Besides the fact that our HappyBag is made of clouds and marshmallows, 95% of the swing itself consists of fleece and the other 5% consists of elastane (spandex). It is a textile fiber, made of polyurethane (PUR) and is very elastic and strong.
Products containing elastane are safe for babies, children and adults when used normally. Safe means that no harmful effects on health are to be expected from the use of products (containing chemical substances). The statement about 'safe' assumes normal use by an average Dutch person.Which size should I choose?
Measure the user before use! The Sensory Body Sock fits best when the user's height is equal to or slightly larger than the length of the Body Sock. If in doubt between two sizes, we recommend a smaller size for optimal compression.

Which size should I choose?
The Sensory Sleep Tunnel fits about two-thirds of the way up a standard mattress. This leaves enough room for your head to extend out the top and your feet to extend out the bottom. An open bottom also makes it easier to install and remove the Sleep Tunnel.
Please note: The standard mattress thickness varies from 15-25 centimeters. Depending on the thickness of your mattress, the Sensory Sleep Tunnel may be slightly tighter or looser.
What are the benefits of a Sensory Sleep Tunnel?
- Improved Sleep - Gives your child a deeper, more restful sleep for more energy and a better mood the next day (so you'll feel better too!).
- Creates an embracing feeling - The sleeping tunnel gives a deep pressure and helps your child to reduce anxiety while sleeping. In addition, the Sleeping Tunnel gives a comfortable feeling so that your child can relax.
- Good alternative to a weighted blanket - A weighted blanket can feel heavy and hot. A safer, cheaper and cooler option is our Sensory Sleeping Tunnel. Our sleeping tunnel is the right size for every age.
- Recommended by top occupational therapists - They know that proprioceptive feedback promotes your child's sensory regulation so that it can organize the input across the body.
- Stays on the bed - Is your child an active sleeper? No problem! The Sleep Tunnel stays on the bed, even when tossing and turning. It provides a compression but at the same time it stretches so that your child still experiences the hugging effect even during a dream fight with dragons!
NB
The sleep tunnel is intended to enhance sensory experiences during sleep. It is not a medical device or a substitute for professional therapy or treatment. Consult a healthcare professional for specific sensory needs or concerns.
After installing the tunnel, you can, if desired, place the duvet back over the tunnel on the bed. When the child or adult goes to sleep, he or she can crawl under the tunnel from the head end, to a comfortable position with the head above the tunnel. The top of the tunnel is deliberately not finished, as this would limit the elasticity of the fabric, and a hem at the top can be perceived as a nuisance by highly sensitive children.
