Sensory Hugging Pods

Description

Whether you are seeking sensory feedback or just enjoy a snuggly spot to read a book, Comfy Peapod Inflatable Sensory Pods from Bouncyband offer a unique calming experience!

Each Peapod comes with an electric air pump for a quick fill. The material feels just like an air mattress with a soft and velvety flocked finish. It is heavyweight and durable. The bottom inflates separately from the sides.

Children with autism often find themselves overstimulated, and the pressure of the Peapod offers secure comfort. Shaped like a canoe, the pod provides a cozy spot to read or regain your focus.

Some ADHD children find they are able to focus better on a task when sitting in their Peapod. For example, if a parent is doing a family read-aloud, certain children may find they can listen better when snuggled in their pod.

Available in Blue (deep royal navy) or Green (bright minty seafoam).
