Protac Ball Blanket

A research-backed, sensory-stimulating weighted blanket filled with specially designed internal plastic balls. It works by applying deep, dynamic touch-pressure to the body's touch and muscle-joint senses (proprioception). This sensory input mimics an enveloping embrace, lowering stress levels in the brain and body to alleviate sleep disorders, anxiety, hyperactivity, and motor unrest. It is highly utilized for individuals with ADHD, autism, dementia, brain injuries, and psychiatric disorders.

• Specifications:

  • Core Variations:

    • Calm Model: Designed with the balls sewn tightly into longitudinal channels. This keeps the balls fixed in place to deliver a predictable, uniform, and gentle weight over the entire body. It is ideal for individuals with tactile shyness, environmental hypersensitivity, or extreme sound sensitivity.

    • Flexible Model: Features modular pockets with removable inner bags. The balls are spaced further apart so they can roll and shift dynamically under movement. This provides a variable, high-stimulation sensory input ideal for individuals who struggle to stay still or have poor proprioception.

    • Classic Model: A specialized psychiatric-grade configuration featuring non-removable inner ball compartments. It is sealed without zippers to prevent dismantling or user disassembly.

    • Granulate Model: A lighter-weight variation featuring pockets filled with miniature polypropylene granule balls, engineered to provide a much milder, softer sensory input.

  • Ball Dimensions: 1.5-inch (38 mm) balls for Junior variants and Calm models; 2.0-inch (50 mm) balls for Adult Flexible and Classic models.

  • Available Weights:

    • Adult Size: Approximately 15 lbs (7 kg) to 24 lbs (11 kg) depending on model configuration
