabric of our body socks creates an unparalleled sensory experience (check out the video below!). Body socks offer unlimited opportunities to improve proprioception due to the full body deep pressure, while also increasing motor planning skills and balance.  The action of pushing against the resistive fabric benefits those with tactile defensiveness as well as sensory seekers. Sensory Matters' Body Socks are designed to allow the individual to have their head inside or outside, according to personal preference.  The body sock can become a calming, safe haven for a child who is overloaded with sensory input and who needs to self-regulate.  Available in 4 sizes: Small : 100cm Medium : 120cm Large : 140cm Extra Large : 160cm

3 metres of absolute fun!  This lycra resistance tunnel can provide proprioceptive feedback and help the child develop and/or practice their bilateral co-ordination, motor planning, body awareness, tactile discrimination, gross motor skills and core body strength.  Medium resistance can be achieved by a child crawling through by themselves, while a heavy resistance load can be experienced when a child pushes a 55cm ball through the tunnel.  Deep Pressure Touch Stimulation (DPTS) can stimulate the release of serotonin in the brain, in turn helping children and adults to be calm, relaxed, concentrate on a task and moderate their sensory input. The pressure provided by the lycra around the child’s body, can give this deep pressure stimulation.  These Lycra Tunnels can be used on a smooth floor surface, or the surface under the tunnel can be varied to include items such as pillows/mattresses/mats etc to provide a different base to crawl over.  The children can go through forwards, backwards or sideways and many children looooove to stop in the middle and just chill (great deep pressure when they are positioned correctly here)! The Lycra Tunnels have 4 large handles at each end for other children or adults to hold while another child is going through the tunnel (for our family, we place 2 of the handles under the dining table legs and place the tunnel under the table, with the extra part of the tunnel hanging out the other end of the table.  Then there doesn't need to be any adult assistance.)

Lycra Bed Sheets can be helpful, similar to weighted products, by providing deep pressure while laying down to help the over stimulated nervous system to 'calm down' ready for sleep, or to provide the environment for the child to gain the sensory input that they are craving through resistance as the child crawls underneath, stretching the bed sheet with their body, arms and legs in all different directions.  Sensory Matters Lycra Bed Sheets are unique as the bottom section is not closed off, so the child can use it like a tunnel too - crawling through from one end to the other. Our Lycra Bed Sheets are available in Single, King Single and Double Bed sizes. These sheets are all designed to fit mattresses with a depth of up to 24cm.
