The benefits of the weighted blanket

The decision to invest in a weighted blanket is personal, but numerous studies suggest they offer a range of health benefits. The gentle weight helps your body relax more quickly, significantly reducing stress and anxiety by soothing the nervous system.

Weighted blankets are particularly beneficial for individuals with sensory processing challenges, ADHD, and other neurological disorders. Many users find weighted therapy incredibly supportive, and it’s crucial to select the size and weight that best suits your needs.

Quick Order Guide

BACKING FABRICS:
Choose from our selection of luxurious fabrics:

**Plain Cotton**: Durable 240gsm, 100% cotton. Perfect for warm sleepers and suitable for year-round comfort.

WEIGHTING FILLERS:

At Sensory Owl, we pride ourselves on customising our blankets to your specific needs. That is why we offer two types of fillers.

Choose between:
**Glass Granules**: These provide a smooth, fine texture reminiscent of sand.
**Natural Gravel**: Ideal for eco-conscious users, offering a lightly textured feel for tactile stimulation.

Rest assured, all our fillings are certified and free from harmful toxins.

SIZE:

Selecting the appropriate size of a blanket is absolutely paramount. It's important to bear in mind that larger blankets necessitate a greater weight to achieve the desired comforting effect. For example, if a child requires a 100x150cm blanket weighing 2.5kg, a larger option measuring 135x200cm should ideally weigh around 4.5kg to provide a similar level of soothing pressure. It’s crucial to focus on the weight that is in contact with the body, rather than simply the overall surface area covered. Furthermore, the dimensions should align with the intended use. If you're looking to use the blanket for a sofa—perhaps for curling up with a good book—you won't necessarily need a blanket of grand proportions. However, should you wish to employ it for sleeping, it's imperative to select a size that comfortably envelops you, ideally reaching up to the shoulders or neckline to ensure warmth throughout the night.

ZIPPER OPTION:

We proudly present a uniquely designed blanket featuring a convenient zipper running down the centre, ideal for couples who desire to snuggle in shared comfort. This thoughtful design ensures that each partner can enjoy the blanket without feeling restricted, allowing for an intimate yet flexible experience. Additionally, the zipper serves a practical purpose, making it easier to manage when the blanket requires laundering, especially if it is particularly hefty and not suitable for a regular wash. This blend of comfort and functionality truly makes our blanket a perfect companion for those cosy evenings.

WEIGHT:

Determining the right weight is personal and should be based on individual needs and the specific conditions being addressed. As a general guideline, the ideal weight is approximately 10% of the user's body weight, making it suitable for mild neurological disorders or first-time users of weighted blankets.

**To find the right weight for you:**
1. Reflect on your reasons for seeking a weighted blanket. If deep pressure is essential, consider opting for a weight between 12-15% of your body weight.
2. Select your desired size, bearing in mind that larger sizes necessitate more weight. For example, a child weighing 20kg and standing 140cm tall would need a 100x150cm blanket weighing about 2.5kg. However, for a sensory disorder, a weight of 3-5kg might be more appropriate, depending on the required pressure, anxiety levels, and hyperactivity.
3. In the comment section of your order, please provide your height, weight, and reasons for your purchase. With over 7 years of experience in weighted therapy, we collaborate with professionals to guide parents and caregivers effectively.
