Sensory Chair Lounger by Southpaw

Sensory processing disorders make it difficult for individuals to interact with their world without getting overwhelmed. This can make a huge impact on the ability to enjoy new experiences. A sensory overload can throw a child with autism, attention deficit, or emotional disorders into a state of anxiety which can sometimes be expressed as tantrums or meltdowns. Research indicates we can disrupt the sensory overwhelm with targeted and constant deep touch pressure to help those affected return to a state of calm and order.

What is Deep Touch Pressure?
Deep Touch Pressure is a form of tactile sensory input; it directly affects the nervous system. This type of sensory input is most commonly received from hugs, squeezes, or firm rubs/strokes. Deep Touch Pressure helps calm individuals that experience sensory overload. It's also been shown to help improve focus. Deep Touch Pressure can be received from weighted blankets (such as the Sensory Weighted Blanket for Kids by Harkla or the Zensory Antimicrobial Weighted Blanket for Kids by PureCare) and compression sheets (like the Sensory Compression Sheet Blanket by Harkla).

The Sensory Chair Lounger by SouthPaw helps apply constant deep touch pressure through a pump activated inflatable chair. The inflated pad cradles the user and provides pressure along their back, sides, and head. Users can shift and turn until the pressure is comforting, and experience a deep soothing calm after a sensory overload. The air pump is nearly silent so will not disturb sensitive ears, and when the power is turned off, the pressure slowly releases as the chair deflates. This chair also comes with a safety quick release valve that will rapidly deflate the chair in the event of an emergency.
