In the first year of life, a child’s world is defined by tactile boundaries. Before they can parse language or distance, they understand texture.
The Proprioceptive Benefit
Softness isn’t just about comfort; it’s about “Safety Signals.” When a baby interacts with a high-pile rug or a plush organic cotton throw, their nervous system receives signals of stability.
Home Interior Integration
When selecting “fluff” for the home, we recommend the 3-Texture Rule:
- The Base: A low-pile wool rug for stability.
- The Accent: A bouclé or shearling chair for tactile interest.
- The Layer: A muslin or cashmere drape to soften the natural light.
