ORDER GUIDE
BACKING FABRICS:
PLAIN COTTON - 240gsm, sturdy 100% cotton. This is the best choice for hot sleepers. Perfect all-year-rounder. Weighted blankets made of both sides of cotton would be the most cooling option in our collection.
DIMPLE PLUSH- 100% polyester, mid pile- soft fabric. Fluffy and pleasant to touch.
VELVET- 100% polyester, low pile soft fabric. Nice to touch and to look at.
All our fabrics are certified and suitable from 0+.
FILLERS:
Choose one of the two weighting fillings:
GLASS GRANULES-resemble the feel of the sand. Smooth and fine texture.
NATURAL GRAVEL- perfect for Eco Warriors and tactile seekers. The bumpy texture is lightly feelable through the fabric texture. This filling and the raw/natural cotton make the most sustainable eco weighted blanket in the market.
Fillings are certified and toxic-free.
SIZE:
This is always an individual decision but please remember the bigger the blanket the heavier it needs to be.
Example. If the child from my example above needs 100x150cm, 2,5kg then if you purchase 135x200cm then you'll need to make it 4.5kg to give the same weight pressure. You always look at the weight that touches the body, not the entire surface covering the mattress.
WEIGHT:
This is a fully individual decision determined mainly by your needs and the type of disorder that you wish to regulate along with the blanket size. The general 10% rule is suitable for milder neurological disorders or those trying a weighted blanket for the first time. How to work out a 10% ratio?
1 Look at the reasons for your purchase. If you have a serious need for deep pressure then make it 12-15% to satisfy your body and mind.
2. Pick the desired size. The bigger the blanket the heavier. Example: A child weighing 20kg, 140cm tall would need 100x150cm blanket weighing 2.5kg. A child with the same measurements but with the sensory disorder would need 3-5kg depending on the need for deep pressure, anxiety level and hyperactivity.
3. Please add the height, weight and reason for purchase in the comment section of the order. We have 7 years of experience in weighted therapy working alongside professionals and helping parents and carers.
