Weighted Blankets
Browse our range of weighted blankets to find the style and weight that is right for you. Weighted blankets are blankets that are filled with materials such as plastic pellets or glass beads to add weight to the blanket. They are designed to provide a sensation of deep pressure, similar to being hugged or swaddled, which can have a calming effect on some individuals. Weighted blankets are often used for people with anxiety, insomnia, autism, and other conditions that may benefit from this type of sensory input. The weight of the blanket is usually distributed evenly throughout the blanket and is typically about 10% of the person's body weight.
Who should not use a weighted blanket?
Weighted blankets should not be used by infants or young children, or by anyone who has difficulty moving the blanket on their own. People with respiratory or circulatory conditions should also consult with a doctor before using a weighted blanket.
