Having the right sensory tools for calming an anxious or distressed individual can help them to begin to self-regulate their emotions and soothe themselves. At Experia UK, we offer various tools to ensure that your users get the best sensory experience possible, sold individually and in bundles.

How Do Sensory Tools for Calming Work?


Put yourself in the shoes of an individual trying to cope with sensory overload. The world might be too bright or too loud, with everything trying to pull your focus in any number of different directions. It's not only deeply unpleasant but can be physically painful as well.

The main goal of sensory tools for calming is to create an environment wherein the individual feels comfortable and safe and can process their thoughts and emotions. 

These tools can be useful for people with autism or sensory processing disorder (SPD) because they allow them to either remove themselves entirely from an overstimulating environment or change an overwhelming part of that room. This can prevent or help an individual recover from a meltdown.

What Sensory Tools for Calming Are Available?

You could use sensory tools for calming as part of a larger calming sensory room or as individual products. What matters to the individual is offering them the right tools to help them out of the agitated state.

To turn any room into a more calming space, we recommend using calming lighting or installing one of our fibre optic carpets. Turn off the overhead lights if you have them to make a big difference to sensory input.

Wrapping up in a cosy and calming weighted blanket can also help ground users, reduce anxiety, and provide a type of symbolic shield from the overwhelming environment. The effects of a calming weighted blanket aren't restricted to those who struggle with sensory processing – many people find them a useful tool for getting better sleep.

We also offer a range of bubble tubes that provide a comforting sound from the bubbles running through as well as cycling lights and mesmerising movement. 

For a personalised experience, Experia's IRiS range is a wireless technology that allows the user to control certain products (known as 'listeners') with a remote control or 'talker'. This means that they can choose which lights or sounds fill the room for maximum comfort.


Sensory tools for calming can make a huge difference to someone with sensory processing difficulties, whether used as individual products within a multi-sensory room or as part of a dedicated calming sensory room.
