As a pediatric physical therapist, I've seen firsthand the benefits of weighted products for children with sensory processing disorders and other challenges. These tools provide calming deep touch pressure, helping kids regulate their nervous systems and improve focus. However, traditional weighted blankets, vests, and other products often have limitations. They can be bulky, inflexible, hard to wash and don't always target specific areas of the body that crave input.
This experience, combined with my own need for deep pressure to relax and sleep, sparked an idea. I often slept on my stomach with my arms tucked under me, seeking pressure on my torso and head. It dawned on me that many of my students also sought similar input - on their shoulders, chest, belly, thighs, and head.
Existing weighted products simply couldn't offer the versatility and targeted pressure my students and I needed. That's why I created Calmily, a weighted pillow designed to provide deep pressure therapy in various ways.
Inspired by the weighted blanket concept, the Calmily Pillow offers more direct and focused pressure for relaxation and calming. Traditional blankets pool their weight at the edges, leaving your body with only 1/3 of the weight on your body. The Calmily Pillow, on the other hand, provides targeted pressure exactly where you need it for optimal comfort. And because the filling is designed to conform, the overall weight feels evenly distributed and pleasantly light.
Here's what makes the Calmily Pillow unique:
*Graded Weight Distribution: Target specific areas of the body with individualize input. *Soft, squishable surface: Provides gentle compression and conforms to your unique shape. *Versatile design: Use it on your head, neck, shoulders, chest, belly, thighs, or legs. *Promotes relaxation and calming: Deep pressure therapy helps regulate the nervous system and improve focus.
The Calmily is more than just a weighted pillow; it's a customizable tool for relaxation and sensory input. Whether you're a child with sensory processing challenges, an adult seeking stress relief, or someone simply looking for a better night's sleep, the Calmily Pillow can help you find the comfort and calm you deserve.
