This child may benefit from using the compression sheet during the bedtime routine - crawling underneath for calming compression, laying under the sheet while reading, etc. Nylon is a breathable material that's naturally soft to the touch and pleasing against your skin, while spandex gives it some added stretch. All this said, while compression sheets can be highly effective, it is not the only item that can accomplish this goal. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

When the fidgetbum is stretched around the mattress and bedcovers, it is joined together by the chunky zip - making easy to zip up at bedtime. A sensory compression sheet applies gentle touch to your entire body while simultaneously providing you with warm, light pressure all night. The fabric is breathable, helps the user stay cool in hot weather and is easy to use with a favorite blanket underneath it when it is cold. An effective tool to calm a sensory seeking or anxious child, very helpful for children who find bedtime difficult.Maybe you are someone who feels like they have tried everything under the sun to help relieve your stress or even your child’s stress, and nothing is working out, or maybe you are just embarking on your journey to fixing this problem. Our sensory bed sheets are unique, they are made from our premium, breathable Calmtex® Sleep fabric, and they are a great alternative to a weighted blanket. I had been debating for months whether or not to sew a weighted blanket for my son before deciding to try making my own sensory bed sheets. Pretty much everyone has some experience with feeling overwhelmed, whether it is due to an issue at work, at home, physical, or mental. It didn’t matter which sides were facing each other because the seam would end up hidden under the mattress.

Listening with open empathy, even if you hear something you don’t want to hear, is just one example of practices that create a healthy, happy home. When we move, these sensory receptors send signals to our brain, telling it about the movement's effort, force, and heaviness.

Deep touch pressure releases serotonin which then turns into melatonin, leading to deeper, more restful sleep. We do, however, see individuals who are under-responsive or sensory craving, meaning they want more heavy work, crashing, hugs, etc. Use the compression sheet in a quiet sensory corner to provide deep touch pressure when needed for self-regulation.
