Protac® BallBase is a sensory-stimulating mattress pad with integrated balls that can be discretely used on ordinary beds, on hospital beds and in sensory rooms. It gives the user calming sensory stimulation for the whole body during rest and sleep and can be used by children, teenagers, adults and elderly people. The mattress pad has both a soft and an extra soft side to accommodate two different needs and preferences.
People with a sensory disorder often find it hard to calm down, to sense their own body and to fall asleep at night. The balls in the mattress pad and their dynamic touch pressure on the body stimulate the muscle-and-joints-sense and the sense of touch and send calming signals to the brain. This enhances the body perception and provides peace for body and mind. For the caretaker, the mattress pad is very convenient, since it provides the user with calming sensory stimulation in a normal bed and can help both users and staff in situations of treatment, conversations and massage.
Usage and design
Protac® BallBase can be used for nighttime sleeping and for naps and rest during the day in e.g. institutions, residence center, day care center and hospitals. In schools, the mattress pad can be used in the classroom or in e.g. sensory room or library. In private homes, it can be used in bed, in the children’s room or the living room. Protac® BallBase can be used with or instead of the Protac Ball Blanket®.
The mattress pad comes with either 38 mm or 50 mm balls, that due to their sizes give the user different sensory input. Both models come in the wide of 90 cm or 140 cm. The 90 cm model suits a regular single bed whereas the 140 cm model suits a bigger bed or a large air mattress. This combination is optimal to install in a sensory room.
For both sizes, an incontinence cover is available. The cover has a zipper that makes it easy to put on the mattress pad and taped seams to avoid the mattress from getting wet or dirty.
Protac® BallBase is produced from OEKO-TEX®-certified cotton
