5 out of 5 starsThis blanket is perfect in every way. It is super soft and the colors are lovely. The maker allowed me to choose from a wide variety of color combinations. The weighting is very evenly distributed and stable, and the combination of softness and weight make this blanket a soothing contributor to a restful sleep. Irlanda, the maker has been a pleasure to work with. The first blanket arrived with a tear in it—clearly the fault of the shipper . She immediately got on to making a replacement blanket and resending it. I purchased this blanket as a gift for my daughter. She absolutely loves it. I would order again from this maker in an instant, confident of a superior product.

Frequently asked questions
Care instructions
WASHING: - Machine wash separately in warm or cold water in a front loading machine. (Top loading machines typically have agitators which can damage the fabric)
DRYING: - Tumble dry on low/delicate cycle.
- Do NOT iron.
- Do NOT use bleach or fabric softener
Safety Guidelines
1. ALWAYS check the weight of the blanket that you purchase with a medical professional to be certain it is the correct weight for the person using it. While we will try to help by making recommendations when asked, these are only suggestions. You should ALWAYS confirm the weight/pressure with a medical professional before making your purchase.
2. NEVER use a weighted blanket as a restraint or punishment
3. NEVER use your weighted blanket as a "tent" or allow children to crawl underneath it, as this creates a suffocation risk.
4. NEVER use a weighted blanket in a crib or with an infant!
Order Cancellations
In order to avoid misunderstandings or issues...
1. I will gladly offer a full refund as long as I receive the request within 24 hours of the order being placed.
2. Any orders cancelled between 2 -7 days of being placed will be subject to a 20% cancellation fee.
3. No cancellations will be accepted or refunds issued after 7 days of an order being placed.
4. Currently I am on an extended vacation out of the country so some blankets may ship from outside the US. If that is the case, FedEx requires an identification # of the person receiving the blanket before I can ship it. Generally a driver's license, passport # or state issued ID should be fine.
Fabric Colors and Chalk Lines:
1. While every effort is made to represent color accurately, every monitor is different and we cannot guarantee the colors you see match the colors of actual fabric.
3. While I will make a good faith effort to find the colors you are looking for, it may not be exactly what you imagined. This cannot be helped and therefore will not be considered a valid reason for a refund.
2. You may notice some colored lines along the seams when you receive your blanket. This is simply chalk (non-toxic) used to mark the fabric for cutting and sewing it can be removed with a damp cloth or in the wash.
What is a Weighted Blanket?
A weighted blanket is like a regular blanket but heavier. It is typically sewn into pockets, usually square or rectangular in shape. Manufacturers use a variety of materials added into each pocket to provide the weight. The type and quality of materials varies and may include items such as plastic pellets (both virgin and recycled), glass beads, river stones, sand, steel ball bearings and even various organic materials such as rice or wheat. In addition to the material used for weight, some manufacturers also add a filler to each pocket to provide softness and to help keep the material from moving around inside the pocket.
How Does it Work?
A weighted blanket uses something referred to as DTP or deep touch pressure and sensory reinforcement in order to help with something called proprioception. The term proprioception refers to the brains ability to know where all of its body parts are in space. A good example of this would be if you are in a dark movie theater, you can still probably reach into a box of popcorn and find your mouth without taking your eyes off the movie. Another example might be if you stand up, stretch out your arms, close your eyes and then try to touch your nose. Most of us can accomplish this with little difficulty. The idea behind the weighted blanket is that it helps to reinforce the sensory input the brain is receiving by using weight.
What Size & Weight Should I Choose?
The Weighted Blanket’s Size and Weight
A Matter of Preference
For healthy adults, both the weight and the size of a weighted blanket is simply a matter of preference. There are of course, some caveats, but in general if the person using the blanket has full use of their faculties, can move and breath without any problems and is fully conscious then it’s nothing more complicated than preference.
We have found that many of our customers enjoy a really heavy blanket, while for others that same heavy blanket may actually increase their anxiety level and so they prefer something lighter. Our blankets run from 0.30 - 0.95 pounds per square foot with most of our adult customers preferring something around 0.65 on average.
What materials do you use?
Fabrics: - We use only high quality fabrics from reputable manufacturer's such as Robert Kaufman, Michael Miller, Timeless Treasures, Shannon Fabrics, etc. We never use low quality materials that can cause itching or fall apart with minimal use. All of our fabrics can be machine washed at home using cold/warm water, gentle cycle with no bleach or softener and then dried on cool delicate cycle in the drier.
For Weight: We use only virgin plastic pellets, food grade, BPA free HDPE. We never use recycled pellets which might contain unknown chemicals or residue. Our pellets are manufactured specifically for us and are non-toxic.
For Filler: For softness we use a soft polyester fiber which is hypo-allergenic and non-toxic.
