Sooothing Stories: Trudy & The Lizzie Lap Cushion

Here’s Trudy testing our stress-relieving Lizzie Lap Cushion

Our customers are the heart and soul of Sooothe.

We enjoy hearing from them about their experiences with our comforters, and the ways in which they bring them moments of calm.

Meet Trudy. Trudy is currently training as a therapist. As someone who has been on both sides of the therapy room, as a patient and a counsellor, we were keen to hear about her experiences with our products. She is kind, thoughtful, and an absolute delight to talk with.

What product have you been using?

“I have been using the stress-relieving Lizzie Lap Cushion for about a month now and I absolutely love it.”

How do you use it?

I use my Lap Cushion as part of my therapy sessions, both as a client and counsellor. I really enjoy the weight and tactile nature of it. My favourite part of the design is the soft patches that I like to stroke when I need grounding. During my training sessions, I rest it on my lap and press it down onto my legs to soothe myself.

How does the Lizzie Lap Cushion help you?

I can be pretty fidgety and restless at times, so having something to fiddle with, especially when concentrating during long training sessions, can be really helpful.

It will also be really helpful as a counsellor. When a client is feeling distressed, it would be so lovely if I could hand them a product like this that would actively soothe them and help them feel safe, instead of handing over the usual box of tissues.

How do you feel about having comforters designed especially for adults?

I love it! It’s normal for children to have comforters, but when they get to a certain age it’s not as common - why can’t adults have something to comfort them too? With the difficult times we’re living through, and anxiety on the rise, we could definitely all do with some comfort.

“Adults need something to comfort them too.”

What features would you like added to The Lizzie Lap Cushion to improve the experience for you?

Heat! Having something warm to hold, especially if you’re in a cold room during a therapy session, would be absolutely wonderful.

I’d also like the cushion to be customisable. Perhaps a more simple and pared-back design with a special word that means a lot to me embroidered where I could see and trace my fingers over it.

What word would you choose?

I would choose the word “believe” because it means a lot to me.
