Protac SenSack®
Sensory-stimulating sleeping bag
Protac Sensack® is a sensory-stimulating sleeping bag with 25 mm balls in the upper part. The deep pressure touch of the balls provide sensory stimuli to the body and help to increase body awareness of the user - just like the Protac Ball Blanket®. Protac Sensack® wriggles smoothly around the body and contributes to comfort and rest for the user. Children, teenagers, adults, and elderly can benefit from using Protac Sensack®. The physical demarcation in the sleeping bag can also provide strengthened support for users who suffer from anxiety.
Protac SenSack® can be used while you sleep, but also during the day for a sensory-stimulating and relaxing break. Protac SenSack® can be used in institutions, psychiatric institutions, private homes, etc. It is easy to bring the sleeping bag on overnight and weekend trips, and it is designed to look like a regular sleeping bag. The sleeping bag is dark blue and made of a soft and comfortable material (polyester). To ensure an easy usage, Protac SenSack® is supplied by zippers in both sides making it possible to fully open the sleeping bag and furthermore it is possible to open from the bottom for an easy adjustment of the temperature. Further to this, Protac SenSack® is furnished with a layer of Clima Star, for an active temperature regulation and a filling of polyester to make sure that the sleeping bag is soft and comfortable to sleep in.

The pillow in the sleeping bag is designed to be used either as a hood and contribute to extra demarcation, or as a small pillow for an even better comfort. Furthermore, there is an elastic string at the top making it possible to close the sleeping bag entirely. The sleeping bag is equipped with zippers on both sides, which can be opened both from the top and bottom of the bag.
Protac Sensack®
is delivered in a transportable bag with a strap to carry it easily. An outdoor cover for the sleeping bag can be bought for outdoor rehabilitation. The sleeping bag exists in Small, Medium and Large.
The design of Protac Sensack® is patent pending.

CASES
Equal terms provide more quality of life
As a mother, I have experienced that the Protac-sleeping bag has resulted in a more calm and present behavior for my son. In situations where he previously felt insecure and restless, the sleeping bag makes him feel safe and calm – especially in situations outside our own home. It is very helpful that the Protac Sensack® is easy to bring along and it has made it possible for our son to participate in sleep-over events equally with his friends – this means the world to his quality of life.

Relaxation and mental energy
I lay in the Protac SenSack® when I return from school to relax with my computer. The moving balls in the sleeping bag and the fact that the sleeping bag embraces me, make my body and mind relax. After half an hour, I feel ready to focus on homework, sports, family, and friends.

Safe charging station
“We see that the Protac SenSack® is used as a charging station for our daughter in the afternoon and after she started that, it is possible for her to participate in more daily activities with family and friends. The sleeping bag physically embraces her body and it gives her security, comfort and new energy.

Security to sleep tight
The dynamic sensory input from the balls in the Protac Sensack® provides the body with the calm feeling it needs to fall asleep and the enveloping shape gives our boy a sense of security and physical demarcation of his body. We find that Daniel falls asleep more easily now, he rarely wakes up at night and he feels rested and re-energised in the morning.
(Parents to an 11-year-old boy with ADHD)
Social participation despite anxiety
When going for a camp, our son had a melt-down and was afraid to go and concerned about being able to fit in. He accepted to try the Protac SenSack® and he could immediately feel calming effect. He instantly liked it, especially because it gave him comfort and still looks like the sleeping bag of his friends. The camp turned out to be a great success - a proud and happy boy came home. We expected him to be tired, but he had slept tightly in the sleeping bag and had also used it during daytime to ‘charge his social battery’ as he said.
