A LETTER FROM A CUSTOMER...

My 3 year old son, Porter, has autism. His therapist suggested we get him a love sac. The thought was he could jump into it and have the feeling of deep pressure and feel and be safe. Porter now jumps from high places into the love sac. His face lights up and his physical tantrums and aggravation are at ease. It helps to center his body so he can function at a better pace. Porter also likes to put his legs under the love sac for pressure. Another great therapy for him is to hit the love sac instead of hitting himself. The love sac has really helped in my son’s therapy. I am so impressed how he has taken to it.

Thank you love sac!!! J

Amanda,

I can't tell you how happy this makes me.  One funny thing about LoveSac is, that it really does make people's lives more comfortable.  That's our company's slogan, actually, "Making people's lives more comfortable."  It runs a lot deeper than just a cushy seat.  It is cool to see people like Porter truly live this sentiment.  Whether it's helping a 16 year old high-school kid feel that much cooler for having the "real deal," thereby getting him his first kiss, thereby increasing his self esteem...whether it is hiring somebody in the mall for their first job - giving someone a chance, or whether it is a child like Porter, who's life is actually made a little better by this silly invention we call LoveSac....I am just glad to be a part of it.  There are many reasons that LoveSac should have failed long ago, but somehow we have weathered every storm for 10 years now, and I believe we have not yet even really hit stride. 

But, in the mean-time, we do what we can to help when we can....which isn't a lot.  But, someday, I hope it will be.  I am SUPER glad to hear Porter is doing well, and I wish you only the best in your battle with autism, and getting comfortable or sitting comfortably.  Maybe the LoveSac is a sort of therapy tool....an instrument for the development of autistic children.  Or maybe it's just a bag of shredded Durafoam.  Either way, I'm glad it seems to help.  My first child, a baby girl, is due in one month from now, and I can only the imagine the stress and pressure of caring for a child - especially with a condition like autism.  LoveSac loves you.

Keep the faith.

A later email from Amanda:

We do have a cover but we got it 2 days after taking the pictures, and it was really difficult to retake the pics with Porter. If we get more pictures we will be sure to send them. Porter now sleeps on the love sac at night, and it has been the best he has ever slept!

My 7 year old has sensory integration dysfunction - do you think the pillow sac would be as effective as the traditional love sac? what are the foam densities on the pillow sac vs the traditional shape?

Thanks!

No Way! Matt Cropper's son is autistic and he would beg his parents to come to my house, All he wanted to do the whole time was play on our love sac. We would run into it, jump on it, chill on it etc... The odds of having an autistic child are 1 out of 125.
