The Weighted Lap Pad rests over the lap and gives a calm, reassuring weight that helps the body settle. At 2.3kg, the weight is sewn evenly through the pad, so it stays put and feels steady, never lumpy. One side has soft textured bumps to run your fingers over, the other is smooth and quilted.
Why people reach for it
A little weight can be wonderfully calming. Resting the pad on your lap gives a settled, anchored feeling that makes it easier to focus, wind down or sit still for longer. It suits all sorts of people, from adults at a desk or on the couch to students at their books and kids at homework, and it is a quiet, discreet comfort you can use just about anywhere.
How to use it
Lay it across your lap while working, reading, studying or relaxing. Run your hands over the textured side or rest them on the smooth quilted side. To clean, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then let it air dry.

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 !
Would like it more if the penguin came with more stuffing so you can add more if that is your preference. And where are you supposed to put the weight. I paid extra for that but you can’t put it any where
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for your feedback! 😊
The weighted bag is designed to go inside the hidden zippered pouch located on the side of the penguin, so it's easy to remove or insert as needed.
Regarding the stuffing, we really appreciate your suggestion. We intentionally designed the penguin with a softer feel, but we'll certainly take your feedback on board as we continue to develop our products.
If you're having any trouble locating the hidden pouch, please send us a message and we'd be more than happy to help.
