Materials & Construction
The softee koosh ball is made from 100% natural rubber that’s been specially formulated to be latex-free and hypoallergenic. Each ball contains more than 2,000 individual rubber filaments, hand-tied at the core to create that signature pom-pom shape.
We use a proprietary rubber blend that’s 15% softer than our classic Koosh ball formulas, giving the Softee its gentle squish and quiet bounce. The filaments measure approximately 1.5 inches long, creating a total diameter of around 3 inches when fully expanded. Because we mold each strand from solid rubber rather than hollow tubes, the Softee Koosh Ball maintains its shape even after years of play.
Sensory Benefits & Uses
Tactile Stimulation
The softee koosh ball offers thousands of contact points across its surface, making it an excellent tool for sensory seekers. Occupational therapists often recommend Koosh balls for children who benefit from tactile input, and the Softee’s gentler texture is particularly well-suited for sensory-sensitive individuals.
Stress Relief & Fidgeting
Adults love the Softee Koosh Ball as a desktop stress reliever. The quiet squish won’t disturb coworkers, and the ball’s resilience means it bounces back to shape instantly after each squeeze. Many of our customers keep one at their desk, in the car, or in a bag for moments when they need a calming tactile outlet.
Size & Grip Comfort
At 3 inches in diameter, the Softee Koosh Ball fits comfortably in most hands without feeling too small or bulky. Children as young as three can grip it easily, and the lightweight 1.2-ounce construction means even extended play won’t tire little hands.
The filaments compress when squeezed, allowing the ball to conform to your grip. This compression also makes the softee koosh ball easier to catch than a traditional rubber ball — the strands create friction against your palm, so it won’t slip through fingers as easily. We’ve found this makes it a confidence-building toy for kids learning hand-eye coordination.

Softee Koosh Ball Questions
Yes, the softee koosh ball is made from natural rubber that's been processed to remove latex proteins. We specifically formulated this version to be hypoallergenic and safe for children with latex sensitivities.
However, if your child has a severe rubber allergy of any kind, we recommend consulting with your pediatrician before purchasing. The ball contains no PVC, phthalates, or BPA.
The Softee uses a rubber blend that's approximately 15% softer than our Original Koosh Ball formula. This creates a gentler bounce and quieter impact, making it better suited for indoor play and younger children.
Both versions have over 2,000 filaments and the same 3-inch diameter. If you want more energetic outdoor bounce and catch games, the Original Koosh Ball is the better choice. For sensory play, fidgeting, and calm indoor use, the softee koosh ball is ideal.
The Softee Koosh Ball is water-safe and can be used in pools or bathtubs. The natural rubber won't absorb water or become waterlogged.
After water play, shake off excess moisture and allow the ball to air-dry completely before storing. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for extended periods, as UV exposure can eventually degrade the rubber. The ball will sink in water rather than float.
We recommend the softee koosh ball for ages 3 and up. The ball has no small parts that can detach, and the soft rubber construction is gentle enough for toddlers learning to catch and throw.
Many adults also use Softee Koosh Balls as stress relievers and desk fidget tools. The simple, durable design means there's no upper age limit — if you enjoy tactile stimulation, the Softee Koosh works beautifully at any age.
All Softee Koosh Ball colors use the same soft rubber formula and construction — performance is identical across colors. Choose based purely on personal preference or visibility needs.
Bright colors like orange and pink are easier to spot if the ball rolls under furniture. Darker colors like purple may show less visible dirt over time. We use colorfast rubber pigments that won't bleed or fade with regular use and washing.
The filaments on the softee koosh ball are extremely durable and tied securely at the core. With normal play, you shouldn't experience any breakage or strand loss.
If a single filament does break after extended use, the remaining 2,000+ strands will continue to provide the full Koosh experience. The rubber's natural flexibility and our secure core-tying method mean the ball maintains its shape and function for years. We've had customers report Koosh balls lasting 5+ years with daily use.
Yes, we offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee on all Koosh Ball purchases. If the Softee isn't what you expected, you can return it for a full refund or exchange it for a different Koosh Ball style.
The ball should be in clean, like-new condition for returns. We'll provide a prepaid return label once you initiate the return through our customer service team. Most customers find the softee koosh ball meets or exceeds expectations, but we want you to be completely happy with your purchase.
