Sensory-Friendly Hammocks
Create a Calming Space with Simply Hammocks
At Simply Hammocks, we understand the value of creating spaces that support sensory needs and promote relaxation. Sensory-friendly environments can play a vital role in improving focus, reducing stress, and fostering emotional well-being, particularly for individuals with autism or sensory processing challenges. Hammocks, with their gentle swinging motion, offer a unique way to create such a space.
According to research conducted at Thomas Jefferson University, rhythmic movements, such as those experienced when swinging in a hammock, have been shown to reduce self-stimulatory behaviors and promote calmness. This calming effect is ideal for individuals seeking sensory integration or looking for a peaceful retreat. The cocoon-like embrace of a hammock also provides a sense of safety and comfort, making it an excellent addition to a sensory-friendly environment.
