Have you seen those snuggle chairs and sensory beanbags such as Kloudsac that sell for hundreds of dollars? Well after a bit of research, I found what they are filled with and I am planning on filling mine with the same sensory soft filling
for more sensory dependant child.
Make sure if you are making your own sensory ones that you use the correct foam as listed above shredded memory foam. You can then fill any styled beanbag to create your own cloud pillow. Choosing a beanbag that is oversized (so you can sink into it) is highly recommended. Imagine when you sit on it, the foam has to have somewhere to go.
How is it that this article completely skipped cotton fillers? And bamboo? I almost expected the bamboo, because it’s new, but omitting cotton? That’s a pretty big oversight. I’d certainly choose cotton for a pillow filling over shredded rubber (which was included).
