Squash Tubes - Proprioceptive Squeeze Rocker

Ready to Explore

Lie down. Sink in. Feel the squash.

The Squash Tubes turn your own body weight into soft, evenly distributed pressure. Two large inflatable rollers connect with an elasticated hammock between them. As you settle onto the hammock, your weight draws the rollers inward. The air inside pushes gently back, creating a slow and satisfying deep-pressure sensory experience.

How much squash? That's partly up to you.

Two adjustable straps change how deeply your body settles between the rollers. Keep them tighter and you stay closer to the top. Loosen them and the hammock drops farther between the tubes. As you sink deeper, the rollers wrap farther around your body and the squeeze increases.

No heavy weights are required. The Squash Tubes use your own body weight and air pressure to create the experience.

And there's more to discover than squeezing.

Shift your weight and the Squash Tubes can begin to rock. Roll from your back toward your side and the whole experience changes. Move again and you may tip into another stable position. Can you shift yourself back to centre? It becomes part deep-pressure tool, part body-awareness activity and part Squash Rocker.

This combination invites exploration of proprioceptive input, movement, balance and body position. It also gives users an opportunity to discover how different positions and levels of pressure feel.

Use the Squash Tubes in sensory rooms, occupational therapy spaces, classrooms or at home. They offer an alternative to traditional weighted sensory products for people who enjoy pressure, squeezing, rocking or feeling more enclosed.

Sometimes you want a little pressure. Sometimes you want more squash.

With the Squash Tubes, your body helps decide.

Take a Closer Look

Two soft inflatable rollers connect with a strong elasticated hammock. The user's weight pulls the rollers inward while the compressed air gently pushes back.

Two adjustable straps let you change the depth of the hammock and the amount of squeeze. Movement and weight shifting can also rock or tip the Squash Tubes between stable positions.

Soft, inflatable and wonderfully unusual, they create opportunities for deep pressure, proprioceptive exploration, rocking, body awareness and movement in one sensory tool.

Good to Know

Adjust the straps before and during supervised use to explore different positions and levels of pressure. Changes should be gradual and guided by the comfort and preference of the person using the Squash Tubes.

Remove footwear before use. Keep sharp objects, jewellery and anything that could puncture or damage the inflatable rollers away from the product.

As with all sensory equipment, preferences vary. Some people actively seek pressure and compression, while others prefer much less. Give the user opportunities to communicate, reposition or leave the equipment whenever they choose.
