These weighted lap pads are handmade in Colorado using organic millet (birdseed). The weight for the lap pads is evenly distributed in 5" squares. The removable cover is made of very soft, minke cuddle fabric. One side is blue with dimples, for tactile sensory input, while the other is smooth. The lap pad is washable - the cover is made of 100% polyester and is machine washable and dryable. We recommend handwashing and line-drying the 100% cotton, millet-filed inner liner. It is important to dry thoroughly.

These lap pads are a great addition for occupational therapy and are used for kids with Autism or SPD as a way to provide sensory input and relaxation. The 3 lb pads measure 10" x 15" and the 5 lb pads are 15" x 20".

Richard ★★★★★

The millet squares give it this even, gentle weight that doesn't bunch up in one corner like my old rice-filled pad did. The minke cover is genuinely soft, and I like that I can unzip and wash it after my cat claims it. It's become my default for reading on the couch.

Henry H. ★★★★★

I keep this on my lap during long work calls and the birdseed weight is distributed so evenly I forget it's there until I stand up. The cover unzips and washes clean after my cat claimed it once.

Ava B. ★★★★★

The minke cover is ridiculously soft—I actually fell asleep with this on my lap during a work break. The 5-inch quilting keeps the organic millet from bunching, so it feels perfectly weighted whether I’m on the couch or at my desk.
