The Sensory Knot Ball is a big, cushion-like ball made from soft fabric tubes knotted together into a tangle-free shape. At around 35cm across, it is satisfyingly solid to hold, hug and squeeze, giving hands and laps something calming to settle into.
Why kids love it
It is the kind of thing you just want to grab and hold. The knotted texture is endlessly squishy to press and explore, and the gentle heft makes it feel like a calm, steady hug across the lap. Kids reach for it to wind down, to keep busy hands happy, or simply to lean into something soft and comforting.
Comfort Insert included
Tucked inside is a removable 2kg Comfort Insert, colour-coded so you can tell its weight at a glance. Leave it in for a reassuring, settling feel across the lap, or slip it out for a lighter ball that is easy to toss, roll and carry. One ball, two ways to use it.
How to use it
Rest it across the lap during reading or desk work, hug it for comfort, or pop it under the feet for a calm anchor. Take the insert out for lighter squeezing and rolling during quiet breaks. Keep it in a cosy corner, classroom or bedroom for easy reach. Spot clean with a damp cloth as needed.

They both do not sound the alarm every time it hits the zero mark until a second or third try.
Great product, very sturdy and all my kids love it, it did take awhile to get here however, but once here it's a new favourite in this house, very well made product. Worth the money that's for sure.
I first tried it in a therapy session I didn’t know the weight would assist more but it did I then really wanted one for myself as that one was my therapists one.
I find everyone is different to what they find helpful. i bought two others but I didn’t find them as useful as the cube for myself. So im grateful i found this one and its pretty solid so it prob last a while as long as I dont loose it
Or another claim it!!
My daughter has overwhelming sensory issues when it comes to her head and hair; this brush is a life-changer for us! It does everything they promise. Much happy, very recommend.

Thanks for your feedback 😊 The Ear Defenders are adjustable and can be extended for a larger fit. We'll email you instructions on how to adjust them, which should give you a much more comfortable fit.
Very high quality and such a great product for helping the kids feel calm.
Very nice design and the fluffy side is nice and soft. Fits nicely in my work bag so i can use it at home and work every day
It works well with other wighted blankets too for some extra pressure where its needed
It is the most beautiful rug. Just as described. My only problem is I would have liked it to be delivered by a courier other than Australia post. As I have a lot of problems with the aus post courier.
Its aethestically pleasing for the toilet. Its quite good and hygienic for kids to clean the toilet without the mess of a wet toilet brush. However it would be a good idea to consider precautionary measures to prevent kids accidentally dropping it into the loo whilst using it.
My 35 yr old daughter tried it , she said it goes very fast it’s good for core strength. We haven’t had any kids on it yet but there will be some at my Christmas party this year.
This Mat is incredible- so soft and beautiful for my high sensory boy to enjoy and help him regulate after a school day- the whole family loves it! Huge bonus it looks amazing and the colours are so neutral they match the room perfectly- Thankyou so much !
