A Squish Mat is a soft, pressure-responsive sensory surface designed to give the child tactile and proprioceptive feedback during active play or therapeutic activities.
Depending on the model, it may contain:
-
Soft, flexible or gel/liquid-filled sections
-
Raised bumps, bubbles or textured surfaces
-
Different tactile patterns
-
Non-slip backing
-
Durable, wipe-clean outer material
Some liquid sensory mats respond to pressing or stepping by producing movement of coloured liquid, providing simultaneous visual + tactile feedback.
Safety Features
A good-quality Squish Mat should ideally have:
-
Non-slip base to minimise slipping during standing activities.
-
Durable sealed construction to prevent leakage or tearing.
-
Child-safe/non-toxic materials, particularly when used with young children.
-
No small detachable components, reducing choking risk.
-
Rounded/soft edges where applicable.
-
Easy-to-clean surface for infection control in clinics.
-
Adequate weight-bearing capacity appropriate to the manufacturer's specification.
-
Regular inspection for punctures, leakage, cracks, loose sections or deterioration.
Important OT Safety Precautions
For clinical use, I would recommend:
Always supervise the child, particularly during standing, jumping or balance activities. Manufacturers of sensory mats similarly recommend adult supervision and regular inspection for wear and tear.
Avoid using it:
-
On a wet/slippery floor.
-
If there is visible leakage or damage.
-
For children who may bite or deliberately puncture the material.
-
As a replacement for a stable surface when a child has significant fall risk.
-
With excessive jumping/impact unless the product is specifically designed for it.
