What Parents Say

My son uses it every night. He climbs in, curls up, and you can see him relax within minutes. It’s part of our bedtime now
Izabella B
It’s beautiful, super durable, and the washable cover is a game changer. It looks amazing in our home, and the kids love it

This is the first thing that actually calms him without a fight. The relief we feel as parents is hard to describe
Designed with A therapist, the canoe gently squeezes and soothes, helping kids regulate their bodies and feel more settled.
Whether they’re curling up inside, rocking gently, or using it for sensory breaks, this is a seat designed for comfort, calm, and fun.
Built by a Dad—with Love
This started with a dad trying to help his son feel calm—in a world that often felt too loud, too much. So we created something that gives back that sense of calm.
Not just a canoe. A new way to feel held. A new kind of calm.
When the world overwhelms, this becomes a place to land. The gentle squeeze. The deep pressure. The way it steadies your system.
When you bring it into your home, you’re saying: “My child deserves to feel safe in their body. And I want to give them that.”
Lets get into the details
Built by a dad, an OT, and a designer who cared about every inch.

Customer Reviews
Great product! The outer cover coming off for cleaning is one of the features that drew us to this and the sturdiness of the actual canoe far exceeds anything we’ve found anywhere else. No leaks at all, and it makes for a cozy spot for our kiddo to rest.
We purchased the canoe for our son’s sixth birthday! I cannot recommend it enough! The material is so soft, and it really gives that “tight hug” feeling that our little guy loves! He has been hanging in it watching his shows, snuggling with a blanket while he has tablet time, and even created a little game where he acts like he’s in water in a real canoe! This company is amazing and I promise, your special kiddo will love this product as much as our guy does!
Love it. so cozy and the washable cover is so convenient. better then expected
We absolutely love our CalmWave Sensory Canoe! The quality is excellent, the velour cover is soft and cozy, and the pressure hug effect is incredibly calming. My child uses it for reading, relaxing, and sensory breaks. I’ve even climbed in a few times myself. Yes, it’s that comfortable. It instantly helps create a sense of calm and grounding in our home. Worth every penny!
Amazing quality and super functional! We have several products from Manymindsco and all have exceeded our expectatios! Our neurotypical and neurodiverent children love them!!
