Special Supplies Sensory Bed Sheet for Kids Compression Alternative to Weighted Blankets - Breathable, Stretchy - Cool, Comfortable Sleeping Bedding -Blue (Twin)

Is this annoying to put on and take off the mattress? YES! Would I do it every single day if I have to just to make my son with autism sleep this good? YES!!!!!! Just buy this thing and I hope it works for you as well as it does for us. I just ordered a second one so I can have a backup. My son was complaining of back pain and not sleeping well and this along with a children’s cervical support pillow have been amazing.

This is wonderful. We call it the “hug sheet” and it has been life changing for our sleep now that my autistic son actually sleeps through the night. I slept in his bed one night with the sheet and fell asleep almost instantly. I want one now for my bed!

I've had this product for almost 6 months for my now 3-year-old son. He has sensory touch problems and began waking up every night. To put it simply, he and I barely slept for a solid 3 months. I was literally a walking zombie all day, and he was a nightmare all day. We tried adjusting his bedtime routine, melatonin per his pediatrician, a weighted blanket, thunder shirt, and as a last resort, I started to sleep with him. His OT mentioned this compression sheet as an option, so I decided to try it. The cost seemed steep to me, but what is sleep worth?! I felt like I had a newborn again, but so much worse due to behavior issues, developmental delays, night terrors, and sleepwalking. I had to explain what we went through to get to this point, but here are the pros and cons.Con's: • it isn't easy to put on his bed, but definitely doable (it IS supposed to be tight after all). It's like a tube that you have to stretch over the entire bed. I have to lift his mattress to get it on correctly. Although raising the mattress works best for me doesn't mean that's the best way for everyone to do it either.• it can snag easily, but consider the material it's made out of to work as it shouldPro's: • he no longer wiggles around all night long from the top of his bed to the foot of his bed, nor does he fall out of bed.• he sleeps ALL night long since day 1 with certain exceptions like when he's sick, or he has a night terror or nightmare• he feels safe in his bedroom at night• the material is comfortable and breathableIf you are at your wit's end and don't know what else to do...it is worth a try! Everyone is different, and I can't say it'll work for you or your child, but if you're anything like we were... If it actually works...Does cost matter anymore? Does it matter that it's challenging to put on after you wash it? Absolutely not! My son and I are sleeping every single night, and it's all thanks to this compression sheet, or as my son calls it, his "blue blanket." Side note: don't forget if they need to sleep elsewhere as I did...4 hours away from home. My husband went home during our vacation so that we could all sleep again and not have to go home early from our vacation solely due to not having this sheet. What do you have to lose? Just try it! 🙂

We bought this for our son who has SPD at the recommendation if his OT to help with sleep. I wish I would have bought one years ago. It’s a pretty light compression and my son finds it very comfortable. In warmer months we don't use a blanket with it because it doesn't breathe extremely well.I have found that the elasticity around the opening is beginning to give but I just make sure to rotate it on the mattress after each wash.I do wish the compression was a little tighter because it's too hot to use a weighted blanket with.

My 7 year old tosses and turns a lot at bedtime. And when the sheets fall off or come undone, he’d come and find me in the middle of the night to fix them. I felt like I had a newborn again. Then I found this product. No more loose sheets! And this gives him just a bit of pressure like a weighted blanket would. At first he thought it weird and said he didn’t like the fabric, but he now sleeps with fuzzy socks that he likes. It takes a bit of wrestling to get the sheet on, but that means it won’t slide off. I know I’m delaying teaching him how to fix his own bed in the middle of the night, but my body is happy to be getting sleep again.

This thing is made of parent’s dreams! And what I mean by that is I finally get to sleep through the night without my son waking a million times ! It’s a miracle for our sensory seeker!

Nice soft pressure of the sheet, works well for my tossing turning rolling kicking sleeper. He seems to get a solid night sleep without waking himself up.The only downside is putting them on after washing is a struggle like tights on after a shower.

My 3 year old daughter has not been diagnosed with autism and does not seem to have sensory issues, but she’s a terrible sleeper. She likes sleeping with just a sheet but would wake up screaming when the sheet came off and she wanted it back on - she suffers from some version of night terrors where she is not able to wake enough to get out of a nightmare, but she also cannot wake enough to adjust her own blanket. I got this hoping it would not come off despite her kicking and rolling around. Well, it worked! On top of that, the compression seems to help with her nightmares too! Over the last week using it our normal 3-6 wake ups a night is down to 1 at most with multiple nights of no wake ups. We’re thrilled!
