Weighted Blankets

Weighted Blankets can be an aid to deep pressure touch stimulation (DPTS). This is believed to release a chemical in the brain, which naturally calms. They can be used to provide a calming soothing effect for almost any agitated person. Research internationally has demonstrated that a weight of 5-10% of a persons body weight is effective in relaxing or creating a feeling of calm.

Our Weighted Blanket inserts are made out of a heavy cotton calico insert covered with 100% Cotton Drill covers. Ties in the corners secure the insert to the cover and ensure that the weight stays spread evenly across the blanket. Part of the weight is evenly distributed with sewn in pockets while extra weights can be added or removed from velcro closing pockets. The covers are also closed by velcro.

Note that these blankets should never be used as a restraint, the user should not feel trapped by the Weighted Blanket.

Washable Weighted Blankets -

The weighted material in weighted blankets is normally rice - which means while the covers can be washed the inserts can not. We have sourced special washable pellets which will replace the rice in our future blankets. This means that every part of our Weighted Blankets will be washable.
