I disagree, it seems like it would be very very comfy and possibly quite stimmy too especially useful for some neurodivergent people.

What does "stimmy" mean? Sounds like Timmy but S.

Stimmy (adjective): Pertaining to or characteristic of objects used for stimming—repetitive movements or actions that neurodiverse individuals engage in to self-regulate or provide sensory input. Stimmy objects, such as fidget spinners, stress balls, or textured toys, help individuals manage sensory needs, reduce anxiety, and improve focus.
