A sensory companion for everyday activities

A cotton weighted lap pillow can be used during seated activities such as reading, table exercises and therapy sessions. It can also accompany feeding, doctor appointments, car journeys or playtime. The cotton texture and weighted feel offer a way to explore localised pressure before considering a larger weighted item such as a blanket.

Every person's response to weighted sensory tools is different. Choose how and when to use the pillow around the individual user's comfort and needs, rather than expecting a guaranteed change in attention or relief from anxiety, joint pain or restless legs.

What weight should I choose?

There is no single established weight that is suitable for everyone. Our existing general guideline is a weight up to 10% of body weight, as with a weighted blanket, but this is not an individual recommendation. Ask an occupational therapist or another qualified professional for advice on a suitable weight and use, particularly for a child.

Weighted lap pillows are generally used for shorter periods. The user should be able to remove the pillow and communicate when they want to stop using it. If you are choosing pillows for a larger group, consider a range of weights to accommodate different users.

Cotton fabric details

The cotton has a weight of 260 gsm. It is sturdy, durable and becomes softer with use. The fabric is Oeko-Tex certified.

A personalised touch

Looking for a gift for someone special? Creating your own combination gives this cotton weighted lap pillow a personal touch. Please be aware that personalised items are non-returnable.

Caring for your cotton weighted lap pillow

Machine wash at 30°C. Make sure the pillow's weight does not exceed your machine's wash-load capacity. Use a low spin and dry flat.

A sensory companion for everyday activities

A weighted lap pillow can be used as a sensory tool during activities that call for sitting and focusing, including reading, table exercises and therapy sessions. It can also be used during feeding, doctor appointments, car journeys or playtime. The plush texture and weighted feel offer a way to explore localised pressure before considering a larger weighted item such as a blanket.

Responses to weighted sensory tools vary. Rather than promising relief from anxiety, restless legs or sensory dysregulation, choose how and when to use the pillow around the individual user's comfort and needs.

What weight should I choose?

There is no single academically established weight that is suitable for everyone. Our existing general guideline is a weight up to 10% of body weight, as with a weighted blanket, but this is not an individual recommendation. Ask an occupational therapist or another qualified professional for advice on a suitable weight and use, particularly for a child.

Weighted lap pillows are generally used for shorter periods. The user should be able to remove the pillow and communicate when they want to stop using it.

Fabric details and feel

The cotton has a weight of 260 gsm. It is sturdy and becomes softer with use. The high-grade minky plush is soft and pleasant to touch. 

A personalised touch

Creating your own combination makes this weighted lap pillow a thoughtful choice for someone special. Please be aware that personalised items are non-returnable.

A little board for active play and balance challenges

Bring movement into playtime with the GOOD WOOD Balance Board / Trick Board for Kids. This compact wooden board invites children to explore balance, shift their weight and practise controlled movements through play.

Turn a movement break into a playful challenge: find your balance, notice how the board responds and try again at your own pace. Its small size makes it a practical addition to a home play area or sensory activity space.

Explore balance and body awareness

Balancing activities give children opportunities to practise coordination and notice how changes in body position affect movement. Introduce the board gradually and adapt activities to the child's confidence, abilities and sensory preferences.

Compact plywood construction

Made from 18 mm thick plywood, the board measures 49 × 20 cm and weighs 1.2 kg. Its compact format is easy to move between activities and store when playtime is over.

Choosing activities for your child

This board is intended for children who are ready to explore balance challenges and understand their own movement capabilities. Choose activities according to the individual child rather than height alone.

Space and supervised use

Discover shapes through hands-on play

Turn lines and patterns into a creative adventure with the Wooden Montessori Geoplan. This hands-on learning resource invites children to explore shapes, experiment with symmetry and discover how different designs fit together.

Start with a simple shape, change part of the design and see what happens. From free exploration to a shared geometry challenge, the geoplan offers opportunities to try ideas, compare results and create something new.

Fine motor practice and sensory exploration

Creating designs on the geoplan gives children opportunities to practise precise hand movements and hand-eye coordination. Combining touch, movement and visual exploration makes shape play a practical, hands-on experience.

Make early geometry playful

Explore familiar shapes, compare their sides and look for matching patterns. As understanding grows, introduce symmetry, similarity, perimeter and area through activities suited to the child's abilities.

Ideas for creative learning

• Create a shape and describe its sides and corners.
• Make a pattern, then try a different version.
• Explore symmetrical designs and matching halves.

A multisensory adventure with every step

Create a trail of textures with this five-panel Multisensory Wooden Sensory Path. Combining rope, smooth wooden inserts and a panel with holes for adding suitable balls, the set invites children to explore touch, movement and visual patterns through play.

Arrange the panels into a path or supervised obstacle course, then pause along the way to discover how each surface feels. Change the layout to introduce a new route, share ideas and turn everyday movement into an imaginative adventure.

Tactile discovery through hands and feet

Explore the contrast between smooth wood and ropes with different patterns and thicknesses. Begin by feeling the panels with hands, then introduce supervised barefoot exploration at a pace that feels comfortable for the user.

The panel with holes can be used with suitable rubber, anti-stress or tennis balls to introduce another texture. Balls are not listed among the set contents.

Balance and vestibular exploration

Stepping between panels, shifting body weight and changing direction offer opportunities to explore balance and movement, bringing vestibular context into multisensory play. Children can practise planning their next step and noticing their body position as they move.

Keep activities appropriate to each user's abilities and sensory preferences. Start with a simple floor-level route and offer support where needed.

Five panels to arrange and explore

• One panel with holes for suitable balls.
• Two panels with smooth raised wooden inserts.
• Two rope panels with different rope patterns and thicknesses.

Each panel has underside stabilisers designed to help position it on the GOOD WOOD ladder and provide its height. The path can be used separately or with a compatible GOOD WOOD ladder, following the manufacturer's setup instructions. A ladder is not included in the listed set contents.
