The weighted blanket is perfect for children who have trouble relaxing, are anxious, or have trouble sleeping. Give your child the soothing experience they deserve, and let them fall asleep every night under the comforting embrace of our weighted blanket.

Our weighted blankets are made of high-quality materials. They have loops so that you can attach it to a duvet cover with cords. But you can also use them as they are and wash them.

What weight weighted blanket is suitable for my child?

The correct weight for a weighted blanket depends on the person who will be using the weight blanket. In general, it is recommended that a weighted blanket weighs about 10% of the person’s body weight. For children, you may want to consult with a health professional or therapist to determine the appropriate weight, as this can vary depending on factors such as age, size, and any specific needs. Our blankets are recommended for children between the ages of 8 -14 years. When using it, make sure that your child is able to put the blanket away on their own.
