Benefits of weighted blankets:
These gorgeous blankets are cuddly, soft and bumpy textured on one side for sensory input. One side is patterned with tribal feathers, suiting both boys and girls, the reverse side being silver/grey fitting in with most décor options.
Weighted blankets are like a virtual hug, calming both mind and body.
The weight of the blanket causes a release of serotonin in the brain (our happy hormone), which will aid relaxation and sleep.
The inner blanket (doona/quilt) is made from pure cotton, filled with 100% non-toxic glass pellets. It has tab-ties to tie to the cover so it doesn’t slip.
The cover is machine washable and the doona/quilt can be dry-cleaned or machine washed, depending on the weight load of your washing machine.
Perfect to use in bed, on the sofa, or travelling.
Important information: Please consult with a medical professional before using this product. Never leave a small child unattended while using a weighted blanket, and make sure the child is strong enough to push the blanket off his or her body if needed.
Weighted blankets should never cover a child’s face and should never be used for children younger than 4 years of age.
