A gentle, grounding weight across the lap The Weighted Lap Pad rests over the lap and gives a calm, reassuring weight that helps the body settle. At 2.3kg, the weight is sewn evenly through the pad, so it stays put and feels steady, never lumpy. One side has soft textured bumps to run your fingers over, the other is smooth and quilted. Why people reach for it A little weight can be wonderfully calming. Resting the pad on your lap gives a settled, anchored feeling that makes it easier to focus, wind down or sit still for longer. It suits all sorts of people, from adults at a desk or on the couch to students at their books and kids at homework, and it is a quiet, discreet comfort you can use just about anywhere. How to use it Lay it across your lap while working, reading, studying or relaxing. Run your hands over the textured side or rest them on the smooth quilted side. To clean, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then let it air dry.
