The Mellow Mat v2® Designer Print | Regalia (Soft Touch Sensory Tatami Rug) PR04 is a therapeutic sensory mat designed to support sensory processing, self-regulation, and physical comfort. Its features can be leveraged within occupational therapy interventions to address a variety of needs.

Therapeutic Benefits:

• Sensory Modulation & Integration: The soft-touch surface and tatami-style texture provide varied tactile input, promoting sensory regulation and grounding techniques for individuals with sensory processing differences. This can be particularly beneficial for those seeking calming or alerting input. The specific texture and feel of the Regalia print may offer a unique sensory experience compared to other prints, allowing for individualized sensory preferences. The visual design of the Regalia print, often characterized by rich colors and intricate patterns, might offer a visually stimulating yet potentially organizing focal point, depending on the individual.
• Proprioceptive & Deep Pressure Input: The cushioned support offers gentle compression and pressure relief for joints and muscles, which can enhance body awareness (proprioception) and promote relaxation. This can be helpful for individuals with proprioceptive challenges or those seeking comfort. The level of cushioning may be a consideration for specific proprioceptive needs.
• Emotional Regulation & Mindfulness: The mat can be incorporated into calming strategies, including yoga, mindfulness exercises, and restorative rest, supporting the development of self-soothing techniques and emotional regulation skills. The aesthetic of the Regalia print, with its potentially regal and elegant design, might be particularly suitable for creating a designated space for relaxation and self-care.

Ideal For:

• Therapy Settings & Sensory Rooms: The mat is a valuable tool within occupational therapy sessions to address goals related to self-regulation, relaxation, and body awareness. It can define a designated space for calming activities or provide a comfortable surface for therapeutic exercises. The Regalia print could be specifically chosen for its visual appeal within a sensory room design, perhaps for clients who respond well to rich colors and detailed patterns.
• Home Environments: The Mellow Mat v2® can create a designated safe and comforting space within the home for individuals who benefit from sensory grounding and tactile feedback. It can support the generalization of skills learned in therapy. The Regalia print may be a better fit for a particular home's decor or the individual's aesthetic preferences, especially if a more traditional or formal style is desired.  
• Mindfulness & Movement Activities: The mat can be utilized to encourage postural stability, promote deep breathing, and enhance focus during gentle movement practices. It can provide a tactile cue for the beginning and end of activities. The visual elements of the Regalia print can be incorporated into movement activities, such as focusing on specific elements of the design during stretches or mindful movement.

The Mellow Mat v2® is a versatile tool that can enhance sensory comfort, support emotional regulation, and facilitate relaxation. Its design, including the specific Regalia print, makes it suitable for use in therapeutic settings, sensory-friendly spaces, and home-based self-care routines. The choice of print allows for some personalization based on individual needs and preferences, with the Regalia print potentially offering a sense of structure and visual interest.
